Gday guys. I'm thinking about getting a gme uhf radio. the tx3100. mainly because of its size has anyone tried fitting one into the ashtray hole on a jimny? according to the dimensions on the site it will just fit but I'm worried about the bracket that comes with the radio being too wide. has anyone given it a go yet? cheers Scales |

Photos in here somewhere, I actually mounted mine in the tray itself as I couldn't be bothered making a fascia panel up. GT http://auszookers.com/index.php?name=Fo ... 6354#96354 |

thanks for the replys guys, Im thinking more of taking the whole ashtray out and attaching the radio to the metal tray that the ashtray slides into. Its not a show-stopper if i cant do it, I guess if i cant do it ill just mount it elsewhere but itd be nice to know i could if i wanted to. |

for what its worth GME, Uniden etc actually sell fascia plates for single din applications, I also originally thought of mounting it without the tray but its like a cock in the grand canyon and the tray made the whole install real easy. |

cheers monkey, thats my plan B actually  i like that spot also. I dont want to DIN mount it at all as i am looking at putting a dual din stereo with oziexplorer navigation software in the future.
and for now, i like the convenience of the din tray hole when you say you were going to do the ashtray also, was it going to fit okay? as i can handle it being a pain in the ass to get in there. |

fair enough, im gonna give it a crack then when i get one. im thinking if it doesnt mount well to the existing metal bracket/rails/thingy, i might just make a quick bracket up to suit |

yeah i usually put the bungs for my air bed in there, but i think that a UHF radio is going to be a MUCH better use. i use the little pocket next to the handbrake for my pocket crud. |
