Here is the Radio install i did in my POV finally got some pic i think it turned out great.

The radio's from top to bottom are Uniden BCT 15, 996 and the Kenwood VHF TK 730 and my portable at the bootom is a uniden 396.

NIce clean job.

Dash looks familiar... I have an Exploder, same AC/Heat controls and glove box handle.

What did you do to secure it? Seatpost brackets or screw to the floor?

I actualley bolted the console to the seat post which keeps it nice and secure. 8)
I plan on adding a couple more radios in the near future and im also considering adding a Aux battery to my ford ranger to run my comms on with out killing my start up battery. so i was wondering if any one knows of a shop that i can have this done at and if it is even possibly to add a aux battery to this type of vehicle.


Thanks 8) 8)

If your underhood is as full as my Explorer is you'll have to look elsewhere to put the 2nd battery. Perhaps a sealed battery behind the seat or something. There is NO place in my engine compartment for even a half sized battery....

Get an isolator, another battery, some wire and you're all set.
