Nav, electronics, and coms are done!

In this photo is:

• A Switch-Pros panel
• TYT TH-9800 quad band head unit (radio under driver seat)
• A 1/4 wave antenna (hood hinge mounted)
• A 10" budget Android tablet on a Hondo Garage Un-Holey mount and a RAM Tab Tite
• My Galaxy S8 on a Scosche mag mount
• A Tekonsha electronic brake controller
• A DDPai dash cam (in front of the rear-view)
• Hiding under the hood is a Genesis dual battery kit and two Yellow Tops to power it all

Phone and dash cam are powered by a 12v outlet I hid above the upper console/headliner. I tied into the sunroof constant power source and added a fuse for the 12V outlet.

Super happy with how clean everything ended up, and wanted to share a photo in case you were looking for places to mount stuff. I didn't end up trying to fit a CB. The quad band can listen to CB frequencies, but it won't transmit on AM. If I'm on a trip where I HAVE to have a CB, I have a handheld.

I love that I can stow the mic and the tablet and mount away if I need to, and the 1/4 wave on the hood looks like a stock FM antenna, super stealth. Thinking about eventually tearing into the TYT HU and swapping out to blue LEDs to match the truck illumination, but we will see.

 

That's clean AF, love it!

Damn, you fit a lot of stuff there, it looks good though! Did you need the second battery to power that or do you think one would’ve worked?

 

I think I'm well under the NEED for two batteries with what's in this photo alone. But I also had to factor in LED lighting, an ARB compressor, a Kicker audio system with two amplifiers, and a Dometic fridge... I think that pushes it into the necessary category.

 

you listen to Coldplay.....

Sweet set up though.

 

I used to listen to them a lot, but now it's just with satellite radio plays it
