    Hi All. I recently purchased an Midland MTX575 and, for a couple of reasons, I think I am going to mount it to the side of my center console. I was thinking about using velcro with adhesive on the outside to do this.

    Any recommendations on a go to velcro option for this?

    Thank you.

    3M Dual Lock way better than Velcro especially with the heat but it have a very strong bond, if you use too much it can be very difficult to pull off without some sort of pry tool.

    Try two or three 1" strips and add more if needed otherwise you're pretty much glueing it to whatever you're attaching it to.

    X3 for the Dual Lock.

    If it's going on a plastic I'm unsure of, I also use the 3M tape primer.

    I recently used Dual Lock tape to install an Opt7 tailgate lightbar so I could easily remove it to access the spare tire lowering mechanism if needed. The tape is working like a charm.

    Only a joke man, but, your alternator probably cries late at night.

    LOL. Not really, only two things here powered from truck: CB radio and Garmin Oregon 650T. Not a big consumers, for sure. The rest is battery powered,
    usually in the field recharging them using power bank.

    Good deal. I just thought it was funny, but the more I look, I see why.
