    The real FTM-400XDR question

    I called HRO on Friday to check on the status of my order. They told me that they won't be getting their next shipment in until Feb 14th now. I guess i have lots of time to do the dedicated power line up to the overhead console. I guess it is time to spend some more money on this project.

    The real FTM-400XDR question

    Console is installed. I didn't take any pictures while putting it in but it is an easy install. I will shoot some pictures of it installed when I get my radio in. I will have to fab a bracket to get the radio up there. I also have to run the head remote cable to the dash and I think I'm going to...

    The real FTM-400XDR question

    It looks like my overhead console will be delivered on Monday(14th). I should be able to stay after work and install it on Tuesday. Radio isn't expected until later next week but I can do all the prep work before hand. Based on the size of the compartment and the size of the radio itself, I will...

    The real FTM-400XDR question

    Oof, I didn't know that they made all of these. Now you are going to make me spend money. Also seeing those pictures on their website and amazon has made me realize that my speaker bar in in there backwards. As a 6' 1" man I occasionally hit my head on it. I'll have to flip it around to put that...

    The real FTM-400XDR question

    I may have to scope out the passenger seat. I have the resources to fab brackets if need be. I wasn't so thrilled with such a low mounting location originally in case of water in the passenger area. The speaker overhead might not be so easy because I have the speaker bar. I'll have to do some...

    The real FTM-400XDR question

    First time poster, long time lurker. I drive a 00 Jeep Wrangler with soft top and recently had my FTM-100DR stolen. I had the unit mounted in the coin tray on the dash with the industrial strength Velcro. It was the only thing of value that could have been stolen and they finally did. To get on...
