jedi converta-com instal ideas?

Post by rrfd43 »

I have a 97 k2500 pick up and want to see if anyone had ideas for installing a jedi converta-com. I like clean looking installs and can't seem to get a good spot. I was thinking of under the rear seat. Anyone got some ideas? Send a picture if you've got em!

is this the only radio gear in the vehicle? WHen I had my 95 Yukon which had the same interior as the 97 I had a full console setup, but I put the controller unit for the MTVA under the drivers seat. Plenty of room for it and it was well hidden. I'd just place the console itself in front of the factor console or inside it for a stealth install.

Sorry it took me so long to get back on this......I took some pictures of what I did, but of course I always like to look for better ideas....
On the dashboard picture you can see that I have the x-9000 head down low and well out of the way, but easy to get to. Next to it is the "privacy handset" for the star-tac hands free kit. The phone is pedistal mounted. The converta-com I placed under the rear ex-tra cab seat. It seems to work good. Anyone have a better idea?????
