VHF radio install pic's

[IRONMAN]

Radio was mounted inside the console. Was a little bit of a hassle to grab the mic or hear the radio clearly. I decided to extend the mic jack to the side of the console and use an external speaker. Came out pretty good IMO.

Where do you buy this?

Looks like a RJ-45 jack. A lot of radios use that style plug now.

I made it.
Took a standard network wall jack and dermeled it down to fit. Used a RJ-45 coupler to attach it to the keystone plate. Had to cut a hole in the console, but it was t that bad.

is the gear shiftier in the way to mount the radio in the same location as the jack? I have not had it apart and not something I'm wanting to do just because.

Might need to do this. My truck is apart right now I have my radio in the center console as well.
Thanks, ill look into building one as well.

I need to do it also... Love having concealed radio, but hearing it, and finding the mic is a pain..

Wilson, Ya, there is no place in the shifter area for the radio. Lots of other wires, and linkages. Here is the pic of the radio install before I moved the mic. I used a standard CAT5 network cable I think about 4' long. There was already a hole from the console into the cupholder area from the radio install so I just used it.
