Vehicle Car Gear shift Family car Hyundai

Just thought i would share a picture of my install of a GME TX3100 into the centre console as i wanted it to look neat, and didnt want to buy a roof console. There is three blank switches in this location which can be removed and then file out the dividers between the switches and it pretty well just slips in. I then used the bracket supplied and secured it with small screws out of sight to the back of the empty switch panel. You need to run an external speaker which i mounted underneath the dash near my left knee out of sight. The TX3100 is a very small unit not much bigger in size than a packet of smokes and works great!! I got the UHF, Aerial and external speaker for $385 new.

Gday Joostoz, the reason you need an external speaker is when you install the unit in this location the speaker is hidden inside the console and you wont hear it.
Here is some pics of the external speaker i fitted....

I removed the nut from a bracket that holds the computer i think then put the speaker on the bolt and replaced the nut.
As for the wiring I took power from the back of the cigarette lighter which runs on 'accessories' power.
By the way you will need to remove the entire centre console to do this install but its not hard and took me about 1 and a half hours. Hope this helps.
