I have an upcoming project that will require me to pull out the factory console out of a 04 Ford Explorer SLT and install a Troy Console with NHD Floor mount. Has anyone ever done one of these? I've installed the Jotto Console that uses the factory console as a base, but have never pulled out the wh...

My friend has asked me to help him get better sounding audio from his scanner and 2-way. He has a 2003 GMC 2500 4X4. The problem is that when he is driving down the highway, the road noise and sound of the tires almost drown out the audio from the speakers. Now my friend is a veteran firefighter wit...

A little off topic, but how do you adjust your A/C & Heater in the Explorer? Looks like the siren is right in the way?

I am not sure if this is the appropriate forum for this question or not, but I am looking for the names of communications dealers offering 2-way UHF Repeater communication in the Los Angeles, Ventura County areas.

Looking to find a vendor that sells a Line Filter that can handle 30 Amps or more. I like the Kenwood KLF-2 units, however they are harder to come by, other than through a dealer. I know that these are sold at automotive stores, but the ones that I have seen all have 18 AWG wire. I am looking for on...

Any Federal Signal Reps out there? Saw this baby installed in an LAPD Detectives car yesterday, but can't seem to find it in the FedSig catalog. Looks like a mini version of the SS, but with less buttons (6). Sure would be nice if Federal Signal could come up with a product similar to the Touch Tek ...

I installed a Federal Signal AS124 in my 2000 Jimmy. Should be the same body style.

However if you have access to a Dynamax, you won't have to make too many adjustments like I had to.

Sean,

That's awesome.

Great Idea. I had a similar idea to cut a hole in MDF and attach it to the front opening of the Troy console so that I can get the Bass speaker working again.

Very well done, and thanks for the pics.

code3media

Thanks, but the question is can I completely disconnect the amp and not use it? I don't have room for it in my console, and I don't listen to the radio all that much anyways. I just want it out of there, but want to make sure that when I remove it, the remaining speakers in the car will work. Thanks...

I will be removing the factory console this weekend and replacing it with a Troy console. Problem is that the console has the BOSE sound system and amplifier located inside it.

I found out that this part may be called a ULM16-SS made by Unitrol. I found this at http://www.pwservice.com/fedsigsiren.htm. Does anyone have ideas on how this is done? It sounds relatively easy, right?

I have a Fed Sig Smart Siren SS2000 and have just purchased a CDM1550 radio. I would like to integrate the mic into the SS2200SS PA connection. I have seen this done with Spectra's.

If you have any ideas on how I can accomplish this?

Any assistance is greatly appreciated. =)

Thanks for your input. Rolling the LCM IP switch all the way down does indeed kill the interior light. Thanks 007.

code3media

Thanks for the info. I want to be able to kill the interior lights if the door is opened. Basically a "Black-out" or "Dark Car" mode. If it is as simple as rotating the IP light switch to the down postion, even better. I will have to check and see if that works. If not, it wont b...

code3media

Anyone know an easy way to put a black out switch in to kill the dome lights when the door is opened. Short of finding the feed to the light and putting a switch in line, is there an easier way?

Thanks,

No problem! Glad I could help.

To re-enable the domelights to turn on when a door is opened, seperate the blue male and female single wire connectors on the passengers side of the car under the glove box. Then disconnect the battery leads from the car battery, leave disconnected for a couple minutes, and reconnect. "Dark car...

Relm has discontinued those scanners. You can still find them online though.

Not that I am not impressed with the setup, and wished I had the cash to do something like that, but isn't that why the scanner was invented?

What are you refering to in not being able to use amber lights anymore? Both quoted sections have nothing to do with Amber warning lights. No matter what, you're covered under 25268 CVC.

As for multiple power lines- very hokey. Multiple feeds are not simple and give many more areas for a failure to occur- and it's just plain unprofessional. It also takes more work and time to run multiples. Multiple lines are what one would expect from a high school vo-tech center, not someone that...

DONT USE THE ASHTRAY FOR PRIMARY POWER! Bad Idea to use the ashtray power for power to your console. Better to use a 10 gauge or larger and run it direct to Battery (+). Very easy to do.

Great Looking install. Only one thing that I would be concerned about would be the way the Kenwood "brain" is mounted on the side of the console. Maybe move it to a place that it cannot be bumped with the arm. It looks like those connections are fragile and It would probably damage the rad...

Did you ever get an answer? Which AVA were you using? (AS3, XTS?) I emailed Motorola and they say the HHCH HMN4044D works with the AVA.
