I like it. Can it stay open while in transit?

I like it. But.. because it's my wife and she thinks of this stuff...

Where do you put your coffee when you need to talk on the radio?

Thats really cool. I have never seen a setup like that.

I like how it is nicely concealed. One of the reasons I have never done an install in my own car is because I never liked the idea of the radio being out in the open like that for anyone to smash my window and (try to) steal.

I guess Jon-Beau is still in business.... I havent seen anything from them in a few years.

It looks good..I would have used more of a stealth antenn.. Maybe a cell look alike or black UHF spike...

I haven't quite figured that one out yet. I am thinking of getting some aftermarket cup holders. A trip to the local auto store might yeild some results.

I took one look at it and said "Where's the radio?" Ho hum... then Damn! That's slick! That's Fed-slick too. Nicely done.

That's a damn cool little console.

At the moment, I drop a towel over the top of my radio head when I leave the vehicle, to keep it out of sight. The bracket for the head is a clamshell type, so I might replace the screws between the two sections of the bracket with thumbscrews, so I can just remove the cables, unscrew the head and take it with me.

The nature of the interior of my vehicle is such that I can't install a non-factory console of any type.

Yessirbuddy, I do like that install. That is sweet. Talk about hidden and out of sight . . .

Nice install but you still have the antenna to draw attention to the vechicle.
My 2 cents worth.

A tad pricey... but sure is slick.

Does it come with the cupholders already installed or do you have to put it in yourself? And what are the dimensions of the interior? Will a Uniden Bct-8 fit in there? thanks

and those look to be rather shallow cupholders too.

I do like the premise of the install, i would say the closer to stock and the less noticable the better. Bet if that was an A5 in there and a smaller mic, they could go make those cupholders deeper and more functional.

that's still a pretty slick job.
