    Default Passport 8500x50 Install - Revision 1

    This is my first attempt for my hard wiring, there is more coming down the pipe and look for an update in the coming months. I just wanted to get rid of the dangling cord for now... so annoying.

    Nice job, that is the way it should be mounted.

    did you drill out a hole to slide the cords thru the back of the dash for the remote mute ??

    Thanks =)

    and how it was run is through the headliner down the a-frame to the fuse box. Then the wire was run across the dash and through the shifter. I'm sorry V995OHDH but I'm not 100% sure what your asking.

    I assume he needed to drill a little hole to get the wire through into that little cubby opening.

    yah I drilled into the change holder and ran the cord back through the dash.

    and thanks for the compliments guys. There will be a second revision here as soon as I order my LI + CB radio. I plan on flush mounting the CB and doing something cool with the mute buttons. but you all will see soon enough =)
