Are you keeping your 275? If not, let me know. I may be interested in buying it off of you.
Just got word this morning from Midland that the MXT-575 is in stock. Placed my order immediately. Just got a message that they shipped it. Been wanting one of these for the Rubicon for quite a while.
Yeah I ordered immediately as well and only an hour or so later I got an email it shipped. And just as I was wondering how long it would take. I think I will install it behind the dash or under driver's seat. and mount an ethernet port on the dash so when not in use it is very clean.
Do you have different length antenna cable for sale? I have only seen the 6m length and would like something shorter.
And be able to order only the cable? I already have antenna, mount. Just waiting for the 575 to arrive.
Will do when I receive the unit and get my wiring laid out... thanks!
Did you find a place to mount it? Its a lot bigger than I was thinking and I'm struggling to find a place to mount it where it is hidden like my Cobra 75wxst. I have the extension cable so I'm not too worried about burying it somewhere, but under the dash, behind the glove box, etc all seem too tight. I found under the passenger seat, but being right next to the rear seat floor vent and on carpet seems like a bad idea.
It's almost shocking how much bigger it is.Did you find a place to mount it?

Passenger seat location, fits but seems like a very bad place to mount it.
under dash. I can get it under there, but it gets very close to the steering column and again, not a good idea... plus while set it there, I did not see any reasonable way to secure it well (even with making a mounting bracket for it) and away from the steering column. Came to the forums hoping someone had found a good hiding place.
The thing is quite big. I was thinking it was supposed to be 7in deep and 5.5 wide but that didn’t include the mount.In specs it didn’t seem like it would be much bigger than an MXT275 but in person it seems significantly bigger.
