Looks like a clean install. I have mentioned maybe getting these for the wife and I. Cell phones may not always work and if we had to evac for a hurricane, this would come in handy. Where does the antenna get installed at?

@Barchetta, you definitely can mount the 575 to the same spot. The original YouTube video where I got this idea was about the 575, I think from Ozark Overland Adventures.
That's surprising. Pretty slick that it fits!

You want easy I just throw mine under the passenger seat zip tie power cord to the base of the seat it doesn’t move. Tuck mic cord under center shifter plastic on the side and mount it somewhere by the radio glove box takes literally less than 10 minutes to be up and running and everything is hidden

@Barchetta USB-C is for phone charger. It's a temporary solution, I'm still thinking about how to improve it.

Drill a hole in that dash tray and drop the cord down through it. I did this for a magsafe charger that i had on a ram mount track.

As for your phone cord, I just popped mine out from behind the touch screens bottom left corner with just enough length to reach the phone.
This is a six foot cord that is plugged into the usb port in the centre console.

Just another connector location for others reading this that doesn’t put any holes in any panels.
It’s just a piece of aluminum that I cut a square hole into and mounted it to the dash frame behind the panel face.

I bought a 3 foot Ethernet extension cable and routed it behind the passenger footwell carpet. The carpet pulls back really easily, and there is a nice place for it to poke out where two bits of plastic trim meet. This works on the passenger and driver side.

My phone holder is slightly covering it here. When I don’t need it, I can push the excess cable back underneath the carpet again until just the head appears.
