The other benefit of doing this is that if it is off after timing out then just press the power button on your car radio and it will bring accessories back online and also give power back to the UHF. After this temp turn on the time out will start counting down again.

For 1.5 years I used a magnetic mount antenna on the roof but the main grommet for the engine bay is accessible and has spare slots so running antenna cable is easy.

UHF is behind and beside the glove box ( LH Pillar ). Was I tight fit where I put it but it worked out well. This will all depend on what UHF you actually use too.

forgot all about this I did it this way for anyone wondering and it works perfectly.
