Ham Radio transceiver install in LR4
 

I just installed an ICOM IC-7000 and HiQ screwdriver antenna in a 2010 LR4.
If interested go to my website for pictures:

If you have any questions feel free to contact me.

Cool! How's it work? I'm having some difficulty finding a good mount. I picked up a minimally functional Cobra (19DX IV) and the little Will antenna, but I'm struggling to come up with a good spot to mount it. Any ideas?

I am not familiar with you antenna. If its long then consider the tow mount like I have in the picture. If its a short one you can get a small mount that screws onto the top tail gate (I use one for VHF/UHF)

Does your radio have a removable control head? If yes consider a mount that uses the drink well.

hi, I got a 2015 LR4 and the same radio. can you tell me how you installed the radio? did you connect the radio directly to the battery? did you did you use a relay or switch? I'm trying to find the ignition signal wire so the radio won't drain out the battery. Do you know which wire it might be?

I installed the IC7000 main unit in the trunk behind the plastic side panel door in a vertical position and the control head on a "drink holder base"in the central front drink well. I used the existing DC outlet in the trunk and did not install wiring from the battery. It worked just fine. I used some ferrite cores around the DC cable near the transceiver.
Have fun and drive carefully.

Looks good

Nice install
