Ahh yes my mistake. Thanks! Sorry for all the questions. Looking forward to a new project on my Gren!Ext 1 is under the bonnet ( hood ).
do you have any photos of how you opened up that area for the coax? I'm installing my GMRS radio also. Did you have to cut and re-crimp the connector at the end to get it through the hole?
Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures (sorry). You start by removing the lash bar and associated mounts - the black plastic panel behind the bar pulls off at that point. Behind it are several holes, one of which the power from the factory plug uses (if equipped). I ran a very small diameter coax cable through that rubber grommet, but it's too tight where the grommet narrows (think of a funnel), so where that happens I cut a tiny slit through which I was able to push the Co-ax through (with some silicone to help). Once through it was just a matter of fishing it BEHIND the air-bag and then down the b-pillar (3 pieces to remove - Ineos' instructions are here somewhere on the forum). The thin co-ax line was only 6-feet long, so about 2/3 of the way down the b-pillar I connected it to a standard co-ax cable which then ran into the battery box where I had the radio (head unit is mounted on the dash). You could also run it from the b-pillar to under the driver's seat if that's where you want to put your radio.
