People amaze me!!

I currently in the process of installing a Mobile phone kit in my prado (thanks everyone for the welth of knowedge on here, write up to follow soon - Yes pics!!!lol). I climbed upside down to look in the drivers footwell to find a nice spot for the control box. There right infront of me was a comms speaker, first thought was that will save me mounting the phone speaker!!

I also noticed some extra cabe under there, so I started chasing that, and it went to a black box with GME on it. Yep it is the control box for a TX3400 UHF CB.

After some further investigation, I found that some smarty must have decided to remove it, so they removed the remote head, and cut off the cable under the dash, and removed the aerial cutting the cable at the firewall, leaving the control box and power cables in. (Power cables actually ran in the same slotted duct and grommet as the coax!!)

So Monday morning I will be on the phone to GME (luckily the company has an account with them), to see if I can get a replacement heap for it.

Luckily I hadn't had the cash as yet to buy a new TX3420, was one of the first things on my wish list.

keep us informed as i have a TX3400 and the screen was drowned by dealer detailing prado.
so i'd be interested in the cost of just the remote head.
the head unit works just not the screen.
so let us know the cost

Nice find Matt

All I found in mine were some dehydrated McDonalds french fries, some lollie wrappers and some hair clips!

Hey damonat

got a price on the remote head, my buy price is just over $100.

Have ordered 1, $100 is a lot cheaper than the $350 I was going to pay for a CB

When I was installing my UHF i found the control box and a speaker for a hands free kit, they just cut the cables to it and blown the fuse lucky that it had a fuse on it.
