The Subaru is used only on highway so only an amateur radio was installed, unlike the Wrangler and Cherokee which have both ham and CB.

All three vehicles have a Kenwood TM-V7A installed in them. I used the "remote mounting kit" to allow the control head for the radio to be placed on the dash and the radio mounted in a separate location. In this photo of the control head the shift level is in "park" so it is quite close to the control head. When driving there is a bit more room between control head and shift lever and visibility is fine.

The Subaru provides a small compartment on the passenger side in the trunk area. The radio body fits in there with not too much room to spare. Note that the remote programming cable that allows programming from a computer was connected to this radio before mounting. It would be difficult to connect this once the radio was put in place.

This radio has a built-in speaker which would not be of any use when the radio is mounted in this manner. So I used a remote speaker on the ceiling. Subaru provided a recess in the ceiling for storage of sunglasses. I removed the door to this compartment and mounted a speaker there.

The antenna is a dual band antenna made by Larsen Antennas. I used the same antenna for all vehicles, a short, spring loaded antenna. I used an NMO mount which requires a 3/4 inch hole drilled in the vehicle. This is the same mounting style used on police vehicles and other public service and commercial vehicles. If done properly this will not leak. You should have at least 18 inches of metal surrounding the antenna if at all possible.
