Ive got a MXT575 radio that I am looking to install and trying to find the best place to put it. Right now easiest location I have found is under the passenger seat with it powered by the passenger side 12v outlet. I looked up under the dash and I dont really see any place it would fit there.

Anyone have suggestions on a better place to put it?

I mounted my radio on the kick plate just in front of where the fuse box is, under the knob controller for the headlights. My setup (btech) has controls on the actual unit itself and a screen so I can see which freqs I’m using. I needed it where I can see the screen and adjust the volume. The two options for mounting were either on the dash, where it’s always in the sun and visible, or out of the way and semi-hidden from view. Space is limited in these trucks, as I’m sure you know.

For my Frontier I installed mine in the Center Console. Did that with a MXT575, but now I'm running a GME XRS-330C. Yes it is less power, but the quality is much better on sound! Also it's made in Australia I stead of China like the Midland and others
