We were going to mount it upside down under the chassis and route the antenna through our electrical board so it still points up. We wouldn't be having the problem of placing the radio someplace this year, except the radios are more than twice as big as the old ones. Does anyone know the reason behind this? I have not seen any improvements or advantages that this monster has other than its easy to find .
