This definitely has the tinkering aspect in spades that speaks of Doom and an endless pursuit for perfection. Oh woe is me.
It's funny, the huge head unit/giant centre dashboard lump in my car is acting up and sounds like it's ready to die. When it does it will be replaced with an aftermarket bezel and a much smaller digital media head unit. That leaves a ton of space for radio(s).
Haven't even figured one percent of this out and I'm already finding new places to add hardware lol
If you don't know how to solder yet, you may want to watch some youtube ;D PL-259 connectors are expensive also, I have learned. Even the Chinese ones.
FWIW if you don't want that huge Nangoya NA-771 I highly recommend this expertpower antenna. It's much better than the stock rubber duck one.

Also, the same company makes a 3800mAh extended battery that makes the radio easier to hold on to and last longer (TWSS...)
