Sorry if a subject like this has been posted already, but I couldn't find anything using the search...

I'm a Ham Radio operator, and I am looking to install a two way radio in my Rogue, but there doesn't seem to be anywhere good to put one that won't make it seems really out of place.

For those of you wondering what kind of radio I talking about, something like this:

Has anyone installed something of this sort, and if so, where did you put it? Bonus points if you include pics....

you can remove your headunit, and get a single din radio. then mount this below it. this Yaesu FT-7900R is a single din radio unit. i had a uniden bearcat trunktacker like (image below) in my altima, maxima, and it was awesome. i took the "speaker out" wire and split it into two via a splitter from radio shack, and had it going into the AUX of the headunit, and one to a stand alone speaker behind the glove box.

I put in a Icom 2m/440 rig that has a remote head.. Double side foam taped it to the right of cig lighter outlet.. it covers up the passenger airbag light (who cares) - rest of radio is sitting on the floor underneath the back seat foot air vent (under the seat) - Ran coax in door jamb up to trunk and over the rubber to a VERY flexible mag mount.. looks permanently installed.. I used an old school speaker that has a magnet on the bottom if it, that's sitting on the steel of the seat aiming up... Can hear it fine. If you want a pic lmk.
