I’ll expand on it in a real post at some point, but the short story is that the wife (and daughter) are getting more into radio again and so I finally have a reason to want to install my FTM-400 in the VW Atlas. Now to hope that I have the strength, stamina, and ability to do it. I’ve done radio installs a few times now (Sport Trac, Escape, and the Transit Connect) so I’m certainly no stranger to the process, but I was younger then and working on a new car. Now it’s a 7-year-old car and I’m… not younger. At the very least, there will be no dropping of headliner and drilling of NMO mount, because there’s too damned much glass up there to find a spot of metal to drill through.
