Great advice from K5AQS for anyone who reads this thread with a similar question in the future.
I contacted Industrial Communications and they are very reasonably priced and helpful.

This was helpful so thank you!

You may want to consider having Industrial?Communications do your installation. They are a long standing professional two-way radio shop offering commercial radio sales and service. They perform many installations for SAPD and other departments. They have done three installations for me over the years and I have not had a complaint.

On that Note; always make sure you know what¡¯s on both sides of the firewall before you drill through it. Just FYI, watch out for any electrical connections that has a yellow plug-ins. They are commonly used for Airbag circuits and any Airbag related components. If your vehicle has any high voltage circuits like a 110v DC plug or inverter, they would normally use Orange wire connectors and in most cases, the harness is also wrapped in an orange color vinyl or cloth tape. Stay away from those two and you should be fine. On Tue, 18 Feb 2025 at 10:33?am, Miller, James G 'Jim' - KI5ESV via <jmiller= [email protected]> wrote:

Thank you for the responses. Very helpful.

(If I approach that firewall access from the inside behind the glove compartment. I think I can get it done that way with some patience.)
Going to go with 12 awg wire and 20 amp inline fuse for the positive terminal with the ground directly attached to the chassis.
Further advice is always appreciated!

Thanks again,

Mobile question¡
I have a new Radiodity qt 80 (I know please don¡¯t judge it¡¯s all I could afford). I have a question about using it in my car. I¡¯ve heard mixed opinions on using a cigarette lighter adapter for power. Any thoughts on those or is it just a bad idea?

Good evening,
I did a mobile installation on my truck last year, and my solution was to just go around the firewall.? I put the main unit underneath the rear seat, so the way the power got run was straight down from the battery, through the frame, and up through a hole in the floor.? There's then an ethernet cable run from that main unit up to the front head unit to make the magic happen.
Your mileage may vary, of course.

Depending on your vehicle type, there may be a wire gland somewhere you can cut into. Run a search on 'vehicle-type firewall wire routing'.
Or! You can bypass the firewall completely and go under then drill a hole up under the diver seat or under the center console. I routed my jeep that way using the frame as a conduit.
Lots of ways.
Good luck!

Also try going into the fender well and then into the side of the vehicle where the door wiring goes iin

Greetings Everyone,
?
Introductions first I think:
Josh Beck:? KJ5KBW
I am a high school cybersecurity certification instructor with NEISD.
(Lot's of San Antonio jobs high school students can qualify for with the right credentials.)
?
My question:
I'm new to Ham Radio and also a new member. So, newbie stuff.
I'm going to go ahead and do a mobile installation in the next few weeks and the firewall access between my engine compartment and passenger cab is a bit difficult to access.
Although I might decide to go after it some weekend myself, is there a recommended shop that would do a straightforward wiring job?
I just need to get two 10-gauge wires (red and black) routed from the engine to the cab. (The crimping and connections I'm sure I can handle)
?
I figure if anyone in San Antonio would have recommendations about good shops like that, it would be SADRC.
?
Much appreciated and feel free to give me a call out on the air.
?
Josh Beck

Thanks Keith.?Can I give you a call tomorrow?
