I have the FTM-400D. I was going to install it in the Tahoe, but seldom drive
it, So, I am willing to sell it at a very reasonable price.

I have the FTM-300D and used a Lido mount that works well. The mount attaches
to floor using the seat bolt and gives you a flexible conduit up to where you
attach the faceplate. See pics on Lido mount’s website. I have the radio base
under the seat and hear it adequately but I think a remote speaker would be
better. There’s a lot of radio control you can do with the handheld mic once
you get used to it. I use mic controls more than faceplate controls when
driving but still look at the faceplate to see where the radio is tuned.
