I use the window mount w/wooden block for weight. I would like to remove the dash and insert the wire? Anybody?

Why are using the wooden block? I'm sure you know but this plug us about 4 to 6 inches long so maybe this is not the setup for you? What is tha make model and year of vehicle? I would love to help but your question is a bit cloudy..

I really think the answer is no, because of the special adhesive tape they use and removing the inside part may rip the radio wires on the rear window. If it is mounted on a window with no wires, then it may be possible. You might go on line and contact the company that made that unit and see if you can get replacement adhesive tape. Hope this helps you.

Mine was located just under the dash by my right knee. It was easy plug and installation. I used (1) existing screw at the bottom of the dash for the bracket and it was more than sturdy enough.

I use weighted sandbag mount that just rests on the dashboard. Works OK for me. (it is a Garmin product).

Comes with a mount but not for under the dash, if your tech savy you can get a cheep peice of metal and make a bracket. The mount is durable though so you might be Able to fit it some how.

It has to be mounted on the window - I tried the dash - but the suction didn't take due to the rough pattern of the dash.

I have mine mounted on the frame under the dash simply with double sided 3M adhesive squares (didn't want to drill into the body of my classic car) it works GREAT!

Your best bet is probably to buy a board that is the exact same width as the window kit and simply close it in the slider on top of the hose/window piece that comes with the unit.

I added pieces if wood to the wall to mount the metal bar outside the window frame. I could not mount to frame as the frame is not flat. The wood also seems to make more secure and easier to open screen if needed.

It depends how you have it set up, they cannot take it away because they are not illegal to have and use except (i may be wrong) if you live in Washington and I forgot the other place (sorry). You also can't have it on vehicles passing a certain weight limit ( mostly class A trucks). They could give you a ticket for the wire if you have it hanging near you. They call it a distraction and you get fined for that. A simple was to solve that is to buy a direct wire kit and hide the wire. There are videos on youtube that show you how to install it.

Very easy to install. Remove two recessed wood screws on top of trim piece that goes over top of crank mechanism . One at each end. Then gently pry the trim piece up to remove. If the window has been painted a few times you may have to poke around a little to find the screwsPry the piece up and out and the mechanism is exposed

You can mount it in the dash by using the template and cutting a hole in the dash. The unit will be held in by four screws. Or, you can purchase the additional gimble mount and attach it wherever.

It can be removed from the dash, but you'll have to clean off the sticky part before you mount it again. We've done it a few times.

The Edge is all that I've purchased. Dash mount is included in package & there is no wire connections to make, just plug n play. I did check for updates before I installed it, but even that was good. Hardest part is routing the wire harness & even that is not hard, I had it totally installed in less than 10 minutes. Hope this helps!

No...no hardware is supplied. No backing plate either. To attach to the dash, I would use sheet metal or self tapping screws

Hi We thank you for the question, and unfortunately you will need the OEM brackets to secure the radio to the dash. This item only fills in the gaps. Thank you for choosing The Wires Zone.

Yes it is, we had the same problem. It just takes a pair of pliers or cutters to remove the longer links. Then you need to cut down the excess wire, but it is easy if you have any experience with wiring at all. The usual trim it to fit, then carefully cut back the plastic coating to expose the length of wire you will need to wire it to the ceiling mount.
