Weboost unit location in cab

[kcjaz]

I've searched but failed to find may pics of where/how people have mounted their cell booster unit in the cab. I may ultimately hard wire it into ACC but for now will use the cigarette plug. I know I've seen some pics of this on Mud but can't find them now.

Here's how I mounted mine. The wires from the unit to the power plug and to the internal antenna are long and reach all the way to the front of the cab from the unit in the back.

Installed WeBoost Driver Reach cell signal booster. Went on a nice foggy afternoon drive to test it out.

Cables route pretty well under the floor mats. I can leave all the parts in-place where there are now, except remove the external antenna and stow it whenever not in use.

Main unit tucked under 3rd row seat against wall, where it fits with seat either up or down. Power and internal antenna cables route under floor mats to front center console.

Internal antenna placed in the tiny storage area in the console lid between the two front seats. I know just looking at the phone's bars isn't the most scientific way to evaluate, but it consistently added at least 2 bars to both driver and passenger phones. Seem to get another extra bar if I hold my phone right next to where the internal antenna is stored.

I ended up putting mine in the ashtray.
Also considered behind the start stop button, and up by the mirror.

My ashtray is usually open, as I have the volume control for my amplifier in there, this angles the antenna to get a bubble around the front seats, and middle of second row.

I have my Yeasu and Weboost mounted on the carpet between the back of the 2nd row and drawers. External speaker is up front.

Oh, the unit itself? Under the right / us passenger seat is a large space under the carpet.
Need a 1m extension to get there from my hatch mounted antenna.
