MICOM-2BT Trunk Mount Installation
Installation
In the MICOM-2BT Trunk Mount model, the control head, speaker, and
microphone are installed in the passenger compartment. The control head can be
installed overhead or under the car’s front panel, the radio transceiver is installed
in the trunk of the vehicle, and the Automatic Antenna Tuner (ATU) can be
installed in the car trunk or on the vehicle luggage rack or on an external spare
wheel.
The following figure illustrates the installation procedure for the MICOM-2BT
Trunk Mount model, and shows the options for the different components.

Installation Notes:
1. Overhead installation of the control head (#1 in Figure 2), is recommended rather
than front installation (#2 in Figure 2), because the vehicle roof protects the
control head from direct sunlight.
2. When the ATU is located in the trunk or on the spare wheel, one or two cables
must be run across the length of the vehicle (depending on whether the battery is
located in the rear or front section of the vehicle). For ATU installation
instructions, see the ATU Installation Manual (68MB000005).
