I still own a 2011 CVPI great car. Just bought a 2018 FPIU and trying to find all the missing parts. Here in Canada its not easy to find parts for newer cop cars at a reasonable price.

Welcome to the Explorer world.

Thanks.

I haven't been very active either in the forums or on the air lately. I was thinking about trying to stuff a mobile somewhere in my 2017 XLT and noticed that Ford has made it extraordinarily difficult.

Right from the start I had realized that I would need one of the split mobiles with the body stuffed somewhere and just a control head within reach, but when I started looking around the idea really looks difficult. There aren't many decent places to mount a control head, and God only knows where I'll be able to put an antenna on this thing without getting a shop to pull the headliner and drill the roof for an NMO. I had thought I'd be able to use some sort of lip-mount on the rear hatch or a back door, but none of those look doable.

I'm hoping someone has better ideas than what have occurred to me so far.
