Has anyone installed a radio in their LX2610 or 3310 cab? Coleman Equipment sells a Jensen JHD1635BT radio that supposedly fits many Kubota tractors. After taking the cover plate off of the radio space in the headliner, I found nothing to mount the radio to. What is used to hold the radio in place?
Installing radio in LX3310

I would just go to the retailer of your choice and buy a single din radio of your choice with the features you desire. No need for anything too fancy as you are not going to get outstanding sound in the tractor cab.
Most radios today are so small and light they do not need extra support and the single din adapter that come with the radio is sufficient to support the radio. You may need a trim ring ring to go with the adapter as on my L4310 the inner roof panel is not thick enough for the tabs you bend on the adapter to hold it tight enough.
You will also need a pair of most likely 4" speakers and an antenna of sorts. The wiring should be there but you will have to integrate the radio harness to the tractor harness.

My B2650HSDC interior should be the same as your new LX 3310. I went to Wally World and picked up a radio that cost about $25. It come with mounting hardware to attatch it to the opening in the headliner. Sound quality is adequate for tractor use, but certainly can be improved upon. If you are thinking about different speakers to replace the originals, you would be required to remove the cab roof to do so. They are held in place with a nut that is only reached with the roof removed. 17 screws to remove to get the roof off. Most of the music I listen to is from my ipad with Bluetooth earbuds and ear muffs over the top. As stated above, I did have to make the connections to the radio with wirenuts as I didnt take the time to see if there is an adapter to go from the oem harness to the wally world radio.
The headliner itself is flocked blow molded plastic and it's not structurally strong enough to carry much weight without cracking. Kubota sells a metal tray to carry a radio that bolts in above the headliner under the roof.

I bought one of those cheap radios from Messick, don’t remember much about the installation so it must have gone well
. Messick is less than 5 miles from our place and is great to deal with.
As mentioned, the cab isn’t Cadillac quiet so it doesn’t really deserve a high end system. The radio is good enough. I use the USB slot to play TSFH instrumental music sometimes while mowing.
One evening while mowing (with the radio off) it startled me when it fired itself up and began ringing for my incoming phone call. Did not think Bluetooth was on because there is nothing I use it for.

Nothing compares to audio player marantz sr7013 that is not just an audio player, but a Home Theater with 3D sound. It can turn your room into a cinema with the highest 4k quality. After a hard day at work it's amazing to go home and relax in a different way.

I could buy 5 Bose Wave units for the price of that thing. Problem is, it will not fit in the cab of his tractor
