Change radio out for a Blue Tooth model and install a new generic antenna. Remove cigarette lighter and replaced with a USB with voltage meter. Installed phone holder. Also put a cup holder with a push pin in the bottom, drink keep falling out on hills. Took a few hours but make working withe tractor easier

Where are the oh so necessary power supplies for the foot massager, and the blender?

Nice! I'd ignore the stupid comments though.

I still need to add USB ports to my tractors but I do have the same Kenwood head units and Scosche tubular magnetic phone mounts in both of my cabs.

..... and toilet paper holder too?
No need. I print off your posts on some nice soft paper and use that instead. A few sheets stuffed into a shirt pocket works well I've found. But you keep on ordering those Depends since they're obviously working well for you.

Slick upgrades. For the radio, did you require an additional wiring harness or was it plug and play? I'd like to upgrade to BT as well. I called crutchfield a while back but they were unable to verify if a harness was needed. On your phone holder, there appears to be no restraining clips that hold phone. Magnetic? My phone has plastic backing. What am I missing? Thanks.

Radio came with wiring diagram so I cut off old connector and put new connector on. The phone holder is held in place with two small bolts. I drilled holes in metal plate. If i were to add another hydraulic remote it could be in the way

Good idea, not sure I could have done that and it fit. Radio reception not great as compared to car. Guessing it’s the radio.
