Haz Posted March 25 Report Share Posted March 25 Welcome to the Forum, @Anidog! 23 hours ago, Anidog said: my small ham radio in that small storage compartment Is it the Upper Instrument Panel Storage Bin that you are considering?... Or is it the Driver's Small Stowage Drawer that you are considering?... And finally, what is the Model Year and Trim level of your Edge? Good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haz Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 As the Workshop Manual image shows, the removable Upper Instrument Panel Storage Bin is retained by six clips and two screws... The 2017 Edge Wiring Diagrams offer several views of Instrument Panel and Heater/Evaporator Core Housing harnesses... Clearances between the floor of the Upper Instrument Panel Storage Bin and the various wiring harnesses & Heater/Evaporator Core Housing are unclear. Removing the Storage Bin involves disassembling several trim pieces and center stack components using procedures described in the below-attached documents... Front Controls Interface Module (FCIM) - Removal and Installation - With Touchscreen - 2017 Edge Workshop Manual.pdf Front Controls Interface Module (FCIM) - Removal and Installation - Sony Audio System - 2017 Edge Workshop Manual.pdf Center Registers - Removal and Installation - 2017 Edge Workshop Manual.pdf Instrument Panel Storage Bin – Removal (Task-specific edited from 2017 Edge Workshop Manual resource).pdf Heater Core and Evaporator Core Housing (For Imagery) - Removal and Installation - 2017 Edge Workshop Manual.pdf Instrument Panel Wiring Diagram - Interior View - 2017 Edge.pdf Instrument Panel Wiring Diagram - From Firewall View - 2017 Edge.pdf Climate Control Housing and Wiring Diagram - Firewall View - 2017 Edge.pdf When faced with where to place a Galaxy CB radio in our previous MKX, I elected to mount the bracket on the driver's door panel storage bin... Outboard leg room was diminished a bit, but the radio's controls were visible & usable when driving, and being black-on-black, the radio wasn't obvious when looking in from outside the vehicle. Good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enigma-2 Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 Is there enough airflow in such a small space? Often times putting an electronic component in a small compartment will result in a high heat condition, shortening its life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
