Great news! I wonder what the wiring harness inside will be like. I have a few random double din radios from various junkyard expeditions, I wouldn't be against slapping an old Ford F150 radio in there or something. Hopefully it's a simple MOLEX plug or something you can whip up an adapter for power and stuff.

Car radios have changed a lot since the last time I looked. This one is more my style:

Don't you still need something like a shark fin antenna?

im guessing there will be a video on the “Slate University” that they say is coming

couple of possible options is a stick on window antenna or a hole here option

Maybe the spare tire upgrade bumper will have mounting points for extra stuff. Could slap one of those wobbly CB radio antennas on there!

I know the Jeep guys have several antenna mounts that go on the hinges, spare tire carrier, etc. I wouldn't be against those, but a little shark fin or stuff like mod 00s cars had with the little 6'' rubber one I wouldn't be against. Even a hole in the top of one of the fenders for mounting an old whip style would be good.

Let's hope Slate makes the fuse panel with an easy access power buss to connect all these DIY customization hardware installs we all are planning to implement.

Fuse taps aren't going to cut it.
