Thanks for the writeup. Found this thread because I'm considering installing the ICOM-2730A (or maybe the ICOM-2730B to get the darker display) as a replacement for my currently installed Midland MXT575 50W GMRS radio. It looks like you used the same antenna cabling that I already have installed...

Unfortunately I've never found anything suitable. I've stored it fully extended hanging against a wall in my outbuilding but this year I folded it up. I would think it could be wrapped in a large bag but without further disassembly it remains pretty large and unwieldy. If you find anything I...

FWIW, upgrading to 17.5.1 last night seemed to resolve my issue and I can now load the app. Not sure if that was coincidental but probably worth a shot in your case.

Good idea. I see that update is available for me so I will try it tonight.

My iPhone auto installed this update and it hasn't worked since. The app loads, briefly shows a screen saying that the app has been updated and then just goes to a blank white screen. Tried rebooting the phone, reinstalling the app and confirmed that I'm on the latest version of iOS, still no...

Wow, that does sound like it's worth a shot. In my case the issue only pops up intermittently when I start the vehicle (maybe about 25% of the time or less) so perhaps a delay would allow it to avoid competing with the start of the vehicle for voltage. I'm curious, what issue were you trying to...

I like to leave mine powered while I'm driving to receive weather alerts. I'd guess that some might not be interested in that feature but it's one of the reasons I installed mine. So my preference would be to have it power on each time I start my vehicle. Would be nice if the Midland unit...

I've got mine wired to aux as well for the past year or so and have seen what I would call a 'glitch' on occasion. In my case, the issue shows up when I first start the vehicle and all I hear is static over the loud speaker regardless of what buttons I press. The only fix seems to be turning the...

I get that. So you were able to get the dealer to do that update for you? Is there a TSB that they referenced for it?

For real, this sounds like something that could possibly be enabled with over the air update and/or Forscan. I wouldn't say it's the bigggest problem, but that wobble you get when you open the door too quickly feels like a quality/testing issue that was missed. Outside of this video, has anyone...

Appreciate all the ideas. It would be nice to just leave the bolts in place. I might try to downsize a bit on bolt length if I end up doing that since 4” would be plenty enough still for all four boards.

I recently added Hammer Built's tailgate reinforcement system to my Bronco in an attempt to fix some serious noise and vibration issues I've been struggling with for about a year now (long story that ended with a full dealer replacement of my tailgate that still didn't resolve the issue). I'm...

Good to hear. Can you give any specific detail on how it is different than the one you're currently selling for non-SAS Bronco?

Thanks for sharing, nice to see a successful install. I've suspected that hinge position has been a potential problem all along for this install but I was never able to get it aligned correctly on mine after multiple attempts at reseating the hinges. Seems like the installer in this video had no...

Thanks for sharing your experience. I was one of the early adopters that attempted install on a SAS Bronco without success and kind of hoped this problem was limited to my particular trim somehow, but seems to be a wider issue. I personally haven't heard about any successful installs apart from...
