What did you use for hardware and what did you attach it to? Did you run power & coax under the headliner?

That's where I mounted mine. I love the location but the face sits back to far. You can't see the screen of it while driving. Other than that, I think it's out of the way and serves its purpose. I ran all the cords and wires above the headliner.
