A premium UHF is only as good as the hands that install it. πŸ“‘πŸ› οΈ

Buying the top-of-the-line GME XRS-370C4P 4WD Pack is step one. Step two is making sure it actually works when you’re out of range in the Flinders.

Anyone can bolt an antenna to a bullbar, but a bad DIY job brings engine whine, dropped signals, and snapped brackets.

The Electric Bug Install Standard:
Hidden Chassis Integration: The rugged die-cast chassis is tucked entirely behind your dash panels, leaving only the professional-grade OLED speaker mic visible.

Pristine Signal Shielding: We route and isolate all heavy-duty power lines directly to block out alternator noise and cabin interference.

Precision Antenna Tuning: The included AE4704B heavy-duty radome antenna is mounted securely with custom cabling checked for maximum output power.

Since 1976, Adelaide’s serious tourers have trusted our workshop. We don’t just supply the gear β€” we execute the perfect install so you’re never left stranded.

πŸ“ Drive your rig into our workshop at 199-203 Torrens Road, Ridleyton or message us to secure a booking spot.

Hidden security. Flawless installation. πŸ”’πŸš˜

Standard dash cams stick out like a sore thumb. Thieves just smash them off the glass.
The BlackVue DR770X Box Pro fixes that. It splits the system in two: ultra-compact, low-profile lenses on your glass, and a key-locked recording "Box" hidden completely out of sight under your seat or behind the dash.

Anyone can plug a camera into a cigarette lighter. Our expert installers deliver a seamless, hardwired integration:
Zero Exposed Wires: Routed cleanly behind factory panelsβ€”no messy cables, no rattles.
Native 24/7 Parking Protection: Automated voltage cutoff to protect your battery.

Built for Adelaide Heat: Stowing the main processor away from the blistering windscreen glass keeps your footage safe.

Flawless Vision: Crystal-clear Sony STARVIS Full HD front, rear, and cabin coverage.
From commercial fleets to custom 4WDs, if it isn't an Electric Bug install, it isn't fully secure.

Heavy-Duty Comms for the Ultimate Workhorse: LandCruiser 79 Series meets GME XRS-375C4P βš“πŸš™

When you are taking a 79 Series Cruiser out into the corrugations, your gear cannot be a point of failure. Absolute reliability on the track is exactly why this customer brought their rig to our Ridleyton workshop for a definitive communications setup.

We paired this legendary 4WD platform with the specialized GME XRS-375C4P pack. Our team handled a seamless hideaway installation, keeping the rugged dash completely clean while putting total system control directly into the heavy-duty XRS hand microphone. Combined with the heavy-duty radome antenna mounted firmly out front, this setup maximizes range through dense scrub, deep valleys, and remote stations.

With Bluetooth App control, offline maps, and premium audio playback, this 79 Series is fully equipped to keep the driver connected, informed, and safe on the most demanding tracks in Australia.

Planning your next remote expedition or setting up a reliable work vehicle? Don't leave your comms to guesswork. Drop into Electric Bug to discuss a professional, adventure-ready setup tailored to your rig.

GME XRS-375C & High-Performance Roof-Mounted Antenna Installation

Out here, a 1% installation error can mean 100% isolation. πŸ“‘πŸœοΈ

Planning to cross the Simpson Desert or tackle the Oodnadatta Track? When the bars on your phone hit zero, your UHF system isn't just an accessoryβ€”it's your lifeline.

We just rolled this rig out of the Electric Bug workshop in Adelaide, equipped with the trusted combination of a GME XRS-375C and a high-performance roof-mounted antenna.

Why getting it done right matters:

βœ… Hidden, Clean Install: The XRS main unit is completely concealed behind the dash, keeping the cabin clutter-free while everything runs through the heavy-duty OLED speaker mic.

βœ… Zero Interference: We route and shield the power cables correctly to eliminate the engine hum and electrical noise often found in cheaper DIY installations.

βœ… High-Performance Roof-Mounted Antenna: Professionally installed in the optimal position to maximise signal coverage and communication range. Built to handle long-distance touring, remote travel, and the harsh conditions of the Australian outback.

Since 1976, Adelaide's 4WD community and transport drivers have trusted us to keep them connected.

Don't leave your safety to chance on the tracks.

πŸ“ Drop into our store and book your rig into the workshop. Let's get you sorted before your next adventure.
