Abstract: An arrangement for mounting a joystick wherein a ball having a spherical portion and a frustoconical portion is mounted in a cylindrical socket within a housing. A cap having a frustoconical surface complementing the frustoconical surface of the ball is mounted on the housing. An O-ring engages the spherical surface of the ball and urges the frustoconical surfaces into engagement. When the joystick is tilted relatively far, the spherical surface of the ball engages the frustoconical surface of the cap and retains the joystick in its tilted position; however, when the joystick is in a near-center position and is released, the frustoconical surfaces on the ball and on the cap are in engagement and cause the ball to snap back to the center position. This provides tactile feedback centering for the joystick.

Abstract: A mounting system includes a plurality of mounting structures attached to a perimeter of the radio and having longitudinal apertures extending therethrough. The mounting system also includes a plurality of mounting brackets having a pair of hook shaped ends opposing one another in spaced apart relationship and being disposed in the longitudinal apertures. The mounting system further includes fasteners for fastening the mounting brackets to vehicle structure.
