With the 524, you most likely at most would have had an LS-454U Loudspeaker mounted to the Dash right were the holes are. That's about it really, if there was even that. Every install I ever used consisted of the Radio(s) in the back mounted in/on a Doghouse with the Handmike(s) clipped with hanger wire hooks taped to the Roll Cage between the Driver and Passenger. This was with a Reg Force Unit. Militia drove around with 77 Sets sitting in the back with the 10' Antenna poking out the top of the back door opening. I kid you not. 2060 Trays with 77 Sets were almost exclusively used in Section Vehicles like M113s or MLVWs used as Troop Carriers, where the occupants were likely to dismount.*
When TCCCS came along, things were a tad more refined and the CI Boxes allowed items like Speakers, Handsets, Headsets, PLGRs etc to plugged directly into them on the Dash rather than strung through the Cab.*
The VRC-12 (RT-524) system has a C-2299 that can be used in the same manner as a CI Box, but I never saw one in any of the Iltis I used in Canada or Overseas.*
