Has anyone installed a CB in the CRD? If so, where did you put it.
The only thing I have figured out to do is to install a CB with the electronics on the mike under the seat and then hang the mike somewhere on the console. I have not checked on power circuits yet, but will wait to see if there is some install that will allow power plug use.

I have mounted my scanner between the pass seat and the console. It fits snug, but works just fine. No holes to mount it.

although somewhere there's another one that I remember but I can't find it - the guy took a flat piece of steel about 18 inchs long - drilled 2 holes for the headrest mounts, made a hook at the end and had the CB mike at ear level from the passenger seat..
Drives me crazy that I can't find it.. search finds 30+ pages of CB mounts and I don't see that one.

Thanks, I will check out the console mount, but pass on having the radio hang on the ceiling over the rear mirror. It would be a missle in a crash plus the wiring issue would be tough. The mount inbetween the console and the seat seems best. I have not purchased a unit yet, but there are a few "compact" units which may fit. In addition, I could easily get power out of dash plug and run wire for mag mount antenna out rear door.

Hi vtdog ,

I have a CB mounted under my driver seat . I drilled a hole big enough to fit a screw through the side of the seat mounting bracket and fastened directly into the side casing of the unit. I then wedged some foam rubber between the radio and carpet to add some extra support . I did the same thing for the mike. Where the seat bracket begins to turn up towards the front side I drilled two holes and fixed a small mounting cradle there . My mike slots in comfortably and all I need to do is reach down with my free hand and pull it out the cradle. If you have a navigator you are able to feed the mike out from under the driver seat and over to the passenger side as well . The elasticated cord stretches pretty far . Let me know if you want some pic's and I'll post them for you.

If you haven't purchased a radio yet, you may want something small and light-weight. Velcro works wonders when installing in tight spaces.

Thankful to now be an EX-CRD owner.

Here's an install I came across, good if you can find a small CB. Picture in second post.

Another guy had one installed in his door pocket.

Thanks for all the info: the "industrial strength" velcro and under seat mount seems to be the way to go

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THIS FORUM IS FOR !!!!!!!

If anyone is wanting to put a cb in the small area in front of the shifter, you may want to consider this one:

I haven't done it, but with the discussion here, I checked out Cobra's website and came across this model. It looks like the right dimensions to fit in, even though you would have to make a hole in the back of the storage area to install. Probably wouldn't hurt to have a small external speaker on it as well.
