Thanks snwboarder919... pretty sure I follow what you did (pics would be appreciated if you have them).
I love that mounting location, just looking for a solution that allows me to remove the CB quickly (not looking to drill holes through plastic or anything permanent).
Thanks again... nice install.

batsoff you might consider the handheld display units which allow the main body of the radio to tuck underneath your seat for example.
Hold on let me find a link...
http://www.amazon.com/Cobra-75-Hands...5822459&sr=1-4
such as this Cobra unit for ultimate hideability when you are away from the truck-remove the antenna and hide the handheld and no sign of a CB-I considered going that route but I wanted to try a less expensive method first.

But those are not sold here in North America.
So, yes, you got one of the most featured items here, but it's not full of features you can think of.
I too have Cobra 29 and miss my Alan 48 Excell and Maycom HM-27.

Anyways, how do you find the performance of this radio? Particularly, how do you find the bluetooth option? How close does the mic have to be for the person on the other end to hear you clearly?

Hey Snowboarder919. Nice mount! I'm torn between mounting it the way you did or underneath by my transfer case shifter.
Anyways, how do you find the performance of this radio? Particularly, how do you find the bluetooth option? How close does the mic have to be for the person on the other end to hear you clearly?

The bluetooth option includes another smaller mic that you can mount anywhere you would like to (it has like a 8 foot cord on it!) With school i havent been able to mount that mic but i was going to mount it right up by the visor and map lights. doing a rough test from there that was the best place to put it performance wise. Oh yeh and depending where you mount your radio you might want to get an external speaker because the person on the other line comes out of the radio speaker.
I thought of a cool way of hooking up my radio to my head unit radio so that way the sound comes out of your actual car stereo! That way you dont have to buy an external speaker
hope that answered your question!
