Check out pics of my new Alpine/Uniden install on my other thread:

Much better than the original stock head unit.

 

good job there..

 

Why not the 18 WX ST II Mobile CB which is about the same size? Why the Uniden 520XL? Did you install the PA? Going to do a write-up? What did you pay for that sucker, new or used? Sorry, I was going for 20 questions but only got this far!

 

Used the Uniden b/c I had it on hand and didn't want to buy another CB. Had the Uniden originally installed on the dash under the ignition, so I bought it for size. I like the unit still so I used it. I bought it new from a local shop last year for about $110 incl. tax, so a little high but not too bad. Didn't take any pix when I did the install, and Circuit City did the Alpine install, so they left the bottom slot open and gave me a plastic panel for the CB to fit through. I wired it to the power plugs so it turns off with the ignition, and attached it to the bottom of the Alpine with double-stick foam tape. Works great and is much better than any other install I've done so far.

 

could just be my monitor, but whats the model # on that alpine unit? how much did it cost?

im looking for a replacement for my factory deck at the moment...

 

Its the CDM-9801, on sale at Circuit City for $159 including install. Here's a link:

I like the unit, but am going to look for the adapter so I can hook up the diversity antenna as well as the main antenna.
