Hello All,
I just ordered a Uniden 510 CB radio, a Wilson 4' flexible antenna and a 12' cable to go along. Before I install all of this, would you guys give me some recommendations please?
My plan was was to mount the antenna to the tail light with a DIY bracket, run the cable somehow to the front and mount the radio to the center console sideways, on the the driver side. The power wires I was going to run to the cigarette lighter.
What is the best way to run the antenna wire from the tail light?
Did you guys make your own bracket for the mounting of the radio to the console or bought one?
Is it better to wire the radio directly to the battery (will I get the engine static if I wire to the cigarette lighter)?
Thanks
