My solution (E34):
Cobra HH75: An all-in-the-mike setup, except for a very small
antenna/power junction box (about 1"x 1"x 2") with a tiny pre-amp (I
think) and an external speaker socket in it. Full-featured radio (new
noise reduction technology, channel memory buttons, weather band, dual
channel monitor, etc., etc.)
Antenna: K40. Super antenna. Long, base loaded whip with mag or trunk
lip mounts available.
Inatallation: My antenna is trunk lip mounted (the mag mount is BIG)
centered on the forward edge of lid directly behing center brake light
(easy: two allen screws). Antenna is quick disconnect (bayonet) type
and fits easily in the trunk when I'm not using the CB on the road (a
nice cap for the antennaless mount is available). Antenna cable
threaded out of trunk near front of right rear wheel well to under the
back seat (a bit of a pain, but doable) and attached to the small
antenna/power junction box mentioned above. Power tapped directly from
battery (some say this reduces engine noise) which is also under the
seat. Placed junction box in empty space inboard of battery with short
pigtail and cannon plug emerging from under seat bottom over drive
shaft tunnel.
Operation: Attach CB to pigtail and you're in business. The coiled
mike cord easily reaches from the back seat along the console to the
front seat. I just lay mine on the console to the right of the
shifter. Works great!
Enjoy.
