    CB Radio Install location in 4th Gen

    G'day. The lift-up lid immediately below the climate control panel in 4th gen. The one you push and then it pops up. Can you remove that entire section (my lid's broken anyway) and replace it with either a single DIN CB radio or a smaller one with a DIN adaptor like this? https://uniden.com.au/product/dmk7700/

      There's nothing back there (no DIN cage or anything) so it's a bit of a pain to put that particular radio in as it weighs a lot, lighter units you can just screw the DIN kits to the plastic at the front and leave. Mine I had to get a bracket fabbed up and mounted to support the weight of the radio.

      If you're buying a new radio I'd just get a remote head one and not bother personally. That space works very well as a switch panel or a spot for small gauges.

          Awesome thanks lads.

          If I got a remote head unit, do you reckon the main unit would fit under the dash or need to go somewhere like on the side of the transmission tunnel (vertically).

          Then I’m assuming you’d have to screw the remote head onto the top of the dash or something, rather than on a vertical surface of the dash.

          Thoughts?

          Yep it will be a brand new unit.

            I'm thinking I could also use one like this https://uniden.com.au/product/uh9080/


            Mount the unit vertically on the driver side of the transmission tunnel and mount the hand held component further up on the dash.

              I have an Icom unit with all the controls on the microphone. The base unit is tucked alongside the glovebox inside the passenger's end of the dash.

              See here for some more details.

                I seem to remember someone putting a unit under the centre console in between the front seats and powering it by tapping into the existing 12v socket wiring ...

                  There is thread showing mounting under the dash on top of the tunnel. I followed the instructions and mounted mine there. It's one with the controls on the hand set. I took power off the fusebox using a piggy back fuse. It's been there 4 years with no issue. I am going to buy a new Pajero next year and I am going to repeat that with a new radio.

                      I put a Uniden 5060 behind the centre console which uses a remote head unit which I have stuck to the dash in the same position as TC.Barkly above.

                      I put a wire through from the boot (with occasional 'gentle encouragement' via expletives) from the aux battery in case I accidentally leave it on so I don't drain the main.

                        I have a GME with all the controls on the Mic. The mic has an RJ45 plug on it so I put a Female RJ45 on the console and the unit is tucked away. I just plug in the mic when I want to use it.

                          As a quick fix in the bush I managed to run the antenna wire up the edge of the wing where it goes under the bonnet, then with a bit of squishing got it into the gap between the A pillar and the wing, then down the front door gap past the hinges, then round a little gap at the bottom of the door seal, then tucked up behind the glovebox and across the top of the tunnel. All secured with gaffer tape.

                            Was gifted this by an absolute legend of a bloke with connections. Since it has a speaker in the base and the handset, I think I’ll mount it in its slide mount on either the driver or passenger side of the transmission tunnel to maximise volume. That way I can also easily unplug and remove when the vehicle is used (and abused) as mum’s taxi.

                              Next question is where to mount the antenna he also got me.



                              I realise the higher the better, but failing that has anybody had any issues with a bullbar mounted antenna failing due to vibrations? I read a Prado owner on another forum saying he’d had multiple fail. The antenna is 1.2m.

                              Another option is a fold down roof rail or roof rack bracket. Rhino sell them.

                              Edit: surely there are thousands of bullbar mounted aerials that have not suffered from premature failure due to vibrations.
