I used silicon caulk to 'seal' my drink holder closed then screwed the CB Bracket to the drink holder door. The radio faces us making it is easy to see and adjust the radio, and with the mic mount mounted on the radio's left front (now top) you don't have to do a lot of looking-and-reaching. Also, with the antenna cord running under the driver's front seat then forward under the center console to the back (bottom of the radio) it is out of site (and the way). For power I hooked into AUX3 (again easy, from back of radio straight up then across to the AUX3 power wire, and out of sight).
