CB radio was created by adam
Hi all,

I am wanting to fit a cb radio. nothing fancy just something basic. Iv seen a few on ebay for a cheap as £40. I have already bought a bracket to attach the aerial to the spare wheel. but im just wandering, how are they powered? can I plug it into the cig lighter? also the cable that runs from the aerial to the cb, do i drill a hole in my back door for it? bit confused really so any help would be good! :)

Mine is wired up to a cigarette lighter plug, makes it easier to remove.

The aerial wire is just sticking out the back door, didnt drill any holes or anything, fits between the seal ok. My aerial is on a magnetic base on the roof of the car.

depends if you want to remove the cb say at night etc, you would need a ciq lighter power thingy, like a incar phone charger has, mines just wedged in the power input at the back of the ciq and earthed on a earthing bolt under the dash, hope that makes sense

thats the one ive got, but ive got a spare wheel bracket mounted mount... errr touch twister :lol:

all depends where your mounting the ariel, mag for the roof rather than drilling into the roof, you could use a roof bar mount, all depends where you want it
