I haven't mounted a CB in the new XJ yet.  The more I think about it the more I am thinking that I am going to mount it on the back of the center council over the top of the ash tray.  I am thinking about doing this to keep it out of the way of everything.  I was going to run the mic. up and mount on the side of the coucil next to the passenger seat belt clip thingy (technical terms only ).  Any inputs?  The only problem I for see is that I will not be able to use the ash tray, and it will be a little inconvenient when turning CB on.
