breto33 Posted September 3, 2015 Has anyone added a cb type antenna to their NV passenger? I am curious if there is an easy way to run the antenna without having to drill into the body to make a hole to run it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Decades Posted September 4, 2015 I use a Wilson "Little Will" magnet mount, with the cable routed down the front edge of the window that opens behind the driver on Passenger models, bringing the cable through the bottom so the window can still be shut and shed water. Not noticeable, but I stow the antenna assembly in the compartment to the passenger's side of the rear door opening. The magnet base and a few rags keep it from making noise.I never have a passenger directly behind the driver's seat since a car seat is in the space next to it, but once the cable is inside I route it behind the driver's seat and up along side.

Chris_CommercialManager Posted September 4, 2015 I was going to say, just use a magnet mount. If not I don't really know of a very good spot. You usually want to mount it on metal. Only thing real logical is the body if i were doing it. Can't do rear bumper either. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
axulsuv Posted September 5, 2015 Possibly on the left front fender , mimicking the stock radio antenna on the right side . lots of room there and then your coax can come in thru the firewall . If I was gonna go for a permanent mount , that's where i would start ...Glenn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
breto33 Posted September 21, 2015 I have a magnet mount antenna, my question is where to run the wire itself i dont see any place in the firewall to do so. There are some plastic caps covering blots in the door jambs, but no where to get the cable through to the interior. I need to be able to use all of the seats, and I have my unit mounted on the dash, so i cant run an antenna from the rear. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ambulock Posted May 17, 2016 Still trying to find something not magnetic due to high roof, and don't want to drill. Any other ideas.? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
radin2son Posted May 18, 2016 Like your set up and graphics on your NV in the photo gallery. Can you use the area near/on the left mirror and run the wire through the door where the mirror is located? Sort of the trucker look, unless it has to be mounted on metal.

Ambulock Posted May 18, 2016 Hey, radin2son, Thanks. I don't think that will work the way I want it to. I have been giving a lot of thought to putting the trunk lip mount on the hood opposite the radio antenna. I may have to cut the lip down slightly.

radin2son Posted May 18, 2016 Curious. Why CB? No cell coverage or do your clientele use CB? You and Axulsuv are on the same wave length, so to speak. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
