I recently installed this radio in my Toyota FJ Cruiser. I didn't want a hand held unit so I purchased this one. It has all the features one would need for any off-roading. I choose to mount the unit on the center console, passenger side. It is clean, easy to get to and not in the way of any passenger. I also like like the 10 NOAA channel feature. It comes in handy.
I did purchase a kit specifically for the FJ to complete this. I used a bandi antenna mount, firestik coax cable, super heavy antenna mount spring, quick release and 3' firestik adjustabe antenna.
For the price this is a pretty good unit.
 Nice useful features. Good entry level CB December 12, 2007

I purchased this CB because I did not want to spend over $100 dollars.(in case of theft) It has a scan feature which is great, but I agree with the previous post that you sometimes have to play with the squelch to get some channels(while scanning). Weather channels are nice and the overall appearance of the radio is modern and not 70'ish. Soundtracker must be selected every time you turn the radio on if you really want to clearly hear anyone.(as it automatically shuts off the feature when the radio is turned off). Almost inaudible without this feature. It also has an rear plug if you happen to place the radio inside the glove box or arm rest center console area, you can run an external speaker to where you want it.You can swith between emergency channel 9 and info channel 19 by the push of a button. The handheld mic feels "Cheap","hollow" and "bulky" in contrast to the rest of the radio. I placed in center console of 2005 F150 and fit perfectly. MOST IMPORTANT(GOOD CABLE,GOOD ANTENNA, LOCATION). 18' low loss coaxial cable. I originally bought 12' because i did not want alot of bundled up cable under the carpet but I had to end up buying 18'. I am using with a 4' Wilson FGT antenna and I am between 1.5-1.7 SWR. Very pleased with the general appearance,features and size of this CB. Thank you.

I wasn't able due to schedule to install this immediately, I suggest you take off work if you don't want to take off then I suggest purchasing a refurbished unit to start with I am on my second one that squeals when you key the mike I cannot return it to Amazon, because of the excessively long time it took to get it from Amazon and Cobra to return any correspondense telling me it was a radio problem I cannot return for a replacement Amazon says I can't ,I have to send it in to Cobra to get it repaired so I have a pair of brand new repaired radio's I could have purchased a refurbished radio a lot cheaper and got as good warranty else where INSTALL THIS IMMEDIATELY I am using a Cobra antenna on channel 1 I have 1.25 swr and channel 40 swr 1.25 it changes so little the eye cannot see it the antenna works great just can't say anything to anyone because the tranmitter just squeals I just today got this back 10-10-07 from Cobra does the same thing and now they started the same ole procedure I started in the first warranty claim BEWARE I am going to can this and mark it up as never buy cobra product again
