CB at least here in Australia usually means/meant 27Mhz which is essentially dead. Now replaced by UHF. Basically All trucks here have UHF radios and most 4wds that are used as 4wds rather than just SUVs have UHF. Used by clubs and groups for vehicle to vehicle communication, used commonly off road with a spotter with a handheld giving directions to the vehicle on tricky bits of track and on the highway particularly on narrow outback roads ro communicate with the trucks for safe passing etc.
Makes perfect sense - be interesting to see the Grenadier kitted out with UHF!
Fantastic, and now I am almost sure what happened to my car concerning the wiring mistake: INT1 and EXT2 switches are inverted, in fact the connectors were inverted! They have the same color: blue! Quality control issue!
I can see a good spot to put a slim UHF, where the 2 parallel wires run in the centre of the panel
Unfortunately I didn´t measured the gap, but give it a try.
That would be fantastic
Thanks a lot for the explanation. If my dealer doesn't do the switch correction next week, I'll play around with it when I get my car back.
A bit of a side question-do you think there’s A power source there that could be easily tapped for a self dimming mirror?
Nice job there, nevertheless. I was waiting for someone to dare taking that thing apart.
I was thinking to use one of the footwell kick-panel power feeds. You still have to run it up the A-pillar but that shouldn’t be that much trouble?
This is the easier way. But for the videosystem for my kids i toke the power source from the cig-lighter in the middle, so it was no big deal to connect the dashcam there also.
