Not many options that I really saw. This is what I did, the cord is annoying so I just unplug the mic and keep it in the center console when I'm not using it.

always try the search toolbar, ive posted my setups in at least 3 different threads like this lol. my favorite spot is on the right side near the shifter then run the power wires behind the dash. super easy install and good spot to mount. some do up near rear view mirror.

I've blocked off the heat and installing exhaust fans lol I placed it here because it won't get wet there when I go Muddin' I haven't made the front piece yet but my top pice with the first fan is almost done and there are going to be 2 smaller CPU fans on the inside to create air flow

This is the top piece with the first fan it's big red and it has an led strip on the inside, I hooked it up to the battery just to see and it looks cool the top piece is to go over the piece I cut out of the dash lmao

It didn't have to be cut out that
Much for the cb to fit but I'm trying to creat as much air flow as possible because the wind shield vent is still there

This is how I blocked off the air vent, you do not have to do both sides just this side and becarful only blow it in straight down and up, you don't want that stuff to get in the heating system
