Funny, I just *installed* mine a month ago when I picked up my car. It's part of the basic electronics package -- Valentine hardwire, speaker kit for cellphone and CB radio. Then comes eurolamps (on the shelf waiting for wiper washer, trim parts & paint). I was pleasantly surprised with the performance of the Uniden 520 in this car. Seems the Wilson 1000 is much happier as a permanent trunk mount than as a magnetic mount on the roof (had no choice on my Audi wagon...) CBs have saved my butt *many* times, and not just for bear notification. When I was coming home from college once, I forgot about one toll on the NY thruway and ate my toll money at McDonalds... So here I am, on the thruway, literally $.50 short of making it home. I begged the $.50 on the CB...no more than 5 minutes later I had cash in hand and was through the tolls with the directions to "pay it forward." It was a great lesson and I've been paying it forward in one way or another ever since... Lee '93 300D 2.5L 180K
