Will this hold a radio and a CB radio in the dash of a 2001 Ford Ranger Edge?? Not sure where/how to install the CB.

Sounds like you may be stacking them together and putting both in this dash kit. I'd guess that if both of them stacked together is equal to or less than the size of a double din radio then you should be good. However, you'll have to MacGyver something to hold them together in the dash and keep them from falling out of the hole.

If you have no inside access this will not work for you. You need the type of antenna that has a swivel mounting bracket on the bottom that turns straight up and down and once you get it the hole it turns horizontal catching the inside of the fender. You still have to plug the coax in before you try and mount it. Then a nut goes down over the top of the antenna and tightens down against your mounting surface.

The most obvious place to mount is on top of dash where you can see the unit easily. Most radios are to small for this unit to be installed.

Donnie, NO this will only hold compact CB's, like the Uniden 510. Thank you!

you have to mount it somewhere. i mounted mine on the dashes lower panel. it will not replace the radio because it is just a monitor. hope this helps.

Robert, This mount will only hold compact CB, it will not hold any full size CB. Thank you!

most radios will fit. I don't know the dimensions but of the dousing but I put several different radios in it and all fit as long as you have the cover/ dash mount plates for the radio

I think any would work...my radio had one with it all ready...but you mount the radio to the dash peace first then install it...This kit comes with everything you need just be warned I had to some plastic away inside my dash to get it to fit.

Install a CB in what? That is a incomplete question Joshua there are many ways a CB radio is used. I suggest you use the Web and ask in CB radio blogs or look through some youtube videos. So with out more information we cannot help you.

I don't know the answer to that question. We bought this for a Ford Ranger pick-up, and a friend of my dad's installed it for me. He does this professionally. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

No drilling necessary. The antenna has transmission line ("coax") already attached to it - I forget the exact length, it's about 15 feet...with a common CB antenna connector at the end. The connector is called a "PL-259", it's cylindrical and measures between 0.720" - 0.730" (a trifle under 3/4") at the widest point. You can easily pass this through a window, but you might want to consider feeding the coax transmission line in around a weatherseal on a tilting window or hatch. The coax is about 1/4" diameter and most hatch-style windows easily close and latch over it without damage. The base of the antenna is magnetic, and does a very good job of holding the antenna in place. I mention this because I read somewhere Ford is introducing aluminum body trucks, hopefully nowhere we need antennas. Magnetic mounts won't work on aluminum.

You will either need an adaptor to go from your cars harness to the radio's harness or you will have to cut and splice. Also many of the newest cars need adaptors for the antenna wire. Finally with most cars you need an adaptor to install a stereo in the dash opening. Everything you need should be available on Amazon. If you need help figuring out what you need though, Crutchfield may be a better place to order from. They will help you get everything you need.HTH

Should work. Check to make sure your radio is the 3 pin type. There should be 2 pins closer together and 1 farther apart. This is pretty much standard of all the CB's from the late 80's to present. I have seen a few with dual pin plugs or three pin plugs that was equally spaced but they a very easily identified as such.

Good question. I know the CB portion will work. It is one of the best I have ever had and very easy to tune, but as far as the AM and FM bands, I don't know. I am pretty sure you have two coax cables coming out of your radio. One for the standard radio and one for the CB. I probably did not help you.

I placed them in my ranger the wires were ok with some thought of where to place the control box , I put mine under the passenger seat.

If you mean a plug for the power/cig outlet then it's easily doable. That's how I wired mine up. I added an extra constant outlet to the center console for power. Allows me to completely remove the CB out of vehicle when not needed. I just coil the antenna cable under the seat.

My truck came with a radio/cd player. The holder fits right in the cd slot. Unless there are rubber lips where you put the cd in, I'm sure it will work.
