I'm also curious since those all seem to be for '07-10 jeeps.

X2 for mounting the radio in the glove box and handle using cool tech's dash mount.

Edit: click the second link and go to the end of the thread for pics of the 2011+

I wasn't aware of the possibility of mounting the Cobra 75's box in the glove box area so I mounted it inside the rear panel of the center console of my '11. (the panel above the rear cup holders, have to unbolt the armrest and pop the rear panel off. Then hard wired it to the cig lighter that's inside of the center console) Thinking '11 & '12 interior are the same so that's just another spot where you could mount it.

Also for mounting the mic, you could checkout cool tech and look for their (I think it's the) versa mount 2 for '11 & up JK. It mounts to the oh crap handle on the dash on the passenger side.

I didnt buy the mount or have to cut the connector hole below the glove box, I simply ran the cord behind the dash and out. Works perfect.

That's a good idea!

I just did mine today. I mounted mine under the steering column as well. Zip tied the remote box on the metal plate behind the lower panel under the steering wheel. The panel had a spot ready made for the 75's connector to come through. Came out very clean.

Ran the antenna line back to a firestik molded mount on my license plate bracket.
