In-Dash CB install
Hello..
My Jeep (2010) has the stock radio in-place. It takes up the whole space in the dash, as you all know. I read that a "standard" am/fm after-market radio measures "1 DIN". The space the original stock radio takes up is 2 DIN. Has anyone mounted an after market radio AND a CB in this space? If so, any photoss or ideas on how to mount both? How did you cover the "extra spaces", that may be left over?
Thanks, Lou

There won't be any space or open holes in the dash if you install a Single-DIN H/U and a CB. The front of the factory H/U is Double-DIN. The rear of it is larger than Single-DIN but smaller than Double-DIN. There is a metal brace that has ot be cut in order to fit a Double-DIN H/U. You would have to get a H/U mount bracket, Single DIN H/U and CB. After you remove the factory H/U you would cut the brace in the back of the dash and then install everything.

I installed both in the space of the OEM radio.
I was only able to find one CB that is 1 DIN in size (the Cobra 18WX). I ordered the new head unit and a double DIN dash trim from Crutchfield. The mounting was straight forward but you will need to remove the dash bar (the same piece the double DIN radio install state).

Did you just by a regular Double DIN mount? Cause when searching for the jeep it pulls up a single DIN, but there are Double DIN's for other vehicles... which one did you find that mounted well?
Thanks!
Thanks!

I have met with a couple of people who have a similar setup. Also, chatted with an advisor at Crutchfield that was able to make suggestions about the radios and accessories that worked well. They sell a, supposedly, easy to install bracket for a double DIN that should make it all fit easily with the right CB. I picked up a Cobra 18WX and am just waiting on the $ to get the stereo setup.
