its nice to have it turn on and off with the ignition, but every time you turn the vehicle off, your going to have to re-set the CB channel (which i found very annoying in moab and sometimes i would forget and miss out on conversation)

however, if it stays on all the time, then you have a chance of leaving it on and draining your battery.

so, let me know which way you would like to connect it and i will help you find a wire that will work
I think we should have it turn on/off with ignition, we'll just have to change the channel, no problem.

Here's our "plan": Remember this is weird locations on the left because I have to have it that way.
We got the mini piggyback fuse like Billy & Mark described. We're going to piggyback it on the lighter fuse, run the wire out the fuse lid, down the left kick panel, along left most edge of carpet by sill to connection box which will be mounted on the floor, (cut carpet on 3 sides to mount it) right next the driver's seat, on left. We'll tuck the cable the same route, with the mic/handset holder around the fuzzy hole area/ left of steering column.

I think the CB will go on/off with ignition if we use the cig lighter fuse, correct?

Decided not to worried about visibility of the connect box, and I can shove the handset under seat when I leave.

Seemed a pretty clear (read: easy) way to do all this....

Think it will all be OK? THe mini fuse can handle up to 30A.
