Where to mount a CB? (W123)
...because the search function ignores the word "CB."
For the folks who have them in 123s, is there a handy place to put them? Maybe instead of the ashtray?

I have mine mounted on the passenger side console. It's within easy reach of the driver and doesn't seem to bother the passenger.

I don't think I've even seen a CB in 25 years, are they still around?

Better than cell-phone when SHTF. For example, CB'ers were the only people knowin what was going on with Hurricane Katrina. Also better than radar detector for detecting speed traps.
Mounted my Galaxy 66 w/SWR antenna tuner & meter on passenger side of console hanging sideways.

Talk about embracing the 70s...my handle back then was the Blue Baron for our '74 240D which, not coincidentally, was midnight blue.

I wanted to put one in the 240D, never got around to it.
I still have one that would work in the Jetta just fine. Not sure if I have an antenna of any sort, but in the worst case, you can still to go Radio Shack (or a hamfest) for these things. I agree with most of the posters above. If you can get around the foul language and buffoonery, then CB is the best way to spend time in traffic, find out about cops, find the best way through construction and make it to where you are going (I've heard people getting directions over CB sometimes...) Makes me want to get out my 2m rig and listen to that on the drive (instead of the $13/m sirius radio) -John

I had a CB or two in the late 70's when I was first driving. Back then me and my buddies all had them. It was the "cell phone" of the time. We were always within range of each other and it was a really fun way to communicate at the time. We needed to know where the babes were.....
  Ha!Now I will spend the rest of the night trying to figure out my best friends handle. I had a '77 Trans Am and he had a '70 Mach I. {wishes he had kept that one!}. I was Rubberband Man {hey, it was the 70's  } and double dog dang I can't remember his handle.Off to ponder... Off to ponder... Off to ponder...

This is making me remember another device that was popular in the 70's:

OK, my dad used to play with them in the 70s; I don't know much about them and assumed that they pretty much disappeared when cell phones came out in the 80s.

I assumed they got outdated as well. I remember how popular they were in the 70's. My aunt and uncle each had one in their vehicles and one in their house. I always thought the "handles" people used and the code they spoke in was cool.
So has the CB atmosphere changed? It seemed back in the 70's there was lots of joking around and pranking. My cousins and I would mess around with the house unit and everyone we came across would talk and tolerate us (I was 8 and the oldest in the group).
