That would drive me nuts. I keep my keychain unclutterd and short because I can't stand having stuff laying on my leg while I'm driving.

I am thinking about making a little cover for all the wires and covering it with some black speaker carpeting, but that will probably be when I am super board and need something to do

Wal Mart in the fabrics section. You want the Industrial Strength Velcro. Be careful though, Texas summer heat will melt the glue and drop your radio on you...

The rubber pad in the tray on top of the dash lifts out, and I put it in away for safe keeping. I then drilled a 1" hole at the back of the tray to run all the wires down through; tapped into the radio power and ground wires.

When I took the CB out, I simply spray glued the rubber mat back down. To look at the dash, you could never tell there had been a radio up there.

If you have a after market single din radio you can do what I did and mount in a compatible size cb in with the headunit.

Radio shack also carries some very strong velcro. It's what I use to mount my camera on the outside of my motorcycle when running at the racetrack. Normal velcro came right off with the vibration and high speed wind.

I simply mounted mine to the left side of the glovebox. I thought about it for weeks, but could not find a place that it was close and out the way. All I need to get to is the power switch and it isnt that bad at all.

I ended up putting my linear under the back seat close to the frame by the jack. Way to far for a jumper in my opinion, but with the stupid bench seat and interior arrangement there is not much you can do.

I actually got it from The Home Depot. Its some sort of outdoor heavy duty velcro like 3$ tops.
