I have mine hooked to a 12v ( cigarette lighter ) plug. Below the steering column is a panel that pops down. I wrap up the wires and lay them in behind that panel , when Im ready to use the radio I just run the plug out and plug it in . The antennae coax is run down behind the kick panel and under carpet and is stored under seat. I have a magnetic mount, just pop it out the rear door and up on the roof.
