Uniden PRO520XL

Has anyone opened one of these up before? How many wires running to the faceplate? I Just ordered on and i am going to be combining these two ideas

I am going to be taking a 20 conductor (hopfully less) wire and extending the front panel and flush mount it in the headliner behind the console. Anybody have any ideas?

 

To put the faceplate on the roof you will need some long wires. My Cobra CB needed over 40 wires. Will your mic and cable be hanging down and swinging while you drive?

This video gives you a peek at the internals of the PRO250XL. It looks pretty basic. Shouldn't be too hard to re-locate the faceplate.

 

I know the wires are going to be suuuuuper long. Lol. I am going to open it and see how many there are then get a single cable with that many strands. And as for the mic situation, I'm going to put a hook on the back of the mic and put a small eye on the side of the over head console so to will hang on the eye, out of the way.
