How did you route your coax cable from that location into the cab?

You can see the coax sticking through the grommet. I poked a small hole through the outer rubber and was able to fish the wire through.

Thanks! I was thinking of going that route but wasn't sure about poking through the grommet. Do you get any leaks through there? I'll go that way but just didn't know if I need to seal it up at all

I haven't noticed any leaking, but I have only had it in there for a couple weeks. I don't expect any problems. I only made the hole big enough for the wire. I've done similar things on other vehicles with good results.

UPDATE:
I finally was able to get some time to cut into the center console behind the top shallow pocket between the two cigarette lighter/12V supply. Nothing was behind there and was just a support for the shallow pocket. I cut it back and was able to fit my Midland 1001LWX which is about 8" deep. I did have to cut down the right side wall of the shallow pocket since it tapers inward as it goes back. I'll post some pictures later.

Here are the pictures:
First one shows how there isn't anything there when I cut out the first part. Second shows the opening I had to make to fit the CB. Third shows the modification to the pocket bezel to get the depth. Final one is how it looks installed

Where'd this pic come from? I swear it looks like an install i did on a work truck I had. I would have been sometime between 2005-2009 when I did it.

Honestly I couldn't tell you. I think I just googled it
