Hi guys, anyone fitted a cb to a 56 plate scannia r420.
Any help would be appriciated. Thanx
If its any help I just stuck a mag mount on and ran the coax through the sun roof everything else is there and saves drilling holes. 
I’m fairly sure there is 12v already supplied to the spaces above your head next to the tacho… then just run your co-ax through the door rubber to a mirror mount. MAKE SURE IT IS 12V THOUGH…

An easy way to check if it’s 12v/24v is to connect the wires to a 24v break light bulb.
If the light is dim, it’s 12v.
Mag mount is the way, you get a far stronger ground. There is usually a 12v socket in all Scania’s from what I remember.
Not fitted one in a while BUT
there usual is a 12v source beside the radio and a section of co-ax and if you go to the front of the roof there should be a rubber gromet witch holds the other end of the co-ax you will need to put PL Plugs (think thats what there called ■■?) on it to conect .
One thing I would say is it all depends on what antenna you intend to use.
If you intend to put out a good powerful signal, you’ll need to use a decent whip, all of which are too long in my opinion to put anywhere other than the back of the cab, using a mag-mount or drilling a hole.
