I’ve been considering installing a dual band ham radio in mine.
If I do, my plan is to put a 2” piece of xPel on the paint and install a magnetic NMO mount.
all the controls in the mike, I had a similar unit a long time back in my jeep it was great cause it hid under my console and at the time you could buy a extension cable to put the plug in a discreet location. Drop teh mike in the door pocket when you don't need it.. I dont know how good these new ones are mad though.. .

I like your idea to keep the mic in the door pocket, very discreet. I saw someone mention they put their whole unit in there which could be nice too, a little hard to view/adjust though.

I'd do the mag mount but I have a feeling I'd hate removing it every time I go to put my car cover on. This is why I'm leaning toward bumperettes.
What's the ideal path to route the antenna to the roof/rear?
After reading this necro-bumped thread, I bought a handheld CB (Midland 75-822 + Cobra mag mount antenna). My drive to town is 75% without cell coverage but fairly regular traffic of log/dump trucks w/ CBs. I figure this a good backup comms solution.

I also do a good bit of driving without cellphone coverage so the CB feels like a great safety measure plus who doesn't love a smokey report.
From the roof the only option I've seen is through the sunroof then run it under the headliner and down the A column, similar to a rearview mirror mounted radar detector, I don't have a guide handy for that though sorry.
