I have a cobra 19 ultra III its a small radio and I want to put it in my 97 ram. I got a cigarette plug for it. But where do I run the antennae wire without drilling any holes.

Go through the firewall, into the engine bay and underneath the truck to the back.

I have got a mount for it on the front left of the hood. I run the wire into the engine bay, through a hole in the firewall (already there from manufacturer) and under dash and to the radio at the center console area.

It's on the left side of the brake booster on the firewall, large black rubber piece.
