I have a Cobra 29 mounted just under the climate control center on my lower dash in my 99 F150. Grounding is straight to the battery. I have a 60/40 bench seat so I could not do the center console option.

Ya i dont want to drill any screws into the dash or panels. I have some brackets to try. And for the grounding i mean for the antennas.

My 102 is mounted on the ladder rack. I have the tool box and ladder rack grounded to the bed with ann additional lead running to the mount for insurance reasons.

The photos may give you some ideas.
