I found this post searching for how to mount an antenna in the bed of my 2019 Silverado. I like the way you mounted your antenna. Could you provide some info Or pictures on how you routed the antenna cable from inside the cab to the bed?
 
Thanks,

Sorry for the late reply. The antenna cable is routed through a vent in the back of the cab.

I wish my High Country had that much room under the front seats.  With heated and cooled seats and all the other power I can barely slide my hand under there. So looks like the new Icom is going to go under the back seat!

My seats are power, heat, and cooled.. there is more room under the passenger seat.

Installed a kenwood tm-v71a into the 2018 LTZ. I'm really happy with how it turned out.

 

Mounted the remote head in the card holder area. Did some trimming of the rubber insert to set in the head. Used the kenwood remote mount kit to stick the bracket to the console under the rubber card holder. Wires run under the console to under the passenger seat.

 

The radio is under the passenger seat. Power is supplied by direct connection to the battery.

 

I routed the mic cable through a hole I drilled in the access panel at the bottom of the console. The mic will be stowed in the console until I want to use it. Then I can pull it out and route the cable through the notch and close the console on it.

 

I also installed a remote speaker at the front of the passenger seat.

 

The antenna is mounted on a bracket I made that fits in the stake pocket. Wire runs in through the vent and makes it's way under the to the radio under the passenger seat.

 

Cheers!
