The easiest way would be to hook your hot to your battery, run that wire through the firewall into the passenger compartment, and run an inline fuse in the wire to your CB at some point (for a regular CB radio, five amps should be sufficient - for a converted 10 meter radio, such as a Connex 3300HP, you'll want to go 8 - 10 amps). Then you ground the wire to a bolt which you can complete a ground with.. you can use a DMM (digital multimeter) to determine where a sufficient ground may be found at.

You can also wire it into your fuse panel (the cigarette lighter is a commonly used one).

Look on the packaging or labeling on the hand-held. If it operates in the 27 MHz Citizens Band, then it's electrically identical to the ones in the car, and it can talk to all of them. If it operates in the 49 MHz Citizens Band, then it can't.

Where is the radio harness that you can hook your aftermarket radio into?

Usually when you get the radio the place you bought it will have a wiring harness that will fit the car. If not then go to a radio installation shop and ask for one. This will then plug right into the factory car harness and then you connect the radio to this harness. That's it. Good luck.
