RFI CDX3000-B-Toyota-BHMB-511 CDX-Treme Compact UHF CB Antenna with Bonnet Hinge Bracket for Toyota Prado 150 2019+ LHS
The CDX3000-B-Toyota-BHMB-511 is a complete UHF CB antenna and mounting bracket kit combining the RFI CDX-Treme compact collinear antenna with the BHMB-511 bonnet hinge mounting bracket. Designed for the Toyota Prado 150 (2019+) left-hand side bonnet hinge, it operates on 477MHz with a 0.6m overall length, 10W power rating, and 5m RG58 coaxial cable terminated with an FME female connector.
Product overview
The RFI CDX-Treme is a compact ground-independent collinear UHF CB antenna operating at 477MHz, designed for vehicle installations where a full-length antenna is not practical. The 0.6m overall length and spring base mount provide a lower profile than standard UHF CB antennas while maintaining omni-directional coverage and vertical polarisation for reliable communications performance.
The BHMB-511 bonnet hinge mounting bracket is Australian made from 4mm mild steel with a matte black finish, designed specifically for the Toyota Prado 150 (2019+) left-hand bonnet hinge position. In Australian vehicles, the left-hand side is the passenger side. The bracket provides a secure, vehicle-specific mounting point without requiring drilling or permanent modification to the vehicle body.
The antenna connects via a 5m RG58 low loss coaxial cable terminated with an FME female connector. A UHF male adaptor is also included for direct connection to radios with a UHF female input. The black antenna whip and spring feature a subtle blue band at the base, a detail specific to RFI's CDX-Treme range.
Features and benefits
RFI CDX-Treme compact collinear at 477MHz: The CDX-Treme operates on the 477MHz UHF CB frequency band with a compact 0.6m overall length, providing a lower-profile alternative to full-length UHF CB antennas for vehicles where height clearance or aesthetics are a consideration.
Ground-independent design: The CDX-Treme is a ground-independent antenna, meaning it does not require a ground plane for correct operation, making it suitable for bonnet hinge and other body-mounted positions where a ground plane is not available.
BHMB-511 vehicle-specific bonnet hinge bracket for Toyota Prado 150 2019+: The BHMB-511 is Australian made from 4mm mild steel with a matte black finish, engineered specifically for the left-hand bonnet hinge of the Toyota Prado 150 (2019+) for a secure, vehicle-specific fit without drilling.
Left-hand side fitment: The BHMB-511 bracket in this kit suits the left-hand side bonnet hinge of the Toyota Prado 150 (2019+). In Australia, the left-hand side is the passenger side. In the USA, the left-hand side is the driver side.
5m RG58 low loss coaxial cable: The 5m cable length provides sufficient reach from the bonnet hinge mounting position to the radio inside the vehicle cabin, with low loss construction to maintain signal quality across the cable run.
FME female connector with UHF male adaptor: The cable terminates in an FME female connector, with a UHF male adaptor also included for direct connection to radios with a UHF female input, covering both FME and UHF radio connector configurations.
Bottom fix spring base: The bottom fix spring base with large nut and star washer provides a secure antenna mounting point on the bracket, with the spring allowing the antenna to deflect on impact and return to position.
Omni-directional coverage with vertical polarisation: Omni-directional horizontal beamwidth ensures consistent UHF CB signal coverage regardless of vehicle orientation, with vertical polarisation matching standard UHF CB base station antenna configurations.
Australian made bracket: The BHMB-511 bracket is manufactured in Australia from 4mm mild steel, confirming local engineering and quality construction suited to Australian conditions.
