    Navigation GPS Antenna location

    Hey gang! Does anyone happen to know the mounting location inside the dash of where the Navigation GPS antenna secures to? And NO, I'm not talking about the roof mounted antenna for the OnStar. WIS is completely useless and just says "Concealed in dashboard" and gives no instructions on how to replace or test it, which would reveal its concealed location. The antenna looks like this:

    Look at this thread, scroll down to the 9th post and it describes exactly what you need
    As far as I know the antenna is never concealed but I have no idea. Hope this helps!
    If its broken, I can fix it. If it already works, I can break it.

    Thanks, but no, that's Frank's aftermarket install. This is for the factory Denso system. The factory GPS antenna is concealed somewhere within the dash.

    I think I recall about reading of some sort of bracket that it is screwed to above and to the left of the head unit. You may have to remove the dash panel to get to it or at least the head unit cage. But you would have to replace that anyways.

    Did this nav head unit come with the connectors for the back? As far as I know, they are not the same as for the regular head unit.
