Re: Where to put the GPS antenna?
I want to install a hidden FM antenna in my car and currently have two top location picks:
1. Inside the trunk lid. As close the the front as possible so that and heavy trunk shutting (I try not to let others close my trunk, the struts are shot and most don't anticipate how heavy it is) doesn't cause too much jarring. Since the lid is fiberglass it shouldn't block the signals too much.
2. Remove the plastic "garnish" piece that sits directly in front of the trunk lid and put the antenna on the inside of it. I haven't seen how much room there is in there though. I've also heard that placing an antenna within 1/4" of a metal "ground plane" is bad for the reception.
