GPS Antena wiring

I'm going to be getting a Pioneer Avic f900bt which comes with a gps antenna. I know some of the older models had them as well and some people on here have the d3's and was wondering where did you guys run the wires for the gps antenna and where did you mount it?

Not sure what it is like, but my USB-based GPS ant runs down the tunnel under the carpet and pops up on the rear parcel self, barely visable at the edge and gets awesome reception there. Hope this helps.

the rear humina whaaaa??? sorry, lol when I think of the word parcel, I think of a package. do you mean the rear deck by the rear wind shield where the speakers are? can you elaborate on how you entered underneath the carpet and more specifically where you ran it??

Re: GPS Antena wiring

... yeah, pretty much.

It runs under the carpet under the Center Console, then under the rear seat, and then up behind the trim panel on the driver side (i took the whole panel off)... no need to remove the rear "speaker cover" , I just tucked the wire in with a screw driver ...watch out for the defrost lines, don't scratch em!

I'll try to grab a pic...

Re: GPS Antena wiring

as for myself i put it right on the dash, the wiring is hidden . makes quite a good job.
