Sat Nav - mid Atlantic
But which aftermarket head unit? I have the same problem and am trying to make up my mind between Alpine, Kenwood and Pioneer.
Re: Sat Nav - mid Atlantic
Looks like the GPS antenna wire goes directly to the headunit. It *seems* to unplug at the aerial itself, but nowhere in between.

Re: Sat Nav - mid Atlantic
hmm, i doubt that Shop, cant see them routing a entire cable with an arial attached through the car, i reckon it some either down the passenger C pillar or around the back of the Media units in the boot.

Re: Sat Nav - mid Atlantic
Yeah, it seems unlikely, but the wiring diagram shows no breaks like it does for the GSM for example. The latter is routed behind the wheel arch trim in the boot. No doubt the GPS aerial goes through there also.

It's pretty easy to get to. Start by removing the boot floor panel and the rest is obvious.

Re: Sat Nav - mid Atlantic
wow, thats a mess.
ok will have a look see tonight.im sure ive seen the arial connection up there whilst messing about with the Jukebox Media HD, be good to know if its there and if i can change over to the C6 one and then use a GPS puck behind the dash or something.
which GPS puck is the one to go for? is it in the FAQ's?

Re: Sat Nav - mid Atlantic
I believe the RNS-E has a FAKRA connector on it. Why don't you just get a new puck and put it in on top of the glovebox?

Re: Sat Nav - mid Atlantic
I think you misunderstand. The aerial isn't visible. It's still inside the car. Just a puck on top of the glove box, but under the dash.
Or run it to the front bumper like I did:

Re: Sat Nav - mid Atlantic
Quite. You might have noticed that I've got on extra PS2 stuck on the front bumper to help with cornering.
