My GPS antenna is the factory sharks fin aerial as I have the MFD2 fitted as a factory option. If you are not going down this route (you would need to route the cable under the roof lining and down the windscreen pillar to the rear of the unit), I would recommend you put your antenna under the centre grille as 182_blue suggests. The antenna will see enough satellites through the windscreen glass to operate the unit effectively.

Cheers Cass! By the centre grill i take it you mean the grill above the unit? Will putting it under the grill effect it ability to get a signal or is it able to work fine from under there??

Don think I willl go the whole hog and get the shark fin ariel as it will be coming out next year when the car goes back.

[182_blue]

as in the pic i posted (below), mine has always worked fine, never an issue here

Cheers Blue! Thats where is shall be going 

Havent been this excited since i got the car! So many more buttons to push

Any idea if there is a manual for the unit online somewhere??

I put my GPS receiver behind the instrument cluster, this was advised on various fora as being the best position. Has worked perfectly for me sofar!

Cheers Bolle! I think im i just going to stick it behind there somewhere it should be ok! As long as it warns me about speed cameras I dont mind taking the long way round
