Message Well not hidden but quite far from obvious. I don't have a current pic of it, but the yellow highlighted area is perfect for those small antennas. Basically, you put it inside the cabin at the dead center of the vent panels. It's a nice square area with a line/groove right in the middle of the panel that makes centering easy. Tuck it way up there and you wont even notice it inside the car let alone from the outside. Crawl up there and take a look at how perfect a spot it is. You don't even have to remove any hard to get to panels because the cable can be tucked all along the dash/glass to the driver's side then down below the steering wheel and over to the stereo. All the antenna I've seen come with plenty of cable length for it.

Reasons I like it:
1) Best reception possible without being outside the car.
2) It looks like a factory GPS unit, temp sensor or something that belongs there. Stands out a lot less than my pic might lead you to believe. Test fit it there and see.
3) Symmetry =)

amount of stupid people and stupid logic that dominate Twinturbo.net today."
