route GPS antenna 2nd gen

Hi
Im installing a new HU with GPS. how where do i route/mount the GPS antenna? having hard time with it.
Thanks

 

anyone?

 

How long is the cable you're dealing with?

I don't have pictures, but there's several on this forum already. A few people mount it under the dash facing up-ward somewhere. I had a 1000' long cable with mine (crazy long). I re-terminated the end and left a 1 1/2' coil (to attenuate it a little bit) dangling behind the unit, and then double-sided taped it to the top of the HU.

Acquisition is fairly quick, but the HU's nav isn't my primary use, so I don't care too much for how long it takes. Signal is pretty solid, though.

I had mine under the dash in my past truck, and it worked fine, but acquisition is much faster with this spot.

 

Left mine under the dash and get full signal no problems

 

Mine is on to dash of passenger side...

 

Mine is in the corner on the dash driver's side.

 

exactly why I posted here. I want to see where everyone else has theirs

 

Gray Beauty has heres here...

 

are these plugs weather resistant?. how did u get guys get the cable thru on top of dash? I cane find an opening and dont want to tear apart the dash if possible.
and Thanks a lot for your responses. I do like where grey beauty has hers but would rather keep it inside(secure).

p.s. I must not know how to use it but I did try a search first and it came up with an install by toyota07 and did not include gps.

 

Mine is an inside antenna. I ran the wire under the dash to the A pillar molding gap.

 

This^^^^^

 

Recently installed new hu in the truck with navi, stuck the antenna up and in the dash, signal is good to go....nice and simple.

 

Under dash... full signal strength and fast acquisition ... why do anything more difficult or complicated.

 

mine sits on the dash inside the truck, no issues. see my build thread for pics
