    Seeing the third gen section forced me to get a Ford...
    most people put it on top the dash in one of the corners, but i put mine behind the oh shit handle on the passenger side. i removed the a-pillar cover and ran it up and used the magnet to attach it right between where the screws are to attach the handle. i get 3/4 to full signal most of the time.

    I attatched mine directly to the top of the head unit. The signal is full strength even through the plastic dash. The antenna is out of sight and a clean easy install.
