    I am asking for some help with trying to figure out the location/installation options I have for installing the antenna for a Remote Starter. I have the Acessoride model that comes with the key fob {not the long range one}. I prefer to have things out of sight. What experiences have you had and where did you end up putting yours ? Thank you in advance for ANY help/suggestions/comments.Ant..jpg

    I believe they recommend top center of windshield.
    I put mine on windshield by mirror works great with great range.
    Mine is the 12volt long range kit. 2D17614D-D667-4097-A7C0-1FBA7B9A3D77.jpg

    wire runs in the a pillar and head liner.
    One in pic is dash cam.

    @Jeffch I like that idea, thnx for the pic and fast response. I am going to measure the cable and see if it is long enough to reach there.

    Out of curiosity, how come you went with that model as opposed to an option such as the N2 which doesn't have an antenna to hide?

    @RedWings44 I have an 2019 SR with no OEM remote lock/unlock, there are no buttons on my key. Does the N2 remote lock/unlock with remote start come with no antenna ? Thank you.

    I didn't realize that you had no fob. That makes sense.

    I know this is late but next to rear view mirror is where mine is installed as well. You have plenty of room running it behind the A pillar and across the roof line
