Nicy that was as hard to do as pulling all the wires.

Yeah... now for the relocation of the antenna. I hope the mirror has enought room.
By the way, I got the clutch reservoir yesterday. Thanks

I found out that it works in the car on top of the dash.

Work to get it in the mirror starts Friday i have an invite to the consumer electronics show in LV this week.

Mikes SS · 01-07-2011, 07:17 PM

nice to see that you painted the cover of something that you don't need anymore LOL

2SSRS@Gen5diy · 01-07-2011, 07:55 PM

2SSRS@Gen5diy · 01-26-2011, 09:09 PM

So today i mounted the antenna in the passenger outside mirror it works but i need to find a way throw the door and puller on the passenger side, If some one can help let me know.

I know you have it done already, but wouldn't of it been easier to mount it under the front dash?

Could it get signal through the dash pad?

2SSRS@Gen5diy · 01-31-2011, 09:34 AM

I had it siting on the dash, If i was driving north it did not work, Its like you TV dish line of sight, The roof of the car gets in the way when the antenna is on the dash so i think in the dash is worst, I am hoping to have it done any day need some connectors and there on order.

But its in the mirror now.

Does the stock wiring have enough cable length to make it to the mirror? Or would I need to add my own to it?

2SSRS@Gen5diy · 01-31-2011, 10:27 AM

LOL, yes but you need to remove it from the bundle, Start at the end and work it back.
