My GPS is mounted under the dash in the air vent for the top air (the vent right above the HU once you take the "cover" off ( I get 4 out of 5 or 5 out of 5 for GPS signal )

My GPS is mounted there along with my satellite radio. The gps works perfectly.

I have an after market XM tuner with one of those magnetic antenna things. I ran the wire out through the back seat and stuck the antenna to the hatch. It's under my pedestal spoiler and I never lose signal. If it works there, I'd imagine it'd work anywhere.

R/S of the dash 2" from pillar. Stock xm was in the middle of the dash. Removed that since XM sucks *****.

Bottom right corner of the windshield. I was at first worried about exposing too much sunlight to it but its been there for almost 2 years and its still fine.
