Hi ,
I recently bought a 2006 with navigation. I was wondering , from where the GPS signal comes ?

I see a little camera kind of thing on the Wipers and was wondering if it is the signal catcher ?

Thanks

The factory NAV system has its GPS antenna installed inside the dashboard, just below the great big plastic piece that covers the top of the dash. The GPS signals easily penetrate the windshield and the plastic top of the dashboard.

It's been awhile since I've looked at the pictures in the service manual. I distinctly remember that the antenna is at the top of one of the "humps" in the dashboard. But I can't remember for certain whether it's directly on top of the instrument cluster or on top of the nav display. I think it's above the nav display, right in the center of the dash.
