Here is how I routed the GPS antenna. No Drilling or mods required and the cable and antenna is virtually 100% invisible to the driver and passenger.

I simply tucked it into the joints with a screw driver about 1/4" and it disappeared completely except for a short section that blends with the existing trim anyway, where it goes from the steering wheel to the left button pads.

You pull the two button strips out, undo the 4 screws holding the plastic vent/trim out a few inches and route the cable into the area behind the stereo unit and make the connection.



Just add some double sided tape to the GPS antenna and stick it to the dash behind the instruments.
GPS Antenna before the cable was tucked into the panel joints.



The Amp/ignition interference that I initially had with the speaker wires, went away once I taped (Black electricians tape) all the bare phono plug ends and other exposed wires.

They must have been touching each other or the chassis and picking up the interference. It sounds crystal clear now.

Just need to route the backup camera and finish the plastic trim above the radio.

The last thing will be to play with the WIN CE6 OS and see what software, logos etc I can add to enhance its use.
