In response to the original question of where to mount the satellite antenna, I was wondering if one could use the built in GPS antenna located in the center of the dash board adjacent to the wind screen.... may or may not work, and the cable terminations may need some work but if the car is fitted with the antenna and you don't have the GPS system it might be worth a try. I am not even sure that Porsche fits the cars that don’t get GPS with the antenna but I think they might. Are there any electronic engineers out there that can answer this question? Are the antennas that receive location information of the same nature as the antennas capable of receiving satellite radio broadcasts? I think the idea is worth looking into. Even if the GPS antenna won’t do the trick, this may be the best location for an adequate antenna. I like satellite radio for the access it provides to additional content not available over the air. Mounting one of those hockey puck antennas anywhere on the outside of my 02 S isn't going to happen....
