DVD Nav Question

[portmgr198]

Anyone know where the GPS antenna will be for the convertible on a C6?

Hi there,
As of this writing, location is still a bit of a mystery.
From what I have heard, it will most likely be on the rear deck, similar to XLR.
Remember, that the GPS for the DVD Navigation unit and the GPS for the Onstar will both be the same thing.
As a sidebar, the antennas on some applications are now are tri mode, meaning that they have the antenna for the GPS, cellular for the Onstar, and the XM radio all in one small antenna base.
Allthebest, c4c5

What about the Coupe GPS antenna? Is it that oversized thing stuck to the winshield next to the rearview? I hope it would be smaller and less intrusive.

I think you are incorrect on this one. I was told by my dealer that the GPS antenna is on the interior side of the windshield on the passenger side. The only externally mounted antenna was for XM Sat Radio.

That will be great. I hope so.
