Where to mount GPS antenna?
i'm going to be installing my D3 this weekend. it comes with an antenna to mount on the dash...with external antennas i usually unmount the a-pillar, and run the antenna from under the dash to the top. but the evo's a-pillar has an airbag...is it possible to unmount without triggering it? if not, what would be a good way to run the antenna up from under the dash to the top of the dash?

I have a Z2 in my X and just left the GPS antennae under the dash, a little behind and towards the left of the radio.
Have yet to have issues with reception and no ugly antennae (small as it may be) cluttering up the interior.
Did this on my Z06 as well with the same results.
Hope this helps.

You should do this anyway if you're installing electrical stuff, including audio equipment.
