Antenna, Navigation: Description

Refer to ANTENNA, SATELLITE, OPERATION . In vehicles equipped with the navigation system, but not equipped with the optional satellite audio feature, a dedicated navigation antenna module (1) is used.
The dedicated navigation antenna module is located near the top of the instrument panel base trim, concealed behind the instrument panel center bezel. The navigation antenna module has a stamped metal mounting flange (2) that is secured to the instrument panel base trim by two push-in plastic fasteners.
