Hi, I'd like to ask for those with factory navi system for your RX400H -- where is your GPS antenna located ? My car didn't have that option available. We do have an antenna to the rear right up on the roof, but I understand that's for FM radio.
We now have after-market GPS system installed and the reception is shaky, with the external magnetic antenna that came with sitting on top of the center speaker cover on the dash right now. It was placed there because we did not want to drill any holes in the car, and mounting the mag. base say to the front roof would definitely require drilling a hole.
But the weak reception problem is defeating the purpose of GPS.
If we knew how Lexus handled this problem, may be we can come up with a different route for mounting the antenna externally.
Any help would be appreciated~! Tnx. ')
