ALP GPS Antenna's

[991TurboS]

The manufacturers say to mount the antenna where it has a clear view of the sky. Whether that is actually required all the time I don't know, but I would guess they recommend that as a best location to sure it has a lock the most often.

I have searched this antenna on the web, and although the thought here is that the GPS antenna is not waterproof, all seller product descriptions I have reviewed says it is waterproof and can be placed outside and even used in Marine applications. I mounted mine on the inside on the dash, as I really do not want an ugly black wart on the outside.

Manufacturer: Locosys. Model LS 23036-G

Just pop off part of the dash panel and put the antenna inside the panel where the cars factory GPS antennas usually reside.

So the receiver can be blocked by plastic dash pieces and still function well? My stock GPS is on the back roof part of the car, not in the dash. If I can conceal the ALP GPS inside the dash, I will do so.

itll work fine behind the dash

not sure how your car is exactly but the shark fin on the roof is usually for satellite radio etc...GPS reciever (at least in my vehicles) is behind the nav unit in the upper part of the dash.

Maybe it is the satellite antennae and not the GPS.

I went ahead and mounted the antenna in the trunk area of the car, which in a 911 is the front. It is sitting under the black plastic cowling lining the bottom part of the front windshield, so it should get a good signal. It is a dry location.
