No, the antenna element must have a clear, unobstructed view of the sky. We recommend the top right hand corner of the windshield.

Your CD Changer wiring sources from the center console, most of the work is done for you. Simply route the cable to the glovebox, the HD DICE module is placed behind the glovebox.

Any other hints on the easiest and cleanest ways to install this.

Thanks

The HD DICE is too large for the storage bin in our installs, I would prefer placing the module behind the glovebox.
