The Tom Tom does have an external GPS antenna if you want to fit the unit somewhere that does not have a clean signal, but fortunately the lid does not affect the signal at all. No other wires are needed which has made this a very easy addition to make.

The unit has a built in speaker so i have not had to worry about connecting to the factory stereo either.
