My wifi antenna is behind my head unit. Works just fine there. A lot of work putting it in the overhead for little to no benefit IMHO.

I had my ABS unit repaired in North Hollywood, CA. They charged me $150 or so and I shipped it to them and they back to me. Mine did the same thing but it was my right front sensor that kept showing an "open circuit"...and it wasn't always on...sometimes in the morning it would not be on but after a short time driving (and I'm assuming it getting warmer) it would come back on. The remanufactured ABS has been problem free.

Finally got tired of repairing the OEM taillights every 3 months. Replaced them with aftermarket units from eBay. Pleased with the appearance. Not too difficult an install. Had to tweak the aftermarket plug blades a little to make them connect to the vehicle harness.
