I have my antenna sitting just beside the tweeter on the right hand side of the dash. I ran the wire through the tweeter grill, behind the glove box to the center console where the power and aux plugs are.

*EDIT* here are the pics

here is my setup:


as for location of antenna, i located mine right in the little rain gutter right above the driver door, i ran the wire down the gasket down the side of the windshield, then under the hood, there is a small hole going through to the door jam i attached the antenna wire to a wire hanger and poked it through then zip tied it up under the dash, into the console then up infront of the shifter and to the unit.

hope that helps. looks and works great.
