Can anyone tell me where the GPS antenna is located on a P38 Rangie that came with the factory navigation option? Also would anyone have any pictures of it handy?

Thanks

What year 38A? There are a few different styles of Nav. It depends on what model year. Are you having problems?

Well I am not really having any trouble. I have installed an Alpine navigation unit in my DiscoII, but I am having some antenna issues. My brother in law has a 2000 Range Rover with factory Nav, so I wanted to see how the antenna was setup in that vehicle. Both of these units are based on the Navtech system, so I wanted to see if there is a possibility of using the same type of antenna hookup on mine.

Thanks

It's on the right side under the cowl.

Do you mean right where the Nav unit itself is located? If so can you give me a small description of what the antenna itself looks like?

Thanks

The antenna on most rangies is actually in the trim panel between the windscreen and the bonnet (windshield and hood for American readers :-) !)

You should see a raised "bump" along there where is where the antenna lives.

The trim piece between the windscreen and the bonnet is called the cowl. Actually.
