Avic-D1 GPS sensor location

For those of you that have installed this unit, where did you put the GPS antenna? I know some do the rear bumber... is it difficult to wire that far away? What kind of wire did you run and where did you run it? I thought I remembered someone locating it in the dash itself and it working... any ideas?

Thanks!

I did mine on the bumper bar. Ran the wire into the tub, along the side (passenger), down to the base of the seat, along the frame rail, up into and across the passenger footwell, and into the center stack. There is plenty of wire on the antenna lead to make the run -- no extending needed. And reception in fine.
