Default GPS antenna placement
I have an 06 Z. It has an Alpine INA-W900 in it. Where is a good place to put the GPS antenna? Right now, it is all wadded up behind the stereo. The clock does not have the correct time and I am guessing it is because the antenna is not in the right place to receive a satellite signal. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just replaced my stereo and I put the new GPS antenna where the center speaker used to be. The speaker grill hides it nicely and I get good steady reception.

GPS is fine on top of AC vents. Sat radio needs to be up by center speaker.
