should be able to just stick it on top of the receiver. unlike XM the gps doesn't need a straight view of the sky. as long as their is no metal plate above it you're fine. toyota for one actually has the factory spot in the trucks behind the cluster
if you have one of the cool magnetic ones just place it on top of the nex when you install it, this method works well in 99 out of 100 cars. keeps the antenna hidden and it's beyond simple
