Default Navigation System

Does the Navigation System have an antenna similar to the XM radio or is it invisible?

I have XM, NAV and On-Star. There are 2 antenna’s, XM on the roof and the On-Star brick (about ½ size of a real brick) to the right of the rear view mirror. I think that the Nav antenna is in one or the other. Wife’s Acura has On-Star and Nav but no XM. Her antenna in similar to the roof mount. I’m inclined to say that Nav is in the roof mount. Anyone know for sure?

Can't be. What about ones ordered with NaV but no XM or Onstar?

Onstar antenna is "brick" behind passenger visor
XM is external on halo
GPS Nav is behind rear view mirror

Thanks Man. Now I am enlightened. Knew there had to be a Nav antenna somewhere.
