Default Removing Navi Antenna

I just took apart and removed my console to get my factory Navi out of my 07 C6. I have like 4 cables but not sure which is the GPS/Navi antenna. Does any 1 have any pics or can explain if I can even remove it?

It is such a PITA to remove that you might just want to leave it in.

If you are going to sell your OEM Nav, the replacement antenna is not too expensive. How much is your time worth?

And if you are installing a new aftermarket Nav, you can just put it's antenna on top of the AC vents.

Hope this helps.
