Rocinante Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 Hello, I just purchased an 8200NEX, and I am installing it myself. I got to the part where I am supposed to install the GPS antenna. However, the antenna base is not magnetic. Is this a faulty part or is this common now with the newer units? Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mine was installed on the dash inside the car. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, they included it. I ended up just attaching a small magnet to the antenna and installed everything on a metal bracket on the inside part of the dash. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
