GPS Metal Pad/Sheet Part Number ? — AVIC411 Forum Archive

Posted Jun 24, 2009 · 15:08 UTC#1

I've searched AVIC411.com and I've looked in my Installation Manual and Owner's Manuals and I cannot find the part number for the metal pad/sheet with the adhesive backing.

Does anyone know what it is ?

Thanks,

I'm not sure, but I will say that it was not needed in my install. I just placed the GPS on the top rear of my headunit. Headunit's metal, GPS is magnetic. Voila.

I get "Excellent" GPS signal from under my dash, since it's just a piece of plastic.

My antennae (GPS, Sirius & XM) are installed on the rear carpeted deck of my Lexus. I'm just waiting to finalize my install as soon as my RAAmat & Ensolite arrive.

To echo what they said, I didn't use mine either. The GPS antenna is on the dash in the corner, right next to my XM antenna. Works perfectly fine, as it has in any other vehicle I've installed in this manner.
