Thanks

thank guys. this thing has such a long chord I could stick it on my eisenmann, haha.

I think I found a place for now. I have it on the back-window deck where the rear window meets the C column (driver's side). I tucked the wire from there along the side of the car trim. With black interior pieces and tint, not noticeable as all.

I refused to put the GPS hardware in a visible area.

I put mine between the headliner and the windshield, right by the light cluster. Works without issue and it's hidden.
