Posts: 79 Thanks: 6 Trader Rating: 0  | Connect NAV GPS antenna location Hi The Connect NAV on my Croma 2006 is out of order. I would like to replace it with a modern 2 din navigator/radio etc I would like to place the new GPS antenna in the same place of the old one...do you know where is it? I thought it was the one with the small ball in the middle of the dashboard...but the repair manual says that one is a solar sensor...

Posts: 79 Thanks: 6 Trader Rating: 0 | Re: Connect NAV GPS antenna location Originally Posted by g8rpi It's three antennas in one housing. The long whip sticking up is the AM/FM radio. The phone antenna is a short rod under the cover and the GPS is a ceramic "patch" under the flattened front portion. Robert. And also thank you for the ebay link! Unfortunately I'm thinking that is better if I find a used but working Connect Nav, because...the Connect also controls several functions (eg. the date and time on the instrument panel) and so I think I've no alternatives
