    I'm trying to upgrade my current GPS to a new one and I need to run the GPS wire from the dash to the back shelf of the rear window to put the GPS antenna there.

    Right now I have the wire ran out the door gromets and up to the roof but I don't like the antenna being there right on top in the front..

    what is the best way to get the antenna to the back window?

    thanks

    If you want to follow the factory wiring path, take the driver's seat out as well as the sill plate and rear seat bottom, then go under the carpet near the existing harness' path. You might be able to fish something through with just that but will probably have to remove the seat top and loosen the shelf, or get in the trunk side and work from there. Only other shortcut I can think of is if you want to route it under the sill trim or edge of the carpet instead of removing the driver's seat. Seat removal is easy but they are heavy. There may not be enough wire to route it in the described location though.
