So, I was wondering if anybody knew where you would mount the OEM gps antenna? It says here that it mounts on the roof.

When it says " GPS, Telematics " it is probably referring to the SOS Safety Connect system. If somebody could help answer my question that would be nice. Thanks in advance.

If you look at the illustration in the link I attached it does look like the " Shark Fin " antenna. Also, I do have the " Shark Fin " instead of the smaller antenna. I don't know if I have the GPS antenna. I know I do not have the navigation package, but most limiteds did come equipped with it. If you have the " Shark Fin " antenna, even if you do not have the navigation package, do you get the GPS antenna anyway? Many thanks.

That is what I bought. I did not need the internals on the shark fin antenna. Just swap the chip that came with my premium SE as you can see in my thread. Honestly, I don't even know for sure if any of those chips is a GPS antenna.
