Where is the antenna?

Does anyone know if the roof antenna is the sat antenna or just terrestrial? I went from a pioneer nav in my tC and that thing would lock almost instantly... it would also keep navigation going (using what I believe is called dead reckoning) under the tunnels of Boston.

The subaru nav sucks. I sat in my driveway for 3 minutes this morning. It gets a signal, then as soon as a I make a 90 degree turn onto the highway, it's lost for the duration of my 25 minute drive. WTF.

I absolutely love this car. But the nav is awful. When it gets a signal, it works well, but I just don't know why it would take more than 30 seconds.

Anxious to see Crutchfield's writeup of the internal wiring and such.. may just drop one of the pioneer units in there but I don't want to have to re-install phone mic/usb/aux ports and sat. antenna.

-- oh, forgot to add... the nav traffic also does not work. It will say no issues, yet there will be stopped traffic/construction.. you name it. I've used a late model garmin with FM traffic and it actually does work.
