That piece installs around the head unit. You can see it at the top of the cutout in this photo: http://image.automobilemag.com/f/rev...cement.JPG.jpg
Photo originally from this article: http://www.automobilemag.com/reviews...anuary_update/ I couldn't find that in any of the parts diagrams though. It might be considered part of the display unit. |

The BRZ antenna contains the GPS antenna. It's in the roof, not in the dash. That's only on the FRS where the GPS system is optional. I'm sorry I don't know the specific part number.

Correct, the BRZ antenna base houses the GPS reciever. If you compare the BRZ antenna base to the FR-S you'll see that it is MUCH larger.

Actually, the BRZ antenna contains the satellite radio and radio antennas, not navigation. I mistook the request above and thought the OP was looking for the radio antenna. The navigation antenna mounts directly above the display unit in the dash. The link I posted above shows this.
The US is the only country to have satellite radio, hence why our BRZs get a unique exterior antenna base. |
