Hi all
I have read all the posts in the world it seems about changing this head unit, i have a 2011 Evora S - it has the Alpine 520 and i have bought an Alpine 920 as reading on the seloc wiki it can be retro fitted with the harness, which i have on order from Lotus Silverstone, I have removed the 520 in readiness and looked at the cables, everything seems fine to go ahead and install when the harness comes.
My question is, on the 920 the sat nave cable has the GPS antenna box on the end of the cable which is magnetic, if i place this in the "under dash" space somewhere, will this still pick up signal ok or is the cable quite long for a reason and this needs to be say on top of the dash or in the footwell somewhere? Has anybody who did this upgrade got any advice on where to put this?
I know this 920 unit is now quite old given the times, but i wanted to retain a unit Lotus did fit to cars not too much older than mine.
Thanks in advance
Chris
