Put it in the roof liner or the "A" pillar is the best place I found. Low EMI and also highest part of the car without it being in sight. VERY IMPORTATN that you hide the antenna on a 2 way alarm system because the brain can not transmit a signal if it doesn't have an antenna to do so.

i have it in the dash right now... i took out the bezel and placed it as far away from metal and the insterment cluster as possible.... but the range isnt very good.

i DID have it extended allll the way back to the top of the back window (which somehow got better range then the dash) but i do not want it to be seen and i'm looking for even longer range.

i heard one of you guys say to take it out of the plastic case and putt it in the headliner near the A-piller. would that give me the best range?

not sure if i can stuff that large plastic transmitter into the A-piller... i may have to take it out of the case anyway
