Can anyone help me with routing the antenna wire? My car's FM antenna is at the back, and I'm not sure of the best way to route the wire. Should I do it on the exterior or the interior, and how?

thanks for any help!

It depends on what you are using for an antenna. If your antenna is designed to be roof mounted then you can mount it anywhere on your roof that room permits. If it doesn't have to be mounted on the exterior then mount it as far forward on the dash close to the windshield as you can. It may also help to have a small sheet of metal below it to act as a ground plain.
