Clifford G5 antennae placement

Manual says to put it vertically on the front or rear screen, but it just looks stupid.

How effective will it be if I mount it horizontally don the edge? or should I just try it and see and hope I can remove the sticky pad if I need ot move it?

 

it seems ok on the front, dont really notice it there, but mine has just gone wrong whether its to do with the placement i doubt it

do you have it in the middle behind the rear view mirror?

 

when stud put my clifford in admittidly its a g4 he put it horizontal under the dash....works a treat

 

yep, behind the rear view mirror

 

yup as steve says, it's hidden on his and works a treat.

 

I'll try a few locations and see what the reception is like.

I've just got it sat on top of the dash at the moment ad it works from the other end of the street!

Another thing, the wiring insturctions tell me to wir it to the "parking lights" surely they mean the indicators?

 

think damo's is on the windscreen right next to the o/s front pillar right down low near the dash

 

Cliffords are american, so it just an english/american swappy over lanuage thingy.

You can wire it to flash whatever you want.

 

yeah, I just wanted to check I wasn't wiring in the headlight activation to the indicators!

I'm going to put the aerial in the dash, above the lcocks and see how it works there. it seems to be working well on top of the dash, so I can't see it being any worse under it.

 

yeah it is, i fitted that one too.

 

i take it your handy with that sort of thing.... i have a g5 gathering dust in a box in the kitchen that needs fitting

 

It's p1ss easy. If you can use a multimeter and a soldering iron you can fit it.

 

I stuck the aerial up inside the dash, in the centre. works perfectly.
