I stuck my gps antenna on the vent arm just underneath the top diffuser on the dash. There's a pic somewhere on the board. Others have stuck it vertically within the vent channel.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

As above, I've also seen a picture on here with the little puck antennae stuck flat to the dash between the windscreen and instrument binnacle with the lead going back through the top air vent.
