GPS Antenna

I have a 2018 Tundra I am adding Entune Premium Nav to and I need a GPS antenna. Factory ones are outrageous and not sure the Ebay ones will work. My truck is a SR so I am assuming no antenna there. Does anyone have an extra one they would sell reasonably? TIA

 

I would skip the etune premium NAV. Stock stereos/NAV on Tundras are not great.. Ways on a phone works better.
I think it may be cheaper and perform better to install an aftermarket HU with Nav, I am sure the NAV will work better and the stereo certainly will.

 

The factory antenna is under $50 if I remember correctly but it is also designed to fit onto the roof in the middle where I could never determine for sure that my SR has a wire for it going there.

Instead of messing around with that I got a $10 antenna from Amazon I think and it sits in the center of the dash just behind the windshield on top of the empty center speaker whole.

I upgraded the SR radio to a better factory radio and the improvement was pretty huge!
Maybe nowhere near as huge as a good aftermarket radio but also not nearly as expensive and again much better than the stock SR,I was surprised by this too.

I did not get a NAV unit either but make sure that you get the Radio not needing an external Amplifier as your SR will not have one and it will make the install a lot harder too.

 

I appreciate your advise and opinion but I prefer stock.

 

Do you recall which antenna you got?

 

I think the way I replied already says that U gave no idea at all.
I have no idea at all!

GPS antenna pretty much universal though aside from connectors and I do remember also needing a connector adapter too.

I will try to find it later though.

 

Actually I went to Amazon and found 1. Got it ordered. $10.99. Thanks for your help.

 

The connector on the radio end is odd and might require an adapter too?

 

It didn’t say anything about an adapter but would appreciate if you check what you got. Thanks.

 

Until you get the radio I would wait and just see if the Antenna you ordered has a matching connector.
The Toyota Radio Connector looks different than many but if I remember correctly it also might slide roght on too?

Do you already have the radio?

I ask because the one that I got needed 2 Sat antennas too,one for the SAT Tuner itself and another for the Clock of all stupid things?!
So if yours has 2 Sat antenna looking ports you may need more than one?

If you have a Sat Tuner at least.

 

Yes I do have the radio. Not going to use the satellite radio so should just need the gps antenna.

 

Right but are there 2 sat antenna inputs 1 on the radio and another on the sat tuner under the radio?
If so then the one on the radio itself is the one for the clock and I bet you can not set the clock without it?

 

Ok I’ll take a look. Wonder why an antenna for a clock? Seems odd.

 

No kidding
It took me a lot of research to find and understand too!

 

So was it a satellite antenna or a second gps antenna?

 

2nd Sat Antenna,sorry if I confused this earlier.
It is so weird that it is hard to remember but if there is a Sat antenna connector on the radio itself that matches the antenna connector on the Sat Radio tuner,if you have one then the one on the radio is for the clock to be able to set itself from a Sat signal somehow.

 

Where did you mount your satellite antennas? I see where 1 plugs into the Xm receiver. Where does the other one plug into? And you are right. No way to set the clock. Crazy. I see where the gps antenna plugs in but not the second xm. TIA

 

I stuck the clock one right on top of the radio itself,it sticks there magnetically as most of these antennas seem to have a magnetic base.
The main Sat antenna I stuck on top of the center speaker cover as my truck has no center speaker there and it is just a big empty space there inside.
I took the little round plug and filed it down on one edge with a round file so the cable could come through there and the Antenna just sits on top of the cover right behind that plug.

The Clock thing is bizarre to say the least?!

 

Where does the clock one plug into? I found a plug in on the sat radio but not the clock one.
