So, some of you may have seen the long thread/guide I wrote about retrofitting LED/PDLS+ headlights. The very last step, which I hadn't done until now, was to *replace the entire windshield* with the variant that comes with the lane change assist camera mount (and a clear cut out for the camera lens in the windshield shade band). Welp, I finally cracked my windshield (hurray?) and replaced it with the camera mount equipped one. Problem is, the GPS and mobile phone antennas don't fit in the places they used to; the mount behind the shade band looks rather different.

I searched high and low and could not find a pic with both covers removed (the lower part near the mirror stem, not the one with homelink buttons etc.) on a PDLS+ equipped car. Would someone mind sharing some pics of what it looks like uncovered? I guess it would also work if it's not PDLS+ but has Lane Change Assist, as they apparently use the same camera.

Here's what I'm working with:

The aluminum piece in front houses the mobile antenna. The green chipset in the back is the GPS antenna.

This is the best picture I could find, unfortunately (taken from a 911). It's too blurry to be very useful, but I do think it shows the same GPS antenna mounted center right. I wedged mine into that position, though not 100% sure I got it right. The Mobile Phone Antenna, however, is nowhere to be found in the pic and I'm beginning to wonder if I need a different one altogether.

Oh, I found a better picture that clears up everything. I have the GPS antenna mounted in the right spot (just needed to finagle it a bit more to push it all the way down). The mobile phone antenna, however, is a new part and slots in on the far right. I'm not sure why it's missing from the picture above, but this unit has it:




Appears to use the same connector, as well, thankfully.
