Nice Bruce. Now all you need is an upper storage tray to replace the CD holder.

Interesting idea. I like the look, but I do carry a few CDs with me quite often... dunno...

If memory serves, I'll find a part number for that by searching, yes?

My daughter bought me a CD case for my birthday, which made the CD tray obsolete.

Bruce, hold on a minute I'll find it....... searching........ searching........ OK, I found it!

The part number for the upper storage tray (a.k.a. bin) is 996.552.253.01.01C (the 01C denotes black color) and will run $30 to $35 at the dealer.

Nice! Thanks, Tim. At that price, I'll just try it and see if I like it.

You are welcome! Of course, you will post the mandatory "after" pics, right?

The antenna goes under the little plastic black thingy on the dash. Where the flashing red led is when the alarm is on.

f,

The installation is not that difficult. The GPS antenna fits under the alarm led cover on the dash near the windshield. It does require removing the dash 'horse-shoe" and center fresh-air ducts to route the GPS antenna lead to the Trafficpro head unit. If you need detailed instructions, PM me and I will send detailed file ( too large for me to upload and attach to this message??)

No Sleeve is needed for the Traffic pro. There are two spring clips that can be adjusted to properly lock into the dash.
