The TV antenna is mounted in the rear window... below is a link to one for an example.

The unit I bought comes with a TV antenna, which will be mounted inside the rear window. It is pretty small, and they place one side of the antenna along the side of the window and the other side along the top of the window. They showed me how they were going to install it and it didn't block my view at all.

They even have satelite TV (DirecTV) available for cars, but its over $2200, which is a bit expensive for me! But here is the link anyway...

Hey,

Can you let me know if this unit will fit in the glove compartment? It's vertically mountable, so I'm thinking it will be fine in there? Unless anyone knows otherwise (ie if it can operate horizontally and vertically, does that mean it can operate at any angle in between?)

Then, it's just the size... otherwise, I guess underneath the passenger seat is a good compromise...

Actually, now that I think about it a little more, the center console might be a better place for this (I don't have much in there), and it's more easily accessible...

Thanks...
well, here is the update...

I just purchased a DVD player with a built in TV tuner. Its the Blaupunkt DVD ME3. I got if for a good price from FRY's Electronics for just over $200 (it was $179 plus taxes and an extended warranty). I tested it out on my home TV and the DVD and TV tuner work great. Now I just have to wait for the Viewtech Controller to arrive so I can have it all installed. The Blaupunkt unit is larger than some available, but it will fit under the passenger seat without obstruction or being damaged by the movement of the seat.

So... I will update with further info once the install is done... it should be a few weeks!

The unit I purchased (the Blaupunkt DVD ME3) does NOT fit inside the center console... I tried. I have not yet checked to see if it fits inside the glove compartment... but I was told by Al & Ed's that that is not a good place to put it because it could get too hot inside a confined area. I told them that it will be really confined under the seat, but they said that it will be able to keep cool because the air inside the vehicle will keep it cool.

It can be mounted at any angle between horizontal and verticle.
