Nav quick question

Hey guys i have the Nav package, and i was wondering if i can actually get a shorty antenna?

not like i use my nav often, but i still prefer to have it just incase the phone doesnt work and sometimes the nav screen is easer to see than my phones

is the gps signal in the base or in the actual antenna?

The "rubber ducky" antenna is only for AM radio reception. The satellite radio and nav antennas are under the plastic base on the roof, and the FM antenna is built into the back window glass. Using a shorty antenna will have no affect on anything, except for AM reception (and that's really only if you live near mountains or tall buildings).
