Default MMCS Question

I recently picked up a full MMCS system for my '11 Outie that currently has the OEM Rockford system. I received the main MMCS unit, the mounting bracket, the bezel, the harness, the environmental unit that mounts underneath the MMCS cage, the GPS antenna with the bracket and the operating manual. Everything is pretty much plug & play and worked just fine when I powered it up. However I'm stumped as to where in the dash the GPS antenna/bracket assembly mounts to under the dash. I could not find any diagram or previous threads in the forum showing where it goes. It has to be pretty simple, the antenna harness wasn't that long. So I'm hoping I don't have to tear the dash apart. Any help here?

Under the top cover of the centre dash section.

I will take a look at it again. I figured the antenna would be mounted just above the radio because of the length of the antenna wire. So the antenna mounts to the inside of the dash, not on top of the MMCS cage, right? Would that center cover of the dash need to be removed to install the antenna bracket to it?

Yes. Two black screws to go away, than pull it upward. The mount place is front right side of the opening.

Guess I forgot I posted the question earlier. I found that same diagram myself. So yes, I did have to remove two Phillips screws on the center section of the dash and pop that top cover off....carefully. Everything fit into place perfectly and the it's all working perfectly. The whole install took hardly any time at all once I saw the diagram.

Not really sure how to go about doing that. I'm pretty sure there's a newer version out there.
