Just joined the forum, bought my first Civic LX this past August. I haven't seen any other posts for this specific question.

I just bought the Visteon Jump transportable receiver. Since I'm in and out of different cars during season, I wanted something to take with me. I'm a traveling recruiter so I use a lot of rental cars. It's technically supposed to be installed by a professional, but then it's not 'transportable' to other cars. The power is supposed to be wired into the car's power supply and the antenna is supposed to be wired into the car's antenna. I bought a fix for the power, but I can't figure out the antenna. This brings up two questions:

1) I've read that the car's antenna is on the back windshield, but is there a hookup location? I imagine this will require some 'surgery' to get to.
2) Is there an antenna adapter anybody knows of that would enable me to move this from car to car instead of a permanent install?
