I just upgraded my head unit from the RER (with Sat/Nav) to the RHR (Sat/Nav). It was simple process, but looking at the connectors on the back the RER had a split GPS and SDAR antenna connector, along with AM/FM connector, so 3 connectors total. The RHR combines the GPS and SDAR antenna into a single connector, so only have 2 input connectors.
I left the GPS antenna wire off, and connected the SDAR and AM/FM antennas. Everything seems to be functioning fine, even GPS w/Traffic link. I understand the traffic data is coming from Satellite so should work.
Anyone know what I should be missing by not having the GPS antenna? I would assume signal strength, but my signal seems to be good, and I'm getting positioning and coordinates, etc.
Any ideas on wiring here or provide details wrt to the GPS antenna? I'm thinking that since I had an RER, and have the Sat/Nav already, the SDARS antenna is also providing GPS reception. (this is wild guess).
Any thoughts?
