teleaid only, as far as I understand it. nav antenna is totally seperate and I think is hidden from outside visibility (when installed). I have neither right now, but from the installs that Steve has done with nav., my understanding is that it is on a different antenna.

USA cars are generally pre-wired for a whole pile of things that the customer may or may not actually activate. This is slowly changing but the older cars are indeed this way.

The rear window has one long radio antenna which goes from side to side. It touches the glass in several places across the top and takes radio and door unlock.

There is sufficient space for the through-glass phone system antenna in the middle and in the top right corner there is space for GPS antenna in part of the screen that cant be seen from the outside.

Depending on what your car is pre-wired for then you may have all of those antenna systems in place.
