Cellular WIFI Antenna?

Hey all, My truck has a factory ONStar antenna. Which is basicly a cellular antenna. With this work with my WIFI if I connect it? I was able to use my factory XM antenna on my PCR buy just tracing back and a little soldering, But am unsure if that type of antenna in general will work........

No.
The antennas are tuned differently.

There's a Hirschmann GPS2400 in the store here that does GPS, cellphone and wiFi: http://store.mp3car.com/ProductDetai...Code=COM%2D008

and it works quite well.

Just be aware that you will need a GPS reciever to use the GPS.

well, you can't adapt a cellular antenna to be a wifi antenna as far as I know, so you're going to have to add another antenna anyways, that one includes cellular, so you can remove the one youhave now and plug it into this one
