Avant antenna Amp

[dkpriebe at attbi.com]

It is my understanding that in the Avant only the rear antenna is used. That
being said, my front windshield does have the antenna line built into it. As
for the amp on the antenna, I believe that it is actually built into the base.
I don't think that it is a separate unit. If you are referring to the stereo
amp, it is under the rear seat, just offset from the center tunnel.
