Not entirely correct. The K-40 that I had in my FWD 5000s had two remote 
antennas. Was mounted behind the grill, looking forward. The second one - 
behind the plastic bumper cover, looking back. The display was wedgy shaped 
and was mounted in the dash, right in front of the speedo. BTW, that K-40 
was $800. (I bought mine for $25 used and broken, from some unfortunate 
soul. He got rearended, the bumper was history and the rear antenna 
developed a schitzophrenia because of the cracked PC board. I had to 
resolder those hair-thin tracks).
