I have an 07 F-150. I noticed behind the radio is a small box that is sitcky taped and has the numbers 4160A-GSM0108 and it comes up on google as an GPS something. Did someone put a GPS or tracking device on my truck or is it a factory unit?

 

I don't know. But your local Ford dealer parts department should be able to tell you if you give them those numbers.

EDIT, that is a GPS unit. Did you purchase the truck used?

If so, that is part of a Kenwood in vehicle GPS system.

 

Correct me if I am wrong. Isn't the GPS Antenna mounted on the roof.
I am thinking of putting one in my truck. If this is true I woun't have to drill any holes.

 

No thats the Sirius antenna thats on the roof, the GPS is behind the radio.

 

Ok, So if I don't put in sirius radio I can just install the GPS ant in a space under the dash axcess panel on the right side.
Thank you, Thank you. I don't have to drill a hole.

 

It depends on the GPS unit & antenna. Some GPS antennas require LOS (line of sight) visibility to at least 3 satellites in order to work.

 

Its not an antenna, it's the transceiver. The antenna has most likely been removed.

 

What is a transceiver and is that what a GPS uses?
I don't know anything about a GPS system, But I want to install one in my truck. I can use all the help I can get. b2747

 

Its the it transmits and recieves the gps satellite information. The unit we are discussing is specifically made for a Kenwood GPS car stereo. There is most likely an antenna mounted on the truck somewhere.

 

Wonder why that happened, I didn't type that.....LOL
