Hi I just did the exact same in my VZ Monaro. The computer goes in boot LHS under parcel shelf. I put the antenna on Drivers side dash top as I have Metallic Solar film on Rear glass & if you put the antenna on rear parcel shelf it may not get a good signal. I ran the loom from the dash unit to the computer down thru the centre console & under rear carpet & under rear seat into the boot area. I used the Acc +ve wire from the under dash Cig lighter plug . -ve to any metal earth point of dash. You need to get to loom behind speedo cluster & carefully bare the Speedo Signal wire (purple) & solder in your GPS speed input wire there & tape up. Use the Cig Lighter illum lt wire for GPS light day/nite signal wire, You may need a Hot +ve input, I ran a wire thru to fuse box under dash & connnected it there to one of the hot +ve fuses. (I know theres supposed to be a full GPS harness connector behind the glovebox somewhere & the harness is supposed to run along pax side door sill , but my method is easier & I didne know what wires were what on the factory connector) Hope that helps,
