Where is Radio Antenna Filament?

I'm looking for filament (near back windows) of the FM antenna. Is it different from GPS antenna or is integrated?
I see the manual Pag 86 but I don't understand where is the commector.
I must install an FM modulator. Where Can I connect it near rear windows?

Take a look at the rear window defroster and see if the antenna wire is on the driver's side, near the middle of the defroster grid. You should then be able to follow the coax cable along the wheelwell and join your modulator there.

From: Beyond that there swamp.
Why does the FM modulator need to be in the rear? it's a lot easier to get it in the console.

I don't want to remove the consolle. I have a switch with Fm-modulator integrated. I ounted it in the back of rear seat. So it's more easy to connect.

I had some interference issues and I thought I noticed the antenna being located on the side I mentioned. I haven't really dug into it yet, though.
