08 liberty, where does the new antenna get mounted for the mopar remote start kit?

The directions say to look in the service manual. But I haven't spent I over $100 on a manual in my life (they are like $200 on ebay)

Got the factory remote start kit, doing self install. Hoping the dealer won't charge full price to do only the starscan activation.
The kit adds an antenna the plugs into the security box by that has the ring around the key.
The antenna cable has an OK length, some sites say the antenna goes near the center console, some say near the top of the dash.

The antenna is a flat box about the size of a deck of cards with 2 mounting holes.
I'm certain that there are two screws, or screw holes somewhere within 3 feet of the steering wheel where this is supposed to go.

Does anyone know where?

:JEEPIN:
Thanks in advance


****UPDATE 9/4/2014*****
Pulled the entire dash apart and found the mounting location is directly behind the instrument cluster. The install kit includes the hardware needed to mount it. I'll try and follow up with some Pics latter, but wanted to get the news out. (since nobody on the interwebs has posted this info yet)

***Status update***

Install done except for mounting the new antenna, and it works great!

So far it's an EZ install, just need the star scan activation. You must leave the old key sensor in place to drive it tot the dealership. I just mounted the new one and left the old one plugged in and hanging around the key. My dealer charges $55 for starscan changes. :(

Stealing column comes apart with 3 torex screws on the bottom. I'm not sure if the short bits will work, my kits has long neck torex drivers.

I did put the hood safety switch in the wrong pin slot, but the dealer fixed it. (I intend to pull it apart to see where they moved it to, since I was confident in my location.)

If anyone has any Qs about it ask me, I'd love to share.

If anyone knows where the antenna gets mounted please let me know!

The Factory Remote Start antenna on the Jeep KK (Liberty 2008+) is behind the instrument cluster. Will update with Pics when I get time, but the mopar remote start kit includes the hardware to mount, it's very EZ!!!
