Abstract
An antenna-mounted vehicle location system is described herein. The vehicle location system allows a user to remotely activate an illumination device attached to a vehicle antenna. The illumination device can be selectively activated by a user via a portable activator. This activator can be in the form of a key fob and is small enough for comfortably carrying within a pocket, purse, etc. The illumination device can be configured to receive an RF signal from the activator to cause the device to emit a signal light for alerting the user as to the vehicle's location.
