+ScurvyDog Posted April 1, 2003 Share Posted April 1, 2003 I have a 99 Dodge 1500 P/U. I have a Garmin GPS Map76 and I use an external ant. but it sits so low in the window that the sats behind can't come in. It still displays pretty good. The only way I could get better reception would be put in a roof mount. I really don't like making holes in the roof. So I am happy. ScurvyDog Lakewood,CA Quote Link to comment
Big W Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 Typically most of your high end cars are going to have this feature. Audi A8,A6 BMW 5,7...Ect It is also a problem with ezpass and other drive thur toll units. You can go to ezpass.com and they list cars that need the sensor on the bumper... Quote Link to comment

+rayt333 Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 My car is on the list and I have noticed that sometimes I can still get good signal and other times I lose it completely. What I have found is usally if I place the GPS near the edge of the windshield it is better, and also the angle of the windshield to the horizon seems to make a difference (like going up or down a hill compared to traveling on level ground) Bottom line is the reception is spotty at best.
