Climate comfort wind screen and GPS signal?
I was wondering if the clima comfort windshield which helps car not to heat up during sunshine, affects GPS signal as well?
I have TomTom Via 125 on my dashboard and it freaks out, drops satellite signals and lags when in X3. Previously it was on Skoda's dashboard with no problems. Or are there solar winds affecting these things at the moment? Or something...? This is happening in Finland. |

But that's the idea... Reflect rays. Sadly it doesn't tell the difference between good and bad rays |

I thought that it is easy to block UV radiation and let radio signals come through so I didn't even think that it would affect GPS Already two let downs and I got it yesterday: GPS signal gets blocked and I don't have bluetooth to radio (I thought it is default). |

There is a shadowed area around the rearview mirror to place electronic devices. Have you tried to put the GPS overthere? It may not be very practical, but maybe it would work.
