Hi. I just wondered if the "Solar control windscreen" blocks radio signals?
For example to a Navigation Unit attached to same.

Thank you...

I have an "athermic" windscreen which does block SatNav signals, sort of. What I do is mount the GPS low down near the dash and it now seems to work fine. If I mounted my S90i Navman in a normal position I cannot get a GPS fix.

That any help?

Thanks Shambles. Thought it might do.
Some cars have a "clear" section, normally behind the interior mirror where a GPS aerial can be attached.
Will give it a try stuck to screen first.

Hi Bill03.

I see, presume it's you, are a member on the http://www.i30ownersclub.com/

Although there is nothing, from memory, about your question, if you haven't already then post this question as you'll get good feed back.

Not many UK Members but we are growing.

Thanks eye30. I have posted it on there also. I can't try the Nav unit as I don't collect the car until end of next week.
