Default SAT NAV IN A CLIO

Bought the Snooper indigo and it refuses to pick up any of the satalites around. Gets a faint connection, but not really strong enough to make the unit work properly.


It works fine in my car, so why is this???????


I have noticed a strange tint to the windscreen with a box missing out of it at the bottom, im pressuming its something to do with this, can anyone shed any light on this


Im thinking an external ariel is now required



cheers

Yes they have athermic windscreens which reduce glare & uv light but dampen GPS signals. If you position the snooper unit or an antenna by the clear box at the base it will work fine.

Same problem in my 172. If you put the unit at the bottom of the windscreen, directly in the middle it should work fine.

if its the Snooper indigo navigation unit, i doubt it will fit, i have the Blackspot navigator and there is no way you can mount it under that hole as it apears


are separate antenas available to buy?
