Hi,
I have an S class Mercedes and want to fit the RoadAngel to it. Problem is that the glass does not allow the GPS signals to penetrate it and you need an external aerial. I went down to Thames Car Radio today and their suggestion was to fit the aerial on the drivers side at the base of the windscreen. Then run the wires through into the car.
I would rather have a more "stealthy" unobtrusive way of mounting this and I was wondering whether anyone had any ideas.
I know that the GPS unit on the Mercedes has a few GPS aerial sockets, but the Roadangel needs the "raw" signal from the satellites as it also has an inbuilt aerial (the one you use with the repeater aerial).
Any ideas welcomed, not sure if their approach is the best/only one.
thanks
