Evening.
Does anyone know if the ML55 AMG has a metallized coating on the windscreen that would prevent a sat nav from receiving the sat. signal

My Tom Tom and Garmin cannot seem to hold onto or even receive the sat signal.

Many thanks.

Martin.
 
Check in your handbook. If the car has a metallised screen there'll be instructions on where to put a tollbooth transponder. However, the clear area for a transponder is only a few centimetres square so isn't big enough to allow a good view of the sky for GPS.

Also, most metallised screens have a slight metallic shimmer to them if you look at a certain angle. It would be noticeably different from the tint on the other windows.
