Default Ford Quickclear windscreen

Does anybody else find it is difficult to get a GPS lock thro the windscreen. My TT5 works instantly with my other car but takes ages to connect in my Mondeo. Is it me?

And greetings from a newbie too - have been lurking for a while.

The windscreen should have a patch / section that is not affected by the nsignals. In the Peugeot 307, this is up by the rear view mirror.

Hope this helps

I placed my GPS in the Top left hand corner of the screen there is no elements on that part, my works well when i moved it, but it is depending on the type some have a cold start of 38-50 secs to get a fix

I'm using a 2000 Mondeo with IPAQ 3870 + BT44 Bluetooth GPS with TT 5.1 and have had no problems with the quick clear windscreen..I think it only makes a difference if you have heat relective glass.
