HiFiSi Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Yes, it's good. As long as the Accuracy says HIGH, and the 3 boxes and satellite icon in the bottom left are green, all is well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

qkslvr Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 I also have an fj cruiser and had the antenna in the same spot, along with a Sirius antenna on the dash 2 feet away from the gps antenna. I got the same amount of signal as you and gps worked fine, but I was having a lot (every 3-5 seconds) of Sirius dropouts whenever I went into a heavily wooded area. I had the installer move both antennas to the roof. The Sirius dropouts went away completely. The gps signal is a little better (went from 2-3 red satellites down to one red), and the signal bars went up a little to almost halfway. If you have the vss wire hooked up, you won't need to move it anyway because the gyroscope anticipates your speed and route. If you aren;t getting any verbal warnings of the gps signal being lost, you should be fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
