Having bought a car with one of these , does the appradio have a built in GPS antenna ?

Cant seem to see an external arial any where ?

 

Would love to use appradio+ and IGO .. But phone is currently in glovebox with cable and dont really want to mount it any where !

 

many thanks

Luke

Yes,AppRadio first and secound gen have GPS antenna's to help with the NAV apps. Depending on how it was installed the antenna could be mounted in the dash (behind the radio).

The radio's external GPS antenna makes my nav apps worse. Most of the time they can't track my location until I unplug the phone.

Mike...can you just try to move the position of gps antena...one quarter left or right, and have a look....i got that problem firt time i've sticked my appradio gps antena....just because of bad "position" of the antena...with google maps i wasn't in the roads, but in buildings...til i 've changed the position

I am in an area with good GPS reception, and I've tried my GPS Antenna in several different positions, and it still says Poor GPS signal and can't detect where I am on google maps or any other apps.

 

What should I do?

if poor signal...maybe the gps antenna itself ? is it well pluged ?, didn't the connection get bad when you put appradio in dash ?

normally with iphone, are you ok ? ( i think yes, but i ask )
