Hello:
I have a big problem: my gps does not receive any signal inside the car. I have to put it out of the car.

Questions:
1.- can I use the radio antenna conected to the GPS (the GPS inside the car)?
2.- Will the weather destroy my GPS (navilock)? If so, what kind of box to you recommned me?
3.- If I put the GPS inside a box, will it receive signal? (wich material for the box?)

You can dip the entire unit in a product called Plasticote and then place it on the roof. Veetid did it and it was working well for him.

i am personally putting mine in a small rubbermaid container. wifi and gps. cut a hole for the wires, seal it all up and put a magnet on the bottom so it will stay on the roof. then i can shut the wires in the door or trunk, wires clear no problems with pinching. should be worth a try anyway.

I have managed to make it work inside the car.
I have placed a 10*10 cm iron "paper" down the rear windows. The GPS above this iron "paper".

The aim is the mouse to see the sky connected to something made of iron.
