I have the same setup with the TripNav GPS and I get lock *all* the time, I have the GPS routed to under my hood, which is fiberglass (RF can pass thru).

I can 'see' and lock up with 7+ sats typically. And I have a ton of electronics in the car, ham radio gear, scanners, etc...

I still think that it could be a power issue, until you put it on a powered hub and power the hub indepdent of the ITPS/PW60 I would still bet on power.

Can you bring the car computer into the house and try that?

what if you get a usb extension cable and move it around the car, does that make any difference.
