Some Q's for anyone using a Rikaline 6010
I have a Rikaline 6010 USB version, and I've got some prelim questions, since I'm planning to start running all my wires in the next few days.
1. Do any of you experience problems with resuming from hibernate mode with the Rikaline always connected?
2. Have you mounted your's with a direct line-of-sight to the sky, or is it possible to mount it in the trunk under the rear shelf where the speakers are mounted? I've heard stories where people claim they have their Rikaline mounted under the driver or passenger seat and it has no problem acquiring satellites, but I'm not sure how true that can be.
I'm trying to figure out a good place to mount it in the car, and am thinking it will probably need to be somewhere near the rear of the car, possibly just snaked up from the trunk and onto the rear shelf or right under the headliner, where the headliner meets the rear window.
3. Is there any reason why a GPS unit should be mounted toward the front of the car (by the windshield) as opposed to the rear of the car? I had a problem powering the unit when I put it on the end of a 10' USB extension cable, so I'd like to keep it as close as possible to the computer in the trunk...
Basically, I'm just looking for some hints/insight as to best places to mount it. Does it absolutely have to have line-of sight to the sky?
