Ive been doing some testing and what I have consistently found is that while driving I will randomly go from 8-10 sats to no lock at all. This is under clear unobstructed sky too. This usually happens for a short period of 1-5 seconds and then it picks back up with 8-10 sats again What the heck is going on here... I have a Garmin 15L (OEM type) with a might mouse antenna on the rear deck at the base of the windshield so its below the heater wires __________________ 2004 G35 Coupe project Last edited by aoLhaTer; 10-19-2005 at 04:14 AM.
