If a weak signal is a major part of the problem, I thought it would make sense to move the GTM 12 to the best possible position to gain maximum signal strength, (i.e.) along the top of the windscreen ... |

The GTM21 looks interesting, is that a mini USB plug on the end? Wonder if it works on a 310/360? |

Was thinking about making up some screening for the power lead and earthing it to a suitable point on the car, anyone got any tips or thoughts on this before I start? |
