 |
|
| It appears that my new Renault Scenic has a windscreen that is interfering with GPS signals. It is not practical to mount the NAVMAN behind the rear view mirror, which is the only area free from interference. Therefore, does anyone know how to connect an external antenna to the ICN550? |

The 550 has an mMCX socket under a rubber bung on the flip-up aerial. You can plug a suitable external GPS antenna in here.

And, I bought a compatible one from Halfords for about £7.99
