Solar Attenuating Glasses & GPS Signal Inteference - Evoquer - 12-01-2012 04:59am
For those who have solar attenuating glasses, do you get the satellite GPS signals well to your portable devices (such as Garmin, TomTom, iPhone, iPad, Androids, etc)?

My father had this problem with a different make of car and used a remote antena on the rear window linked by bluetooth to his PDA

Its pretty bad but if you put it at the very top corner on the driver side it works.

I found that the glass interferes with Fast Lane transponders for USA toll booths, too. In fact, just yesterday I had to trade in my interior mounted transponder for an exterior mounted one because no matter where inside the RRE I mounted the interior transponder it wouldn't work.

I find the garage door opener on the home link doesnt work as well. I have to be literally at my driveway and keeeping pressing the buttons to open the garage door. Whereas my cx9 homelink i can be a block away andit would open no problem.

If the solar attenuating glass is causing these problems, they should remove it from the standard feature list of US/Canada models and let customers add it with no additional cost (just like panoramic roof) . Better yet, just remove it and lower down price for that much.
In Seattle, we get average 48 sunny days in a year, we need SOLAR INTENSIFYING GLASSES!!!

What does the exterior transponder look like? Where does it get mounted? I've found that my interior unit works intermittently (strangely in certain toll lanes I find it always works, but in most cases never), and Fast Lane has contacted me and asked that I stop using it or exchange with an exterior unit.
