I know renaults block sat nav signals from TomToms, but is there any bletooth GPS receivers anyone knows about that work? Is it just the windscreen that blocks it or does all the glass?
i use tomtom on my phone and place my bluetooth receiver in the middle of the screen under the non reflective cutout which is there for french toll devices, its clear glass so is not reflective and therefore as long as its pointing through that works a treat.
There is a section in the middle of the screen at the dash which you can see is clear compared to the rest - thats where you need to put the antenna/gps unit then it works fine
Cool ok, would it work through the rear windscreen? what software you guys using? I'll be using a N73, any free ones, or am i going to have to buy one?

i have an N73 running the latest version of tomtom and its very good.
need to have your firmware uptodate though as only the latest FW is any good with bluetooth, the older one is not and has big problems connecting and keeping connections. I have an orange with a recent FW and its perfect.
the newer ones are better for recieving , its the uv protection on the glass that stops it i think, ive got a bluetooth gps reciever in boot under parcel shelf works fine ,
