  • best place for gps antenna android 7 unit

    Hi

    Just brought a android 7 unit from icebox autos going to hopefully install it the weekend.

    http://www.iceboxauto.com/vauxhallop...7-h5753l-black

    I would like to know where would be the best place to put the GPS antenna.

    I've got a different unit to that but put my GPS antenna on the metal bar that goes across the car behind the glove box. Regularly get around 8 to 10 satellites.

      Sorry to hijack the thread but can you got a better GPS antenna to the stock vx units? My reception is rubbish sometimes

        Afraid I can't help there, I've got a Sino Smart unit, car wasn't originally fitted with a factory nav. Maybe ask by putting a separate thread in the appropriate section, you'll have better luck getting a response.

                  That's the speaker for indicator & vehicle warning sounds. It needs to be connected and the volume level set in the App

                          from what I remember you set it in the canbus tab from the factory settings (in the settings app), password 126

                              Been trying to find the volume level for the little speaker as it needs to be little bit louder
