the only cars i have experienced no GPS have been a Bentley Flying Spur and both the old and new gen Mercedes S-class.
Isn't the chauffeur supposed to know where he's going without the aid of satnav?

If this spreads to cars not equipped with GPS this is going to become a bit of a problem.
Weirdly, cell phone reception seems absolutely fine in everything![]()
Are any of these vehicles running tints and or shaded glass? I'm surprised at the M5 (assuming you mean E60) why would you need to use GPS.
It's a big issue in the tinting world where the tints use a metalic coating and wreak havoc with the cars systems.
Its not a tint, its a heat reflective coating

It is to do with the heating elements in the windscreens I think...
My clio seems to do this, I think itsthe front screen.
Oh do go away
I have the UV coating on my clio and it works anywhere on the dash, it doesn't need to be under the UV gap on the windscreen.
What GPS are you using?
I think it depends on the device GPS in phones won't work in the front of my car but fine in other cars, Racelogic/SatNav does work but can take longer to lock onto all the satellites compared to the aerial being in the boot.
I don't think a UV coating would do it... But anything metal in the windscreen such as a heating element would block GPS.

Thanks, didn't know that, you learn a new thing everyday!The UV coatings apparently contain a metalic compond in them thus resulting in the same effect.
