A few questions regarding the GPS receiver/antenna for the v2 camera:
I assume the GPS receiver needs to be (after I flip it) on a window that is somewhat horizontal (windshield/rear window) and not straight vertical (side window) right? This camera is likely a rear camera but I don't want the receiver on the rear glass as both vehicles are essentially hatch backs and I don't want the movement on the cords (especially in the Canadian cold when cords get firmer/brittle).
Assuming it needs to have some vertical exposure, I may need to try to run the cord to the front windshield - how long is the cord with the v2? Can I extend it with some other cord?
I recall instruction to locate the receiver away from the camera. I have A119S cameras int he front of the vehicles so I assume I should locate the receiver away from those also. In one vehicle I have a Sirius/XM radio antenna/receiver on the windshield where I would otherwise locate the gps receiver - would locating it there cause interference for the gps or the sirius/xm radio?

By working well enough I mean that it can sometimes take a few minutes to establish a GPS lock and it's not unusual to lose the lock with just a slight amount of interference - like going under a long underpass. I'm not real concerned about continuous location tracking on the side cams, just using the GPS to keep the date/time correct.
