Evening all

First post, so please be gentle with me!

I have been a long term user of Blackvue dash cams - the quality and form factor always worked for me. I changed my car and moved the Blackvue and it just didn’t seem to want to work properly - wouldn’t pick up a GPS signal amongst other things. So I grabbed a Nextbase camera as I needed something in a hurry, but the GPS wouldn’t pick up on that either.

I’ve subsequently established that my car (2007 Audi Q7) has heat reflective glass so won’t allow a GPS signal through.

I want to move back to a Blackvue (or similar form factor) but need the GPS to work - any idea how I can overcome the problem of a blocked signal?

Thanks in advance

check the user manual and see if it mentions an area of the window that is untreated, if it does look for a model with external GPS that would work with that
 
Hi

Thanks for the response - there doesn’t seem to be an untreated area unfortunately
