I can't really make an informed answer... But the SiRF III chipset just came out. The unit I have doesn't care where it is in my car so far. I definately don't have to put it on my dash. It's in a nylon case, sitting wherever I put it (front seat, back seat, floorboard, etc), and it holds the Bluetooth connection (and 10-12 satellites) just fine. It's also 20 channels, not 16.

In my house, with the nearest window being 25 or so feet away, I typically get 8+ satellites locked.

Apparently there's an issue with cold weather and the Bluetooth portion of the unit, but hopefully they'll fix that shortly.
