Hi guys using the bluetooth Navman package that came with my X30H

Used for over a year now and was fine up till i got a new car (heated front windscreen), i think that i require an external antenna to plug into the recievers MMCX socket. HOWEVER most of these external units require me to hang the unit and stick to the external body work of the car via the built in magnet...such as this one:

I am not too happpy that this means i need to have the window open all the time with a wire hanging about. Are there any glass mounted antenna you guys have used and could suggest to me?

Thanks.

Generally the wire is thin enough and flexible enough that you can close the door on the wire instead of running through a window. I use the magnetic mount on the small area between the windshied and the hood, keeping the wire outside short. On my Avalon, I can route out the door, keep in in a seam between two panels and only have 1-2 inches of wire showing right near the magnetic antenna.

There are also antennas that re-radiate inside the car from an antenna outside. They mount on the top of the glass window edge. I have never personally tried one, but you might search for it with google.
