Why would be my first question? The 760 has an excellent receiver and doesn't normally require an external antenna?

Hi Darren thanks for reply, the position I want it in ie not stuck on the window,is fairly low down on my centre consul on my C30 ,I do get a signal but keep on loosing it, if I have it in the area where the vents are I do not get a signal,it maybe because of the eletrics above on the screen this car does have auto senceing window wipers and all that stuff.

I'm surprised to hear that as my devices will continue to work when in the glovebox or buried in the arm rest.

If you do need an external antenna then Garmin would be the first port of call, IIRC it uses an MMCX connector?

Thanks Darren, I can put my 760 in my centre glove box and still get a signal but once it goes near the centre control panel near the electics it goes off signal .

One of These should be what you are looking for, similar items should be available from Maplins, although take the unit to the shop and ask an assistant as its not too obvious whether this unit is using mMCX or MCX for the external GPS feed, if it is MCX as I think then This might help - Mike

MikeA our resident technical boffin tells me it is MCX rather than MMCX for the connector. I'd still recommend getting the Official Garmin accessory antenna, the GA 25MCX.
