I have a Renualt Scenic and have heard about the problem with their Heat reflective windscreens and GPS receivers.

Does anyone know whether the back window or any of the side windows are heat reflective as well? I was wondering if i could get away with a BT GPS on the side or rear windows/???

Any advice well appreciated

The back window may have heating strips on, obstructing the sky view slightly (Faraday cage). The side windos should be better, they tend not to have any coating.

Have a look at the front window - sometimes a corner is not tinted, and you can place the receiver there.
