For those considering a Fortuna Bluetooth unit that have a UV windscreen, it does work.

Running the receiver in Xtrac mode consistently gave 7 - 10 satellite locks where as ST mode was hit and miss.

Running in Xtrac mode gave little noticible diference in usability compared to ST so not a problem permanently using this mode.

I previously tried a RoyalTek Sapphire which worked fine on the roof but could not penertrate the windscreen reliably, only up to three weak satellite locks.

I thought that I'd post this as it might be of interest to some.

Regards

Matt

These UV reflecting windscreens usually have a clear section near the inside rear view mirror. Take a look at the windscreen from outside, notice it has a blue tinge to it. There is a clear section of the blue coating around the rear view mirror. Mount your receiver there and it should work.

Of course, if you have a BT receiver then you can just put it in the back window. :D
