windshield electronic shielding?
I've noticed that several devices I use on the dash of my other cars (GPS, Sirius radio, etc.) just don't work very well sitting on the dash of the SVX. The Sirius reception goes nearly to zero, but when I hang the antenna out of the window, it comes in very clearly. Same with my Garmin GPS. Any ideas? Something wierd going on with the glass in the SVX that blocks radio signals?

Actually my garmin c330 GPS works fine without problems. It just takes like 1 minute or 2 to actually initialize communication with the sattellites.
