2019 Model 3 GPS Antenna

[Mike_NoGas]

As I have weak signal Wifi and GPS in my garage. I have started do some research about antenna location.looks Wifi and LTE are on the passenger side mirror, however couldn't find anything about GPS Antenna. Would anyone know where it is?

Thanks

What would change if you knew where it was?

It's in the windshield camera pod, behind the camera.

Maybe buy a cheap booster and install near to it

I thought it is there but I read somewhere it is on roof between the two window pieces

Is that an actual product you've found? Or just something you assume exists?

Two window pieces?

It's definitely in the pod with the temp/humidity sensor and forward facing camera. It's closest to the glass; you have to take the camera out and disconnect harnesses to get at the antenna.

I guess we all have different definitions of cheap. $1,799 + you have to get a license from the FCC to use it.

I like when people waste time to say stupid things. Because stupidity is the ultimate First World Problem

I know this is expensive but you have asked me if such a product exist so I paste first website from google search sorry!. There are couple options of GPS signals, like jammar or SDR, or some active GPS antenna etc.

FYI: The car doesn't actually need GPS to know it's position. It's quite capable of doing dead reckoning if the GPS signal isn't strong enough , i.e. in parking garages.

Not being sarcastic here, but what issue is encountered when GPS signal is weak in your garage? I'm genuinely interested in knowing.

He has a really big garage.

Just install a skylight assuming you don't have more house on top of your garage

Don't know but each time I get out of my garage I drive maybe for couple minutes until my GPS start catching. Also Man I'm bored as hell with stay at home

First I'm curious, second when I leave my garage my GPS took a while to catch things up and don't like it, third bored as hell with stay at home
