iPhone X losing GPS signal in the phone dock area

[astrowunder]

I just use the Car's GPS instead of the phone at this point

Problem solved. No more cubby for me. I agree it's not the wireless charging in the cubby. I thought it was at first. It fails GPS very randomly.

I know I am posting in the wrong forum, I have a model S...

Model 3 folks have the same issue.

I just looked there are two mount location options for Model S. They both look pretty good to me. Not sure how much it varies by year.

Model 3 owners have a better Proclip option. I hate the model S option of covering the 17” display’s bottlm right buttons and making it impossible for passsengers to use that screen space either .

Where are folks keeping their phones mounted to avoid the GPS signal issues?

No issues here.

I have the same GPS reception problem. Picked up a Garmin GLO, and it helps but still have issues in the middle of the cabin. Works great next to the drivers side window.

I've since switched to Google Pixel 3, can confirm this phone doesn't have the issue.

Also just switched to a Pixel 3 (XL) which solved all of the bluetooth issues I was having with various Samsung devices. Car instantly unlocks with no failures and I maintain a stable audio connection for calls/media when driving...FINALLY!

However, I have been having terrible 4G/3G/1X phone reception in the charging cubby. I've used multiple devices and all of them start cutting out mid conversation. If I pull the phone out and hold it around the center console, reception returns, but as soon as I move it back to the charger, signal drops considerably. We've been using a cheap ebay Qi charger and I'm hoping it's the culprit. Just pulled it and replaced with OEM standard plug dock. Fingers crossed there isn't something else in that area causing signal interference.

Any search for cell reception on Model 3 returns people talking about the car's LTE ATT connection...not the mobile phone of the occupants.

I have the Tesla wireless charging pad, and I don’t lose signal at all.
