My first thought is maybe all of the electronics near the dash is causing the connection issue.
Good points. I'm nearly certain it's a faulty unit. I've continued testing this week and the connection issues really just seem random. And when it does finally connect and search for satellites, it never finds them. I've even tested it away from the electronics of the car, I have a portable 12V jumper power supply with cigarette lighter plugs and tested it inside on the kitchen table. I know the reception of the GPS might not be good inside, but I was trying to figure out the connection problem first. Still having "no GPS input" problems, again randomly. It will connect and search, then drop connection, then reconnect, etc.

The main issue I had was the GPS enable box was not checked.
In the programming, the GPS enable boxes are checked for the sites/groups I want turned on/off by location.

I have my GPS box at the rear window.
Just curious, where you have it mounted at the rear window, is it face up, or is it in another orientation, say, mounted sideways? I read in one of these threads that it matters which way the puck is facing.

Thanks for the reply.
