Re-radiating GPS antenna. Put it in the boot, or under the wiper grille cover, then run the cable into the car and away you go.

Conan has one, though I think he's since put the gubbins into the position of the original GPS aerial as he uses TomTom.

Yup. Bought one of these and spliced it into the ariel on the boot. Works a charm and can run multiple GPS units of it.

I had heat reflecting windscreen on my 1997 S8 and GPS did not work unless I stuck it to the drivers door side window which have been replaced with normal window. Windscreen was in the bad shape witl lots of scratches, pits and chips, I was lucky enough to get a brand new Genuine Audi windscreen from facelift A8 for £40 on e-bay( best offer down from £50 buyitnow ).
