Default Newbie GPS question on vRS

Hi all

I'm due to collect a new diesel Octy vRS next week. I use a snooper and a tomtom 510.

Am I likely to need the gps booster aerials for them (like I do on my Citroens) or does the Skoda's windscreen allow the gps through?

Thanks in advance,

Phil

My roadangel and tom tom both work fine in my vrs without an aerial, so you should be fine.

The Octavia doesn't have the metal film in the screen like the Citroen.

No probs in the Octy. My Peugeot was a nightmare.
