GPS Amplifier; how to run the wires

Hello
i bought a gps amplifier like this one
https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B07V65B6G...&psc=1
with the windscreen special layers my smartphone does not catch gps signal when near the dashboard; works decently if put in the can holder near the gear change button
what do you think is the easiest path to run wires from roof to inside the vehicle

Receiver at the back quarter light on the RHS - above where the fuses are.

Cable runs above all the doors, then down by the side of the windscreen to under the steering wheel where the SIM connector is. You can test things by getting power from the USB there, but I ran power across the dash to the fuse box.

The (re-)transmitter is placed just above the dash at the corner of the windscreen where I have the TomTom.

This is with a RHD car of course.

Good luck! L405SC just arrived... still working everything out!

I tried one of theses to improve the GPS reception on my dashcam with no luck. It’ll be interesting to know if (hopefully)
you succeed.

For what it’s worth, I had no GPS reception whatsoever on my TomTom (new model) before doing this. So was essential for me with the heat reflective screen.

Spend a long time researching and there’s just not much info out there. Most of the info I got on the repeaters was from a trucker(!) forum a mate of mine pointed me towards. L405SC just arrived... still working everything out!
