Today is day three of my 986 experience. I love this car more every minute I own it!

I have run into a little problem. I bought a Garmin 660 GPS unit. One of my favorite features of it is the FM transmitter that sends the sound of the GPS to any FM station on the radio. I quickly learned that the weak Garmin transmitter only transmits about 2 feet. Apparently this isnt far enough to reach the boxster's antenna to provide a decent signal.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Brimech
