he can probably reprogram the dongle for you if you stick it into the pc first. then put it into the usb in the car. he can check it / reprogram it if necessary. it has to be 2.0

Had mine done this afternoon. Thanks @Seth K ! Everything went smooth. @simaservis1108 was awesome to deal with! Wish there was something like this for my 997.2 ![Wink](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)

Why do you want a secondary antenna? Granted, Waze winds up using the phone's GPS because their software developers couldn't be bothered to use the correct APIs, but I find that the phone - at least in my car (it's a Pixel 3 XL) - still gets perfectly adequate GPS coverage, and it doesn't seem to be a problem. So why install a nasty-looking wart when you don't need to? And if you really need to use the car's GPS antenna, google maps uses it.

Also regarding the bolded, AFAIK Google maps would not be using the cars GPS antenna, it would use the GPS antenna in the phone.

My situation may be unique, or at a minimum not usual... The GPS antenna I am referring to is not for the phone or the factory installed PCM, it is for a standalone installation of Android, heck it doesn't even use the North American satellites but rather GLONAS! ![Big Grin](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
