    anyone else get poor GPS signals on iPhone while in their 4Runner? Seems like both my wife and I's signals keep getting messed up but haven't had this in our other vehicles.

    What do you mean by signal? Like the amount of bars or Bluetooth connectivity?

    I mean GPS specifically. Like Waze and Google Maps keeps thinking we're on another street or something. Just strange that it only just started happening to us in our new 4Runner.

    Maybe try it in another vehicle to see if it is just the runner or it is the phones?

    My son had the same problem with GPS on his phone, turns out that the window tint that was installed on his car affected it. Don't know if that is your problem but just a thought.
