GPS Extension to extend the module

[Mechanikos]

I'd like to know where to get a 12" extension for the GPS connector. What is the type of connector?

I believe it may be a 6 pin micro jst 1.0mm connector. I ordered this to confirm. Copy and paste this link.

If you add an extension be sure to twist the wire bundle to reduce interference from other electronics.

I did, that's why I'm asking. I'm going to try to fabricate one myself.

Awesome, thank you ! It definitely looks like it. I cannot seem to find a male / female extension though. More soldering I guess.

I was also unable to find an extension cable. Just have to solder on the female connector to make one.

The stock GPS install is very good since it uses copper foil tape to shield multipath signals.
Any relocation will still perform better with a metallic shield under it.
