I need some help really bad!!!

Hello gentlemen!

I figured this would be the best place to post my dilema - I hope
someone here can help. Here is my problem: I have recently (2 days
ago) bought a new car - A dodge Magnum RT with every option available:
Navigation, Sirius satellite, Blue tooth...etc. I am a realtor in Los
Angeles and I use my laptop almost everyday out of my car. I have a
VERIZON Anywhere PC card, a PCMCIA card with a magnetic antenna if I
need to locate a WIFI spot in order to send property pictures...and of
course the built in WIFI from the laptop. For the past 2 days I cannot
connect to anything - it sees the networks it connects, but I cannot
upload or download anything. I went crazy - I bought a new laptop -
same thing, I bought a new network card - NOTHING! However, today, out
of desperation - I tried logging on from the car while it was turned off
(completely off) Guess what? I can connect, download upload etc just
like before! As soon as I turn the key in the ACC position/ignition I
lose the connection! What is causing the interference? Is it the
SIRIUS antenna(on top of the car) the NAV system??? On my last car I
had a aftermarket XM radio and it worked, it had NAV and it
worked...What can it be? Please help....

You need to pull fuses on the cars devices until you isolate the one causing the problem.

What did Verizon say when you called them? I am sure they have seen this
before ....

Bluetooth and WIFI can seriously interfere with each other. Turn off the
bluetooth in your car.
