Default GPS Aerial blocked by screen

I have a new (Nov 2014) S8 and want to fit an external aerial for my Road Angel and for my Dart Tag. The screen blocks radio transmission, usually there is an area wher you can mount these devices at the top of the screen by the rear view mirror but this doesn't exist on my car. In essence I can't use any radio device such as the dart Tag ot Sanef Frech toll card - are there any solutions for this

You will have to hold the tag out of the window or sunroof. I had trouble getting a Sanef tag to work and they have confirmed it has to be held out of the window, although it did work on one occasion when it was in the glove box!

Perhaps there is space in the rear view mirror assembly to put a tag where the sensors are fitted?
