08 C300 UMI Nav+4 "Searching for GPS"
Thanks to some help on here, I learned how to access the Nav feature (UMI+Nav). I got in the Nav menu but the display is just off white. When I entered a destination, it just sat on "searching for GPS" for 2 minutes before I finally cancelled.
I found the UMI box by the passenger knee bolster and I see a blue antenna connection and a purple antenna connection. Are either of these for the GPS antenna?
I get SIRIUS and AM/FM fine so the shark fin seems ok. Is the GPS antenna a separate antenna somewhere?
Thanks in advance

The red one is GPS, the blue one part of the audio wirering to the cu in the glove box. Maybe the GPS antenna has malfunction, it is mounted straight behind the speedo.

Minuszeit, thanks, I suspected that was the case. I traced the wire to the cluster, but couldn't get the bezel off and I'm not ready to accidentally break stuff yet. I might see if I can track down the part number, or find a universal antenna and swap it out.
All of your help is greatly appreciated!
