NAV upgrade question

Hi guys, i've been trying to find some info but having hard time.
I installed a euro NAV in my 04 CLK5 and the GPS is not functioning very well.

I got a cheap GPS antenna from e-bay and i think it's not very good, barely gets a signal while under the dash, will have to mount it somewhere else, but when it does get 3 or 4 satellites it updates the location like once every 20 or 30 minutes. the map actually never moves. Any ideas?
Do you know if speed censor needs to be connected separately or is it already prewired in CLKs?

Everything you need should be there, including antennea, so I'm not sure why you bought one? Are you certain you need it? I retrofitted my 03. Didn't need anything except STAR system to activate.
