E500
Navigation Phone Home, Please
The navigation on my 03 E500 lights up but suddenly stopped showing it receiving any satellite positions or altitude information. Pointer on screen now shows me about 40 miles into the Atlantic Ocean and car pointed the wrong direction. Tried turning GPS off and on, disconnecting DVD player, and ejecting disk. All of the wiring appears to be well connected on the DVD player and the unit is reading the disk. Any suggestions of what to check next?

What does the satellite status info show, is it just "-" or does it indicate zero satellites seen, or does it still show a good number of satellites seen even if the shown location is not correct?
I assume it is the GPS antenna, a failure is not uncommon.
