MCS Nav Can't Locate Vehicle

Hi there,

I have a 2003 ML 350 with the Bose MCS head-unit, with navigation. The system has always worked flawlessly but since the last removal of the head-unit and re-install, the nav has been having issues. Whenever entering a destination and telling it to load, it displays a smaller screen saying that it unable to locate the vehicle position and that i should drive around a bit. Upon moving the vehicle, the vehicle indicator on the map does not move until a larger distance driven and then sporadically jumps to positions that i have been. I have checked the connections to the unit and am not having any problems with the main antenna on the roof.

I'm not sure what else it could be, any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
