GPS signal
Hi

My sat nav is not showing any satellites. I think my gps antenna may need replacing. Is the original antenna just above the rear interior light meaning I would have to remove the headliner to get to it ?

I have seen replace antenna on ebay do they just plug straight into the back of the head unit.

Thanks for any help

The GPS antenna is located under the rear of the headliner. You should have the codes read in the Radio (Command).
