Sat Nav

[Skoper]

The Sat Nav on my 03 Superb has stopped receiving a sat signal despite there being 30 available. Working one day not the next. Is it dead? Any ideas?

30 available? Sounds a bit high to me...

First thing to try is a "reboot", so disconnect the power plug and leave it for a bit. Then it's a case of checking software versions, but as I'm not too familiar with the DX perhaps someone else could offer more advice.

Assuming it's hardware related, I'd check the connection to the GPS antenna at the back of the unit, if that doesn't work I'd bet on a new antenna.

Thanks Bluefox.

I will try and find power plug!

I took latest DX CD out and tried earlier version then replaced newer version, still nothing.

Is the DX unit a retro fit or was it fitted like that from the factory?

Do you have a GPS antenna base on your roof aerial?

For a change, I'll slightly hijack this thread

Do you, Baker? How did you get around it if not?

As I retro fitted my DX unit you basically plug in a little GPS antenna that you can put anywhere you like, mine is behind the glove box on the front cross member......

If this user has one of these then there may be a problem with that part, or if it's an OEM aerial mast on the roof then has this been tampered with by a car wash or anything?

It was factory fitted I assume. It was on it when got it at three years old! Seems the dash will have to come out to get at anything!

If that is the case and you have a proper OEM Sat Nav based aerial on the roof then there must be a connection problem or an aerial problem..........:(

Baker's right about the aerial, but I think you'll find you can remove the stereo with Kenwood or JVC release keys.
