Sat Nav issue

[crocodile]

I picked up my new used  skoda Octavia VRs ( 11months old and 4000miles ) on Friday from skoda dealer and Ive a problem with the sat nav it cant seem to get a satellite connection , in the maxi dot display it says "No position data " . Anyone out there any ideas Ive put a call into dealer service department and they are calling me back tomorrow , but until then Im hoping its just a minor issue with maybe software , as otherwise im loving the car . I had a 10 year old mark 1 Octy Vrs a few years ago and i loved the car was heart broken when i had to sell so decided to  indulge myself and get a nearly new mk 3 and so far so good .  

Thanks for any suggestions i have had a search throught he rest of the forum but cant seem to find anything specific to try

Hi Croc, two things it could possibly be - 1st, is the navigation SD card in the marked slot inside the glove compartment?  

Another forum member had his GPS giving incorrect positions, it turned out to be a loose connection on the shark fin antenna (on roof at rear)

Sd card is in the slot closest to the passenger door is that correct? 

Never thought about the aerial will investigate tomorrow. 

Warrior 193  thank you for your help.

Took car in for dealer to have a look today and  they think its the antenna need to get it booked in so they can replace it . you would think that would be something that would be easy to establish before i collected the car wether the sat nav worked or not .

They really don't give a ****. None of them. They just want our money.

Picked up car from dealer and antenna all sorted so back to how  it should have been when i first got it .
