Thanks for the quick reply! The issue happened abruptly. One day the GPS was fine, the next it was completely dead. Did replacing the GPS antenna module completely solve the problem, or were there other things involved?

Yeah, sounds like the antenna module. In my case, it was definitely the antenna. Given your description, I'd bet that's your issue too. I ended up taking it to a workshop because I didn't feel comfortable messing with the GPS module myself. They confirmed it was the antenna, swapped it, and everything's been working perfectly since. Might be worth getting it checked by a professional to be 100% sure.

I appreciate the insight. Your experience helps me understand the potential solution better. I'll consult a technician to confirm the cause and get it repaired. The estimated repair cost is around 200€, which is fine with me. Thanks again for the help!

Hey! I drive a Civic too, although it's a newer model. Your issue sounds familiar! I had similar GPS problems a while back. The navigation just wouldn't pinpoint my location, and the system kept displaying error messages. Did this happen suddenly, or did it gradually get worse?
