Clio GPS failure

Help! My 2020 Renault Clio (gasoline engine) is driving me nuts! The GPS is totally dead. Error keeps popping up, and the navigation system can't find any satellites. I'm guessing it's the antenna. Anyone else had this?

Hey, I had a similar problem with my Clio. No GPS reception at all. Have you checked the antenna connection? Sometimes it's just a loose wire. Has anything happened recently, like a car wash or anything that might have bumped the antenna?

I haven't checked the connection yet, but that's a good idea. Where exactly is the antenna located? And could a defective antenna really cause no signal at all?

Yeah, a defective antenna can definitely kill the signal completely. I thought it was a loose connection with mine, but after checking, I discovered the antenna itself was faulty. It's usually located on the roof, often near the rear. Honestly, unless you're super confident with car electronics, I'd suggest getting it checked by a professional. It ended up costing me around 200€ to get it sorted at a workshop, but at least it's working perfectly now.

Thanks for the tip! I'll have a look at the connection, but it sounds like I'll be heading to the workshop. At least I have a rough idea of the cost now. Cheers!
