Ducato GPS Signal Loss

I own a Ducato as well, and your problem sounds familiar. The lack of GPS reception coupled with a stored error code strongly suggests a fault with the antenna or wiring. Have you checked the antenna connection to the head unit? Sometimes a loose connection can cause these symptoms. The GPS antenna receives signals from satellites, which allows the navigation system to determine the vehicle's location.

Thanks. I inspected the connection at the head unit, and it seemed secure. What was the specific error code you saw, and were your symptoms intermittent or constant? Did you try any DIY repairs, or did you immediately seek professional help?

The error code I observed was specific to GPS signal failure, though I don't recall the exact code. My symptoms were constant; the GPS never acquired a signal. Given the complexity, I consulted a qualified technician. It appears that the GPS antenna is indeed defective, so I recommend you bring your vehicle to a workshop.

I appreciate the guidance. I will schedule an appointment with a trusted mechanic. They quoted approximately 200€ for the antenna replacement, which seems reasonable. Thanks for confirming my suspicions and saving me from fruitless troubleshooting.
