EQV GPS Antenna Issue

My 2021 Mercedes EQV with an electric engine has developed a fault. An error is stored related to the GPS antenna, and the car navigation system reports no GPS reception. I suspect a defective GPS antenna. Has anyone else experienced this?

Sounds like what happened with my EQV. No GPS signal is like trying to find your way with a paper map these days! Did you check the antenna connection? It might just be loose.

Thanks for the quick reply. Where exactly is the antenna connection located? Is it easily accessible, or does it require dismantling trim panels?

The connection is usually under the shark fin antenna. Honestly, getting to it is a pain; I'd just bring it to a workshop. Save yourself the headache and potential for breaking something.

Thanks, I appreciate the input. I took it to a workshop, and you were right; the GPS antenna was defective. They replaced it, and now the car navigation works perfectly. Repair cost was exactly 200€ as initially estimated.
