Hey, thanks for your feedback. Your experience sounds similar to mine. Do you happen to remember how much you paid for the repair? And how has it been with your sat nav since then? Has anything else besides the broken antenna come up in the meantime? Thanks again for your support!

Hey, no problem, always happy to help! The repair to the GPS antenna cost me €200, so it's not a small price to pay. But since the mechanic was done with it, the sat nav has been running like clockwork, not a single failure. So far, nothing else has come to light that could be defective in any way. So all in all, I'm very happy with it! Hope that helps you!

Cool, thanks for the info! It's good to know that your sat nav has been running well since the repair. 200 is an investment, but if the sat nav runs smoothly afterwards, I think it's worth it. I will probably make an appointment with a mechanic and have the antenna replaced. Thanks again for your help!

Hey, I can understand your concerns. Had a similar problem with my 2019 Ford S-Max. Didn't take long to figure out that the GPS antenna was faulty. Quite a nuisance, especially on longer journeys. Last time we were in the garage, we replaced the whole thing. Not exactly a small job, but afterwards the sat nav worked perfectly again. One slip is not a trend breaker, maybe you'll have better luck next time. All the best with it!
