Lexus GS GPS Antenna Failure

2010 Lexus GS, gasoline engine. GPS is kaput. Error stored, no reception. Antenna, yeah? Mileage is 214344 km.

Summary of the thread

The GPS in a 2010 Lexus GS was not functioning, with an error indicating no reception, suggesting a potential antenna issue. The problem was a completely dead signal, with no satellite connection. After considering possible causes like signal interference, it was determined that the GPS antenna was defective. The issue was resolved by replacing the antenna at a workshop for approximately 200€.

Had similar gremlins in my Saab. Drove me nuts! Was it completely dead or just intermittent signal? I'm wondering if signal interference could also be a factor before you start ripping things apart.

Saab, huh? Interesting. It's completely dead. Like, zero satellites. Interference, maybe? What are the odds?

Yeah, Saab 9-3. Eventually figured it was the GPS module itself after checking the antenna connection, which was fine. But with a dead signal like that, I'd bet on a defective antenna. Save yourself the headache and get it checked at a shop. Seriously, could save you hours of frustration. I paid about 200€ after everything, so I'd expect a similar amount.

Appreciate the input. Workshop confirmed defective GPS antenna. Quoted 200€. Replaced. Done.
