Mercedes A Klasse GPS Navigation Problems

My 2002 Mercedes A Klasse, gasoline engine, with 110938 km is giving me grief. The navigation system is completely lost, zero GPS reception. Error memory shows a GPS antenna fault. I'm pretty sure the GPS antenna is buggered. Has anyone else run into this? Before I shell out 200€ for a new one, any thoughts? Is it the GPS module instead? This car GPS thing is driving me nuts!

Sounds familiar. I had a similar issue with my A Klasse's GPS signal. Have you checked the connections to the car GPS antenna itself? Sometimes it's just a loose wire.

Good shout! Where exactly is this GPS antenna located? And by connections, do you mean the ones at the antenna itself or near the GPS module?

It's usually on the roof, near the back. And yes, I mean both ends of the cable. Honestly, though, if it's showing a fault code and you've got no GPS reception, it's probably a defective GPS antenna. Is it worth the hassle of checking everything? Maybe just bite the bullet and get a new antenna installed at a workshop.

Thanks a million! I had the antenna replaced, and the nav system is now working perfectly. The error code is gone too. 200€ well spent! Appreciate the help!
