Tipo GPS Antenna Defect
Summary of the thread
A 2022 Fiat Tipo experienced a GPS issue with an error indicating no GPS reception, suspected to be due to a defective GPS antenna. A suggestion was made to check the antenna cable connection to the GPS module, as a loose connection could cause similar issues. Ultimately, the problem was resolved by replacing the defective GPS antenna at a certified workshop, restoring the navigation system's functionality.

Where is the GPS module located? Is it easily accessible?

The GPS module's location varies, however, it is often integrated within the head unit, or behind the dashboard. Due to the nature of integrated navigation systems, I would advise having the antenna replaced at a certified workshop. The repair cost should be in the region of 200€.

Thanks for the info! I brought it to the workshop, as suggested. The GPS antenna was indeed defective. Replaced it, and the navigation is working again.

Indeed, the error points to an antenna fault. Have you checked the antenna cable connection to the GPS module? Sometimes a loose connection causes signal interference, presenting similar symptoms as a defective antenna.
