Twingo GPS reception failure

My 2012 Renault Twingo with a diesel engine shows "No GPS reception" on the navigation system. Error memory indicates a defective GPS antenna and the mileage is 46426 km. Is this a common problem?

Sounds familiar! I had a similar GPS issue with my Twingo. Same symptoms: no signal, error code pointing to the antenna. Have you checked the antenna connection? Sometimes it's just a loose wire.

Thanks for the hint! Where exactly is the GPS antenna located in the Twingo? I'd like to check the connections before replacing it.

It was hidden under the dashboard near the windscreen, like trying to find a needle in a haystack. If you're not comfortable digging around, I'd recommend visiting a workshop. It cost me around 200€ in the end.

Thanks for the help! I checked the connection but found nothing. I had the antenna replaced at the workshop for 200€. Now it works again, so the antenna was indeed defective.
