Vel Satis GPS Fault

I'm having a GPS issue with my 2008 Renault Vel Satis, diesel engine, with 221798 km on the clock. The navigation system is showing 'no GPS signal', and the error memory has a corresponding fault stored. It seems the GPS antenna itself is the most likely culprit. Has anyone else encountered this and have any tips?

I had a similar problem with my Vel Satis. Where is the antenna located on your model? Mine was under the dash near the windscreen, and the connection had come loose.

Thanks for the quick reply! I believe it's in the same location on mine. Was it obvious that the connection was loose, or did you have to do some deeper digging to find the problem?

For me it wasn't immediately obvious. I had to wiggle the connector a bit before the connection re-established. If that does not work, I would suggest that you visit a workshop. It might be a defective GPS antenna. Sadly, I had to replace mine and the repair cost around 200€.

Thanks for the advice, I will check the connection. If not, I'll head to a workshop, and will probably have to replace the unit. Appreciate your help!
