X Klasse GPS Antenna Problem

My 2017 Mercedes X Klasse with a diesel engine has a malfunctioning navigation system due to a GPS antenna problem after 172339 kilometers. The error memory confirms a lack of GPS reception, pointing to a defective GPS antenna. Has anyone else experienced this?

I had a similar issue with my X Klasse where the car GPS stopped working suddenly. Check the antenna connection in the back for corrosion. Also, have you installed anything new that might be causing vehicle GPS or car navigation signal interference?

Can you tell me where the antenna connection you inspected is located? I want to check for corrosion. Was your error message also about the GPS antenna?

The antenna connection is near the antenna's base, under the headliner. You'll need to remove some trim to access it. My error message was related to the GPS antenna. If you're not comfortable doing it yourself, a workshop can diagnose it quickly.

I inspected the antenna connection and found corrosion. After cleaning the connector, the navigation system works perfectly. I appreciate the help and won't replace the part now. Thank you!
