XC90 GPS Issue

I'm having GPS issues with my 2016 Volvo XC90 diesel. The navigation system keeps saying 'No GPS reception,' and the error memory has an error stored. I'm thinking it might be the GPS antenna that's defective, anyone else had this problem? Mileage is at 46886 km. Super frustrating!

I have a similar Volvo XC90, and I experienced a similar problem a while back. Did you notice any signal interference before it completely stopped working? Have you checked the GPS module connections? It could also be some kind of software glitch but I'd assume the antenna first.

Signal interference, not really, it just suddenly stopped working one day. Where exactly is the GPS module located? I haven't checked any connections yet, but knowing where to look would be a massive help!

Okay, given that it stopped suddenly, a loose connection or faulty GPS antenna seems even more probable. While I can't pinpoint the module's location in your exact model year XC90, you may want to take it to the workshop. It will probably cost around 200€.

Thanks for the advice! I took it to the workshop. Turns out, as suspected, the GPS antenna was defective. Replaced it, and now the GPS is working perfectly again! Cost me 200€ as you predicted. Appreciate the help!
