Hi all,

Have a COMAND NTG1 sat nav wasn't working when I got it. Thought I was in the sea somewhere, then it came back to life for a week and all was good.

Yesterday disappeared again, it doesn't seem to be picking up any satellites?

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Could be your GPS antenna has given up.
I got a replacement from eBay and fitted it under the rear parcel shelf.
You only have to unplug the blue fakra cable from the Comand unit in the boot, cable tie it out of the way and put in the new one.

I have a thread showing how I did it in my W211 earlier this year with some photos that may help.

A replacement antenna like this does the job just fine.
