56 plate clk 220cdi coupe
Hi there guys. Ime struggling to find the gps amp on my w209 56 plate 220 cdi coupe. The command doesnt show any satellites and keeps showing me ime driving across feilds or puts me on the wrong roads. Any idea as to where it is positioned as its driving me nuts. Cheers

I don't know exactly where your GPS antenna is located but I can tell you you'll need a new one.
I had exactly the same symptoms in my E55 last year. No satellites, map showing me in a different location.

I got a new one from eBay and fitted it myself. I made a thread you might find helpful assuming you have Comand NTG1 fitted to your CLK.

Thakyou AMGeed. Yes it is the ntg1 in the car. Fitting this wont affect the phone will it . Ime guessing that must work off another antenna or booster as the phone works fine. Ive only caught the mercedes bug in the last 12 months so am finding out how to look after this car myself slowly . Have bought a diagnostic tool to help but seems difficult to find any workshop manuals or wiring diagrams for my vehicle for any future problems that may occur. I will order one of the parts you suggested. Many thanks.

It doesn't affect the phone and you can leave the old antenna in place.
Its a pretty easy job to do.

Many thanks AMGeed. I guess it just plugs into the back of the command unit . Via taking out the ashtray and control panel to access the command unit. Job for the weekend i thinks. Glad i joined this forum. Thanks again

A CLK will not have NTG1.

Up to model year 2004 the CLK had Comand 2. MY 2005 onwards it had NTG 2.

Easy fix with a replacement antenna. Secure it under the dashboard on top of the clocks so it can see up through the dash and glass to the sky.

^ Do you have any symptoms of the car not running correctly?
Is it a stored or current fault?

How is the condition of your battery?

Car is running fine and battery is ok . Its saying permanent fault. Just wanted to check it out at source too. R.e the new gps aerial fitted and still no altitude and no satellites so ime guessing either faulty command or no satellites over devon these days. Lol

Once the GPS antenna has been fitted, you need to slowly drive down the road with the nav on whilst the satellites are picked up.

Mine did it within 25 metres.

I wonder if its been positioned where the satellites cannot be picked up?

I put it on the roof while i had everything out and drove probably half a mile down the farm lane. . so took it off and put everything back. Ile plug it in again tomorrow and put it on the dash for the day and see if it picks up any thing. It must of had another ariel at some point as there was 1 plugged in and another unplugged taped in with all the wiring.

Well i put the new antenna back on today and its keeping me on the road and longitude and latitude are correct but still no satellites ort altitude showing so i guess ile have to live with that unless anyone has any more ideas why it wont show them. Maybe command unit issue. Who knows
