Under the "hidden" menu for the NAV unit, I see the following:

Lat: = 0
Long: = 0
Satellites: = 8
GPS Status: = Reception Interference

Does anyone have any suggestions?

thanks... josh

Hello Josh,

that's happen to me twice so far.
In addition to "Reception Interference" message I do see that GPS ver is 000 so my understanding is that for some reason it doesn't boot up correctly. No way to recover it during the trip - damn.. why BMW has not put a "reset" function accessible from the maintenance menu??
Btw, everything get fine after a car stop (>30min).

ps: my 3 serie is equipped with mkIV running 27.1

Cheers!
