I think factory supplied navs put the antenna in the shark fin on the roof: See item 8: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...94&hg=65&fg=22 I'd guess that your antenna is in the sharkfin - these are hard to get to since you need to remove the roof lining as the fin is glued and sealed. You'll need a 5 metre antenna if you decide to add a replacement behind the dash. Routing the cable through dash, glovebox and down near side sills is reasonably easy but involves removing lots of components in a UK RHD X3 - see my other posts on retro-fitting sat nav to X3. The following diagram is from the sat nav retrofit instructions for LHD X3's: Last edited by davidr; 01-06-2009 at 07:07 AM. |

David, Thanks for the info I believe you are correct and the GPS antenna will be in the shark fin as it is OE fit. I will have a look tomorrow to see if I can get to the GPS antenna via the roof lining. Have you ever had to remove the lining before I have a feeling it aint gonna be easy!!!!!

OE sat nav GPS antenna location
Thanks all the GPS antenna is located in the sharks fin on OE fit sat nav and it was bust. It is too hard and expensive to replace sharkfin so have retro installed a new GPS antenna into the rear spoiler and all works OK.
