GPS status: Receiver Error ???????

[blk133]

Hey guys, my OEM 16:9 all of the sudden lost. It shows that I am about 10-15 miles away from my house, even though I am parked right next to it. The little window at the top right has no green dots (sattelites). I also tried to disconnect it from the power and reconnect it back in 1 minute, but the issue is still there. I went into the service menu and here it is:

almanac: No
Visible: 8

wheel sensor: 0
satelites: 00
GPS status: Receiver Error
Gyro: 2500-2503 (Either or)


Any ideas?

Thanks!

Software gremlins perhaps. I had similar problems on and off with my 2002 4.4i. About two years ago my GPS took a vacation for about 5 weeks for absolutely no apparent reason. It came back on it's own and has been fine ever since...go figure.

looks like the problem with MKIV displaying Receiver Error started in Feb, 08 and keeps on going just like Energizer Bunny.

Hi,
I don't own a X5 but have had similar problems on my RR.
First if you install a back-up camera under the rear spoiler, it will be close to the GPS antenna and if the camera wires are live, it will disturb the GPS antenna and give a reciever error.
My problem was a broken antenna extension cable; when connecting The GPS antenna directly into the MKIV all worked fine.
I hope this information could be of some use.
Regards

Dealer changed a navigation computer as well as antenna on mine.
