Hi,
I have a problem with a MK IV that seems to drop all tracking of the satellites at random times.
By dropping the satellites i mean that the GPS text and the images of the satellites goes away from the screen, sometimes it will come back instantly by itself other times i need to pull the fuse for it to some back.
The unit is tested in two cars, the results are similar in both (one -04 X5 and one -00 e39).

The unit that loses the satellites also has much worse reception than another MK IV unit, this is a bit uncertain however, i might be comparing apples to oranges here since the working unit is currently in a -04 car, and the "bad" unit is in my -00 e39.
I am not sure if the newer antenna in the X5 could make up for the difference in reception strength or not.
The bad unit originally came from the X5, then it started having issues and i decided to test it in my car.

If nobody has a good idea about why the difference in reception is so great then i will try the bad unit in the X5 again during the coming week.
(Did not think about the reception since the problem we knew about when it was in the X5 was that it was losing connection).

I am also unsure if the problems are related or not

I attached two screenshots to show the differences in reception, the cars where parked less then 1ft from each other when i took the images.
Both units use the same firmware (v32).


I have searched but was unable to find something similar to this problem, any advice for me?
