mk4 is lost

Hi
I have a mk4 but sadly it lost its way
I was driving around everything ok and suddenly it didn`t no where i was anymore("shark fin").
Now a week later it works again ... but still no sats.How is that possible?
No coordinates.
With the list of 8 sat the second row are all 0
Almanak (?) says no
gps tells me that there is interf.
I updated to v3.1 but that didn`t fix it now i lost my splash screen only when i turn the key it suddenly appears(did i something wrong?)

Anyone knows what is wrong?

Easy to do yourself, it's very simple

All you need is some torx drivers and a small spanner.

There's only 2 x parts to the GPS receiver:

tuner and antenna

You said you tried another antenna and it didn't fix it
So it must be the tuner

Elementary, my dear Watson

You don't need an answer from me because when you take the lid off your eyes will tell you everything - it is very obvious.
