No GPS Signal
A lot of good information here, but I couldn't find a specific answer to my prolem so hopefully someone can help me out!

I recently bought a 2000 M5 with the MkII GPS and I'm not getting any signal at all. I thought about upgrading the software to V32, but it's indicating 2-1/81 now, which from what I've read here is the last update for the MkII... No satellites are showing active in the display upper right. When I go into the hidden menu, the receiver status is showing RECERR, the PDOP/HDOP/VDOP are all reading zero and Almanac says NO. The map discs I have are dated 2008, but I'm assuming they're compatible so I have to think it's a connection problem or a bad antenna.

Can someone recommend some troubleshooting tips or tell me where the GPS antenna is located?

Thanks!

Dead GPS antenna

Under the rear parcel tray lining. Remove back seats, parcel tray lining to access.

Or maybe antenna cable not fully connected to the nav or the antenna.
