so my nav is off like nobody's business. i'm in fort lee and it shows i'm in Pal Park (town down the hill). I thought it was just a glitch so today i disconnected the nav and waited about 5 minutes and plugged it back in. No dice. it still shows i'm in BFE. So what do i do now? all the connectors run on the side so does this mean i have to take the whole rear carpet out to get to some of the connectors? where's the antenna and the antenna booster? can someone take some pictures (point with finger would be fine) as to where i should check for loose connections? email or post is fine. Thanks!!

Thanks!! | Hmmm. If you have a MK II unit, it has a separate GPS receiver and NAV computer. If the NAV is working but the GPS is out of whack, it will run on inertial guidance only and develop more and more of a location error over time.
That's about all I know, however - hopefully someone with a MK I/II can chime in with details.

If you look at the back of a MK III or MK IV computer, you'll see 2 ELO connectors (blue and purple) and a coax connector that runs up to the GPS antenna (which is mounted in different places depending on the car model). Here are some PDF files that may help.
