Hi there -

After much deliberation i got a RNSE ( from a trusted seller!).

Install went smoothly, I am getting all functionality of the NAV -except - I am not getting any satellites. I have the GPS antenna outside on the dash - so that should not be an issue.

The nav does show that the car is moving, and tracks the movement correctly - i.e. if i travel north for 1 mile - it shows that correctly. I does not get a fix of the location I am in. It shows 0 sats.

I tried to drive around for 5 minutes, left it on for 10-15, still 0 sats. I reinstalled the gps cable, no change.

Any suggestions? Thanks

sometimes it does that, it'll start registering some satellites after driving a little. if not, try doing a reset by turning off the unit, and holding down the power button until the screen goes blank and it resets... or you can do a hard reset by holding the radio button and the setup button while the unit is on until the screen blanks out. they'll show up.

thanks, I did the reset and also have driven around for more than 10 miles -still 0 sats. I am hoping its the antena. I am getting a new one -so hopefully that will work.

What model of Audi do you have?

Where have you installed the GPS antenna?

 

[exgtinows4]

2004 S4. Right now the GPS is on the dash, outside , right below the wndshield.

Antenna location sounds OK.

Some people have found that the centre pin of the antenna connectors on the RNS-E can get broken off. Have you tried looking closely inside the GPS antenna connector, and check the small gold centre pin is OK?

Failing that try to borrow another GPS antenna from someone/somewhere.

turns out it was the anttena. With the new one I am getting 3-5 sats with the antena inside somewhere
