GPS Reception

GPS Reception
Hi everyone-
My navigation says it can't find the satellites. It has a red line thru the GPS at the top of the menu. I replaced the GPS antenna and it found the satellites once, then went back to no satellites. Anything else I should try? I've looked in the diagnostic screen, and it just tells me it's not seeing the satellites. I've gone thru the recalibration, but honestly I don't know what I'm supposed to calibrate to, and it doesn't help. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Govtslug

Year? Same symptoms, 2011 XKR: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...av-gps-138114/ Probably a short circuit somewhere or a bad connection or ground. Or a bad navigation module.
See this TSB S419-15 from 2004 for the S-Type, but it might not work for our X150 models: http://www.jagrepair.com/images/TSB/...n%20System.pdf See Page 2, GPS mark does not disappear from screen (unable to receive GPS signal).
As a last resort, you may have to calibrate your wallet to your dealer's cash register.
Good luck, and keep us posted.

If that doesn't work, the GPS antenna may be corroded and intermittently inoperable, and need replacement. See: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...ru-gps-214750/

Here's the part:

If you have any questions, ask them in the thread linked above. I have not done this repair.
I found the answers to your questions very quickly by using a Google search.
A difficult choice.

Hmmm,, similar to the situation on my boat and my portable GPS receiver: If a 'lesser' number of satellites are sourced, a restriction in accuracy results. Identified to the viewer with the icon (assuming the receiver is successfully operational) I suspect that is the issue. (For instance, Garmin did have a global failing last week)
Which has me wondering... is there a way to display the number of satellites sourced?
The 'bump' on the boot lid is the satellite radio antennae.
Cheers.

Thanks Gang. Appreciate all the help. The replacement antenna is not too expensive, but a lot of work to remove it. For the best GPS reception, its best to have it outside of the car.
I expect that the shark antenna on the top of the trunk lid is the Sirius XM antenna. I got to the hidden menu in the Nav screen. The second screen shows the satellite connection status (for each satellite). The STS column (I expect stands for Status), cycles between P/T/-. I would expect that the “-“ means no connection With LVL being the power level. Sometimes, all the satellites LVL=0, STS=“-“. Within a few minutes, they flip to “P” and LVLs in the 70’s and 80’s.
More to come.

Gang,
Interestingly, I pulled the CD out and re-inserted. Upon turning the car on, it immediately saw 14 satellites. Drove for about 15 minutes. Parked for 30 minutes. Drove the car and quite quickly, lost all the satellites. I’ll try pulling the fuse next. With it seeing the satellites, with good power levels, I would find it hard to believe that it’s a corroded gps antenna.
