Is there metallic window tint or electronic accessories?

YES - Remove tint or the accessories and recheck.

NO - Go to step 2.

2. Go into the Diagnostic mode, and use the "Navi System Link" diagnostic to check the GPS antenna.

Is the "GPS Ant" icon red?

YES - Check for a kinked, crushed, or disconnected GPS antenna wire. If icon is still red, replace the GPS antenna.

NO - Check that nothing is blocking the GPS antenna located under the rear shelf and recheck. Substitute a known-good GPS antenna, and recheck.
