Thanks for your help on finding the hidden menu and diagnosing the fault.

Can some confirm if the IDrive hidden menus are available in ID7? If so where does the service menu appear please.
Having the same problem on a 2020 X3 |

Press the "Menu" button to reach the main screen, then press the iDrive controller in the up position for 8 seconds. Rotate it three clicks to the right then three clicks to the left Then one to the right One to the left One to the right Then press the controller knob again. Your iDrive menu will show a new option, "Service menu" at the bottom

"No GPS Available"
Thanks for the thread. I have the same problem as the OP - map showing me in completely the wrong location. I accessed the hidden menu, but instead of the 'Check Antenna' message, I have 'No GPS Available'. Could the cause be the same problem with the antenna? How would I be able to diagnose this?

My 2018 X3 M40i (G01) started losing position a week ago and I thought it was just an accuracy problem. Kept putting me just off the motorway, the way it runs for a few seconds when you ignore a motorway exit.
Today it got worse and finally failed. Got directional orientation OK but location is now stuck at 100 miles away. I've just gone into the Service Menu and got "GPS Status: Check Antenna" too. I've had a look at replacement parts and can't find a definitive part code but it looks like the G range (G01 - X3, G30 - 5 series) all use the same electronics platform for comms and nav. Pricing from ebay seems to be around £65 for reclaimed units but not had a chance to get a dealer supply and fit price yet. |

These are a few of the antenna part numbers listed for an X3 G01... 65209291484 65208794527 65208795961 65208795963 If it were me, I'd just buy a new one rather than a reconditioned one... just for piece of mind and less hassle if it turns out to be faulty or goes wrong in a few months or so.

Thanks, I’d read a post referencing the realoem site. I’ll need to dig out my original order to work out the options.
It’s in for a brake fluid change next week so may just end up with the “just fix it” conversation 😂 Would you mind sharing what the two parts you fitted cost? |

Hi, did you solve issue with GPS? I have same problem with my 530i last 5 days. Strange that it stopped working for me before the end of the year too.
thx for replay. Pavel |

Well the car is in at the moment and first off they have stung me for £200 to upgrade the software before they can do any diagnostics. The service advisor has just rung and said they want to try a donor antenna to see if that is the problem and also recon it could need a new TCB even though the only error is saying the car is past the TCB service date.
I downloaded the telematics car data archive from the BMW portal last week and couldn't see any codes relating to the GPS system but a couple relating to the DAB antenna. |

Yes, the shark fin cover needs to come off. The Telecoms box behind the headliner needs to be disconnected from the antenna. The Antenna is screwed in from the top.

Following the £193 for a mandatory software update before they would carry out any diagnostics, they have quoted £650 for replacing the GPS antenna. £73 for the part and the rest is labour including colour matching the replacement shark fin. Apparently the fin and gasket are a single unit. Plus the £93 for the original brake fluid change and a bit of discount, £847.59 in total...
Nothing I can do now about the software update charge but I've just ordered the antenna plus a TCB battery for while I'm in there. Has anyone else had this where they insist on charging for a software update before they will do any diagnostics? |

I have the same problem as you with the navigation system on my F20 LCI(2017). When I entered in the hidden menu I got this message “no GPS available” Can you tell me please if you found the solution for this problem? |

Glad to learn about the hidden menus and that there seem to be solutions to this problem. I have never had a GPS problem with either of my BMWs, but I did once in my 2016 Corvette Z06. We were using the nav system to go from our home up into northern Wisconsin. Up around Sheboygan we were on the freeway when all of a sudden the nav screen went blank of roads and simply said "Off Road", as if we were Four Wheeling. Turns out, just after the the nav system was made, they built a section of the freeway we were on where rural roads and farmland had been before. The nav system simply didn't know; it thought we were in a cornfield. Once we got in to our destination city it recovered and was accurate from then on. --Bob

I'm not sure about a G20... maybe someone has found a way and posted it on the G20 forum
