2002 sc430 nav problem can anyone tell me where/what do the gps antenna connect to

Bgw70

well I am pretty sure the GPS antenna connects to the NAV unit in the trunk.

erosby

the cable isn't long enough to reach the trunk

Bgw70

well where is the NAV unit located?
where is the GPS antenna located?

erosby

the antenna is located beneath the windshield the display is in the dash the control unit is in the trunk the cable is too short to reach the trunk I was hoping that someone who actually knew what they was talking about answered

Bgw70

LoL, maybe they will but for now I guess you have me... ;-)
so is GPS antenna cable disconnected?
do you have any pictures?

i have no gps icon on screen i wanted to know if it plugged into the radio or in to the nav unit

Bgw70

i think you are a pretty funny guy and since I don’t know what I am talking about, do you think these here books might have dem answers you is lookin for?

erosby

yes i'm sure one of them do now be a dear and pls look to see where is the first connection from the antenna is made at tks in advance

erosby

i wanted to know so i would remove the correct piece because i can remove the nav unit with removing the radio or vise-versa

erosby

as far as if the antenna is disconnected i have no idea i had the airbag recall done was wondering if it was possible that the antenna could have been disconnected while they performed the recall fix never used the car gps as i had always used my phone but if it's there i want it to at least function and I like your humor these and dem's

erosby

yes dem there books would have the answer us need

Bgw70

Take a look at the pic. I think the GPS antenna connects to another cable in the dash area.

did you locate the GPS antenna connector?

like I said before, I think the cable goes to the NAV ECU in the trunk.

Bgw70

yes, I would agree that they might have disconnected the connector and I think it may be located behind the glovebox area.

we had a big discussion on what to do before dropping the car at the dealer for the airbag actuator recall.
