How's your GPS signal in leon mk3. I park my car in underground parking (-4 level ) and whenever I come out to street it takes good 10-15 minutes to get a satellite lock. But once it locks, it remains 4/5/7 satellites locked constantly and does not give me any issues with navigation.
How much time does your car take to get a gps fix ?
History of my nav unit:
I retrofitted MIB2 High unit in my car, and performed many troubleshooting steps to get gps singal, including....
1. bought 2 chinese fakra gps antenna, both never worked, one worked when I magnetically placed it over the roof outside the car, but it was.not a permanent solution. gps was always 0/16, no satellite fix..
2. bought original vw antenna (pt# 3C5035534F) and bought a fakra cable 5 meters from eBay to install this antenna. ( same situation)
3. I suspected the GPS receiver module in glovebox unit might be faulty, so I replaced the glovebox unit too. ( same situation )
4. Finally decided to buy original VW GPS antenna cable 2 meters ( pt# 000098653 )
After installing this cable the navigation appears to be working correctly, however it takes ages to get a fix every time I pull my car out of underground parking. Anyone knows any hacks/solution to this problem, please let me know..
