MFD2 ariel problem
« on: June 18, 2011, 09:44:33 am »
Hi all,

Have been having problems with my MFD2 regarding my position on the map (says im on the coast of france  :scared:) and i thnk i have found the problem.. I noticed when taking the unit out that the GPS ariel lead was a bit squashed.. Maybe this is the problem..

Does anyone know where i can get a new ariel lead from and how much of a B***h is it to fit?...

Have bought the update disc so i know it isnt this and the current software is up to date ( thanks to alex perkins for helping with this  :happy2:)

Any help would be much appreciated as everytime it comes up the girlfriend reminds me i havent taken her on holiday this year  :fighting:

New GPS aerial is £10 on ebay, and when refitting just put it in the vent at the top above the MFD2. You dont need to replace it in its OEM location  :happy2:
