Mercedes E 2017 GPS Not Working

[smoke100]

The maps don't move anymore. Maybe the Swedish 2G and 3G systems are down? They're going to switch them off.
Only 4G and 5G are working now.
Or should I run diagnostics on the car and see if it could be a GPS module signal?

You need to replace the GPS antenna in the left mirror. Most W213 have this problem.

Use Xentry to check your antenna connection.

As far as I know, the GPS antenna is in the right mirror, not the left!

In my experience, the GPS antenna is indeed located in the right mirror assembly on the W213.

To remove the mirror from the door panel, the inner door panel must be removed. Once removed, the outer mirror cover must be removed to gain access to the antenna. The antenna wire runs through the mirror assembly and into the door panel, this must be pulled out and a new harness routed in the same manner before reassembly.

No, to replace the antenna you just need to remove the cover from the mirror and you will see it, remove the short cable from the connector and replace it with the old one!

Check your NAV and/or Xentry settings to see if you have any satellite locks. The vehicle must be outdoors with a clear view of the sky. Technically it should show 8-11 satellite locks. If it shows zero, it is definitely the GPS antenna.

Just in case. This is done through navigation (Xentry is not needed). The car was located outdoors, in a place with a good view of the sky. Note that I captured 16 satellites (both GNSS and GLONASS).
