Hi all, a couple years ago I noticed my GPS acting up. the car thinks im a couple hundred miles north of where I am (sometimes in Lake Erie lol) anyway... has anyone had this problem? I also get TERRIBLE gps with my phone in the car making it also almost unusable. Any ideas for a solution? Honestly the car nav doesn't bother me, it was not great from the factory

Thanks!

I replaced my GPS antenna a few years ago after it kept doing that to me. Fixed the problem right away. It's pretty easy to fix too. Just take off your visors, pull the upper windshield trim toward you, disconnect the dome/map lights and the antenna is right there.
