I had a Tiguan that went exactly that way. It was finding 2 from 15 satellites. Bought a new Fakra aerial from the bay. It was a little magnetic box with a long cable. I managed to find a place to put it behind the radio on a metal bracket. Problem instantly sorted and all for about 7 quid. Dealer wanted me to buy £120 latest disc before he would even look at it then probably £50 an hour after that. No chance. |

on my 09 reg there is a reset instruction for the sat nav in the hand book,used after the vehicle is transported and it loses its sense of location. |

Mines out of date, doesn't recognise when I'm on the new, NDR, 4 miles from home just comes up as a field. If I could update for £25 I'd do it, otherwise I'll live with it. |

Dear All people that have replied to my original post and made comments/advice. I saw none of these until now. Sorry. The site doesn’t prompt me when there is a new post. The problem has now got worse, the touch screen doesn’t work. The satnav after my service will not stop giving directions, still in Belgium. At service, garage suggested new touch screen £1,350! Anyone know of any coders or what type of electronics person i would need? I thought that could be a good starting point. |

Thanks for your reply. It flicked back a month or so after my original post then was intermittent between Brussels snd London for a while and now continuously in Brussels. Added screen problem now so can’t switch it off. |

It might be worth looking at some of the Android alternatives that are starting to appear.

The simple answer is to buy a Garmin or Tomtom - at least these will have upgraded maps every three months (for free) I doubt that yours has ever been updated so will have Sept 2012 data maps. MY13 HSE Lux Santorini Black Gone

Wot CJOver said. TomTom regulary update maps, speed cameras, speedlimits, electric charging points, places of interest and also show filling stations, car parks and has lots of useful features that LR satnavs either don't have, don't work or are way out of date.

I have been in touch with my local LR garage and he has sent me a JLR document - LTB00642v3 - Navigation System Defaults To A Regional Location _ TOPIx

Excuse me perhaps asking a silly question but if LR have reported this as a known problem to their dealers, at what point does it become a free repair to the customer? |

Because they are bloody crooks, that is why! It is a sorry state unfortunately. |
