Everything else works fine.

I have wrecked the system data and it shows no satellites and no height above sea level so I suspect the aerial has failed?

Does anyone have any similar experience sand mor importantly how easy is it to check the aerial replace it if it is faulty and any idea of cost?

Thanking you in advance for your replies.
There was a faulty batch of roof fin aerials around 2013-15 which caused this problem on some volvos . not a lot just the odd car... you can get a new circuit board inside the fin don't forget the adhesive gasket around the edge... heat up the fin to soften the adhesive to get it off. you will probably have to lower the rear of the headlining to get the plugs off.
