Just a thought but you could maybe test the antenna by removing the connection from the GPS unit and plugging it into the aux antenna of an old tomtom or even most mobile phones have an aux antenna port somewhere behind the battery cover. |

you can just pull the roof lining away from the tailgate end and reach in you will find a couple of connections attached to the antenna. Stephen Gazard

Think OP is referring to the shark fin antenna - non facelift FF's didn't have those did they? |

My 2005 FFRR non facelift has the sharkfin fitted as standard & also the touch screen satnav/tv The reason women's minds are cleaner than a mans mind is that women change their minds more often!

Thanks Stan, When I buy the car, its battery was empty and to recharge it I had to reinstall everything, and since then appears the lines
