Default RNS-E Not finding satellites?

Hi everyone,

I recently bought an 08 A4 Cabrio, which is my first Audi. I'm loving it so far. I decided to buy an RNS-E to replace the SII+ that came in it. I purchased the RNS-E off Ebay (from someone mentioned on this and other forums), and I installed it. As far as I could tell, the installation was basically plug-and-play from the SII+, though I moved the k-line wire as suggested in various install guides. The unit powers up, and plays AM/FM/CD/SD just fine. The problem is that I wasn't able to get the GPS to work. In the Nav-Info screen, it always indicates 0 satellites, and won't even show me a map. This happens even if I put the GPS antenna outside the car with a clear view of the sky. I tried both antenna inputs, and I even bought a new GPS antenna thinking that the one sent with the RNS-E was bad, yet I'm still not getting any GPS signal. Am I missing something here?

Thanks in advance for any advice anyone could provide...

Five minutes after I posted this, I figured it out. Being the idiot that I am, I had the GPS antenna plugged into one of the radio antenna inputs. Thanks anyway!
