Default GPS not functioning
I have a 2012 A7 which the GPS suddenly went haywire. It says I'm off road and shows me in the wrong location.

I had the same prolem, replacing the antenna on the roof fixed it. Replacement antenna has to be painted to match the roof!

I had the same problem. replacing the antenna is pretty difficult and costly. just order a FAKRA antenna from ebay (10-15$), plug it in and place it in the glovebox. works like a charm
