Default Showes wrong position on nav audi A7

Hello, i have a problem with my position on navigation on my audi a7. I happends after the car was not driven for 3 weeks because it was on sale. And i wonder what to do? Have somebody had this problem that the navigation shows that the car is many miles away from ther the car actually is? I hope somebody can help me out with this problem! I have read about take out the nav unit and wiring connector but where is this on the car? Thanks!

Need some more facts. You say "it was not driven for 3 weeks because it was on sale." Did you just buy it? Did you buy it from a dealer? What year is it? Based on what you provided above, I would say take it back to the dealer and tell them the problem. Is it still under warranty? Did you buy it from a private seller? If so, take it to an Audi dealer. Last thing I would do at this point is remove anything. Like I said, I think the forum needs you to elaborate more.

I bought it from germany and import it in to sweden, it is a 2011 model 245hp tdi, i had it for sale on a company for 3 weeks before i take it back. And after that i had problem with navigation. It locates my car another place. Te navigation is working but not where the car is, many miles away!
I had it to a audi dealer they say it wrong code on antenna, but they are not sure eather they need to take the car and see it and se where the problem is. I read on another forum that another guy had the same problem and he did take out the nav unit and wiring connector for a good reset and plug it in again then it worked! So i dont know what to do

Personally I would take it to the dealer and let them fix it. If you feel you are skilled enough to remove the unit and wiring and work it yourself, I would say go for it, but I wouldn't. Good luck!!

No, never have. Since you bought in in Germany and brought to Sweden, could the maps which are loaded be a different version from Sweden? I realize that could be a stretch but just wondering.

I would at least attempt to recalibrate the sat nav. Simply find an open space and drive the vehicle in a 360 deg circle 3 or 4 times. Could be a simple fix. Worth a try. Enjoy the ride.
