The built in sat nav on my 1.4 Ecotsi FR is lost. It doesn't appear to be the sat nav itself that is the problem - but something is interfering with the GPS signal. The reason I say that is that neither my phone nor my (freestanding) Garmin can get a fix either when near the Sat Nav. Any bright ideas?

An interstellar conflict has begun between the world's superpowers? On a separate note, later today I will be using the car's built in Sat Nav, let's see what happens...

I should also clarify that the problem persists even with the ignition off - which does point to an alien body. However why aliens should be targetting only one of my vehicles is something of a mystery.

No issues on mine yesterday, even showed the 'traffic' correctly...did you lose your aerial by any chance?

No - the radio works fine - but I don't think the sat nav uses the aerial in any case. As I say it must be electrical interference of some sort since it stops my phone and Garmin working in the vacinity - and they don't rely on anything in the car.
