Nav stuck on Starting...
My X3 went in for new leather on the driver's seat, I got it back 2 days ago. Today the Nav flipped into "Starting...." whilst I was driving. It's as though there's no GPS signal.
The driver's seat was removed for the leather to be worked on (it's a UK car so I'm talking about the RHS); I'm wondering whether the GPS antenna cable runs near the seat and might have been disturbed. Does anyone know what route the GPS cable takes?

It started working the next morning. The outage was for about 30 mins. I'm keeping an eye on it. Possibly it was a strange glitch with the GPS ephemeris data. I'll have a better idea when I use the car today.

Tbe good news is that the Nav is working. Hopefully it was a glitch. The garage had my car for 6 days, they probably disconnected the battery so the software may have been in an unusual state.
