2018 Ram 2500 gps issues

[johnddavisjr]

Curious if anyone has tried an auxiliary antenna or the global positioning sensor replacement(just stumbled across this sensor and starting to research)

I have been trying to avoid a radio replacement or aftermarket radio

I've used a $10 antenna from Amazon that works but you loose SXM.

i saw a dual antenna spliter from infotainment that may then allow for both.

Did you SXM work and you not have gps signal?

I don't recommend Infotainment. You can also get the splitter on Amazon. Give me a second and I'll post links. I know it does work, but my SXM reception has always been sketchy so I'm not sure if it works "well"...

could you send a link to the gps antenna you used as well

If the page presents you with options you want the FAKRA connector option.
