Take a look at the pic. I think the GPS antenna connects to another cable in the dash area.

did you locate the GPS antenna connector?

like I said before, I think the cable goes to the NAV ECU in the trunk.

we had a big discussion on what to do before dropping the car at the dealer for the airbag actuator recall.
