I went to try to put in a location in my stock alpine wrangler navigation but is has my current location in another state. I took it to the local dealer but they couldn't figure it out. Thought it might be an antenna or something. They restarted my radio/navi system but it still is not showing my location. Has anyone had problems like this? How did you fix it?

Had the same issue after getting my radio replaced. Turned out it was the GPS antenna connection.

Stock navigation is crap anyway. The maps are over 3 years old and they want to charge like $100 bucks to "update" it.

I have this issue in my 2019 JLR. GPS thinks I am about 300 miles from where I am. I also can't input towns/cities, maybe because it thinks I am almost in Canada. Also when my clock is GPS synched it is about 12 minutes fast. Will be calling dealer next week. I know I've had the clock issue awhile, maybe 6 months, maybe more, didn't notice the map until yesterday because I usually use CarPlay.

Not arguing that its crap but I paid for it I want it to work. Especially if I am out of cell phone range.

I took mine into the dealer today, they tried to reflash or reboot the head unit computer, it kept on locking up on them. So now I need a new head unit. Also, because the screen was locking up lit up, it would drain the battery if they didn't pull the fuse for it, so now the entire head unit is dead. I still have HVAC (although I can't see the temperature setting). Thank you Jeep for physical buttons. Dealer said a new unit would be ordered and only take 4-5 days to get to them, surprised both of us, we both thought it might be months.

Again, a 2019 JLR, 25k miles, stock.
