Maybe a bad antenna.

Do you know where the antenna is placed?
It's located on the roll bar. To get to it, you need to remove the sound bar.

Thanks, I will check it and I will check also if the nav device has any missing connection. Mabe there is only the connector unplugged...
Any chance your Jeep is still under warranty? If so, I might have your dealership give this a look first.Thanks, I will check it and I will check also if the nav device has any missing connection. Mabe there is only the connector unplugged...

Unfortunately the dealer is too far away from me...I will try to fix it by myself.
This is not a such of big issue, I can still use the apple car play but it is annoying me

It's all built into the radio/Nav screen. The entire thing is called a "head unit".

ok, clear. This can be expensive...is there any way to check it or is there any trouble-shooting procedure/hard reset that I can try?

I just looked at your info. I don't know if the info I have holds true for a 2015 JK, but on a JL/JT a hard reset of the system can be done by taking the battery leads off the main battery and completely separating the leads on the negative block (battery smart controller) and hooking everything back up after 15 minutes. After doing this, it can take up to 48 hours for all updates to happen.
But, most people who have Nav issues either end up going through company that handles the NAV/SAT radio account (Sirius in the States with a side of it through AT&T) OR by getting a new head unit. Unfortunately for you there is no warranty coverage on the head unit.

In this case, try the hard reboot.

The quality of the Jeep's built-in navigation is pitiful compared to a cheap Garmin 7" driving GPS. I have mounted a Garmin GPS since shortly after I got my Jeep. Regardless, redundancy is a good thing. It is good to have everything working.
