RetroFit Done, GPS Issues

Good Morning, Finally got the NBT Evo working in my 320d, all coded and working thanks to shawnsheridan friend, so thanks. Only issue I have is the GPS doesnt seem to work, I moved the GPS connection from my Business Nav (HUENTRYNAV) to the EVO but doesnt seem to locate me? I dont have the Combo box I know people mention I have the Telematic Control Module in the boot. Am I missing something silly?

Are you sure that your Evo has a GPS connector?
Because most Evo do not have a GPS connection because it is connected via TCU or ATM.

Ah OK, then it's right.

You can now check the setting GPS_FROM_NAVI if it's set to active.
If it's active you can also try to set it to nicht_aktiv.

Found it changed this
SYSTEM_GPS_RECEIVER to aktiv
GPS_FROM_NAVI to aktiv
ADAS_GPS to not_aktiv
TELEMATIC UNIT change from ATM to off (So it fails over to GPS attena)

What touch control do you mean?
The controller with touch or the display with touch?

Sorry I ment the controller with touch, change the programming to select TCP instead of ATM, but still cant access online services, I assume this is normal.

Did you also install the touchbox which is needed for the touch function?

I assume this plugs into the back of the headunit? and where is the best place to mount this?

There are 2 places where the TBX was mounted in different years.

Up to 06/2016
https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/f...lim/1VnY0KRpXj

From 07/2016
https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/f...lim/1VnZAc1ILW

Here an overview for the connection
https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/f...box/1VnXXpwdRW

And here the wiring diagram for the Touchbox and controller
https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/f...ler/1VnXPoUex4

After installation both ecus (controller + touchbox) have to be coded.

This cable looks good.
Because the touchbox and the controller have exactly the same connections.
