Problems with GPS

My car is barely 2 weeks old. I'm on the business navigation.

The GPS tracking is very erratic. Sometimes it works fine. Sometimes it shows I'm 1km away from my actual location. Sometimes the tracking error comes on immediately and sometimes it goes crazy after 30mins. Bottom line, I use my iPhone Google maps while driving and I thinks it's silly.

2 trips to the dealer had not been conclusive. They updated the software etc. but still the problem persists.

Since it's still under warranty, do you think I should suggest them to change the GPS antenna and cable? Is the GPS antenna the shark fin? Can I try DIY to remove it and ensure the connection is good.

Just to update that the problem sorted itself out after a while, after Bmw online when live.

Not sure if the 3G signal helped with the location services.
