Love our XT6! However...have a new warning light after bringing into dealership

We have a 2023 Xt6 14000 miles....

Brought it in to get a warranty fix on a few things.

One of those things is the fin on top being replaced/put back on.

When we got it back...we noticed there is a "CAL" warning on the dash and our Nav doesn't work.

It worked just fine before we brought it in. Now it doesn't.

Did the mechanics mess something up maybe when they "replaced or fixed" the fin(antenna on top?)

Appreciate any insight!

Yes, that fin contains the high frequency antenna that the gps uses. It does need to be calibrated, however you can accomplish that by simply driving the vehicle is circles outside for about 1 min. If it still says CAL on the dash, take it back in. Maybe they forgot to plug something in.

Don’t need to drive in a circle with the newer systems. Calibration runs automatically as you drive

Yeah we've been driving it for about days. We're gonna try the driving in circles thing haha

Shouldn't take long to calibrate when driving.

Can't use navigation with no GPS. If it persists call up and speak to the service manager.

What was wrong with your fin?

Ours seems loose on our XT4, it has a fair amount of play in it if touched, and I'm going to have it addressed when I bring it in for its first service/inspection.

There is absolutely no way to know. We would need the know what the "CEL" (check ENGINE light) says. What was fixed other than just saying "a few things"

Not trying to be mean but we have more of a chance to answer a question like "is my exhuast pipe rusty because a bird pooped on your deck last week" than this randomness

Not CEL, it’s CAL for the compass. It means compass is still calibrating. If it doesn’t - there may be another issue with the GPS/Telematics system

This exactly. Its CAL not CEL.
