Sat nav original retrofit no GPS

Hello everyone, yesterday I implemented the original navigation system on a Free MY2013 by installing and activating the module you see in the picture.

Almost everything works, the only thing that doesn't work is the gps signal .... I can't find anyone who explains how and where to connect the antenna cable, I ask for help from you ....

Looking at the schematics, up until the navigation module is another amplifier module with two connectors: C4MN15A (3 pins) and C4MN15B (1 coaxial pin).
And it seems that in that module the GPS antenna is plugged.

The picture looks like it has an SMB connection (screw on), but you'll need a Fakra connection to link to the IAM.

I usually use something like the link below for retrofits. The magnetic base lets me stick the antenna to the underside of the roof (between the headliner and the metal roof). I did find after about 3 years in one car the antenna magnet gave up and fell off.

Good evening everyone,
I should be able to solve it, it seems that the module only accepts standard GPS antennas, maybe it reads a specific impedance value and the aftermarchets do not respect this parameter ...

in any case, with an original antenna the game is done.

now i just have to activate the dvd function, does anyone have any suggestions?
