Looked into this further and it does look like the roof antenna does not work for the '15. When I put the APIM into diagnostics mode there is no GPS signal with the spliter. But then I put the aftermarket one on and it shows a signal. Still weird that I drove all around this evening with the no GPS icon and it did routes no problem. I'm wondering if the APIM stores data around the current GPS location. Guess I didn't drive far enough.

Also, I think the IPC direction going back and forth is unrelated to this as I parked a on an angle to see if I could get it to make it change between to directions (n or nw) and it did with either antenna hooked up. So i'm thinking the roads that I notice that on are on an angle that makes the compass go back and forth.

What do you think the significance of this is? Signal strength only?

the signal strength pop up is completely blank when using the splitter with the factory '15 antenna. but when I put the aftermarket one in. it will show like 10 bars for different satellites.

I think i8iridium is right about the '16+ having multiple frequencies in the GPS roof antenna

quick question...

I took the mounting brackets off the MFT sync 2 screen. I seen that some people had to modify the brackets to work, but mine seem to mount up directly to the Sync 3 screen with no issues. Can anyone else confirm this is possible? Maybe my old MFT was a later build and the brackets are more standard into the sync 3 switch over.

Thanks

yes if you have flat sides on the screen and swap to one that has flat sides they will match right up without modifying

I have both the splitter and the '16 gps/sirius antenna on order. We'll see what's up with this when they come in.

I don't even know if the 2016 antenna will fit on a 2014. This is just an experiment right now for my 2015. Your easiest solution will be an external GPS antenna that can be mounted under the dash like shown in my first post.

Received my the antenna and splitter today. Maybe I'll get some energy to do this today.
