My car is a 04/04 build and I would like to retro Nav. I have no idea if I have option 6UA or not. I will be in for the recalls in a few weeks and will have the dealer check. But I have to say that I am a little confused...

In what I have read so far, option 6UA connects the GPS antenna in the shark fin. But when I am in the BMW Assist menu on i-Drive I can see my cars position in longitude and latitude and this is constantly updated as I drive. Does this indicate that the GPS antenna is conected? Is there more than one antenna for GPS?

Sounds like the GPS antenna is connected. You can call your dealer or BMWNA and ask if you if you have the 6uA option. Just give them your VIN#.
