It can take a couple of minutes before a SAT fix is established.
I have seen issues from time to time with these cheap antennas. For me they always worked.
It says, "open" in MIB. Does it need to acquire a signal first before it shows as installed in MIB? I've only tried it while in my garage and without the engine cranked.

You need to have the vehicle in a location where the GPS can 'see' a signal... depending on where the antenna is in the vehicle (how shielded it is) and the structure you are parked in, the antenna may have difficulty or not be able to lock onto the satellites.
Yes update the map first. Plug in your phone and see if AA works. You should see an icon on your PCM screen if it was loaded.
I tried to load the maps today but it was not successful. The display had "searching for updates" on the top after selecting the SD card as the update source but nothing happened. The card looks like this in case that helps:
Check the files on the SD card, in particular the one below, rename it as shown to prevent Automatic Installation when the SD card is inserted.
I did notice that even after doing the install several times the swdlautorun did not have an underscore in front of it. Isn't the car supposed to put that in automatically?
Decided to try this out. Bought a 64gb SD card. Put in my windows computer. Went to format but it's only giving my exFAT as an option. Not FAT32. Will exFat work or should I find an older laptop and try to find Fat32. Someone at work may have one.

Because SD card format and size was recently mentioned... I thought I would ask/mention a couple of things.
Your picture above shows a USB memory device, we are talking about SD cards for the map update, correct?
Now assuming a SD card, is it formatted in FAT32?
Here is my map update SD card, you can see the format of the device, its size and the file structure for reference.

I am not sure why it shows up as USB drive, maybe because the adaptor plugs into a usb port on my machine. It is indeed an SD card and is formatted in FAT32.

Hmmm, So it saw that there was a SD card in Slot 1 but when you selected it, it didn't find the update?
Just another heads up, although I have been successful using a micro SDHC card in an adapter for the map update, I also have had a lot of grief with poor quality microSD to SD adapters failing during the update, so if you are using one, try a different adapter.

Thats right, it just sat on the screen with the wheel turning saying it was looking for the update. It did recognize that there was an SD card in slot one. I did try in slot two just in case, same result. I'll look around to see if I have another adaptor anywhere.
Here’s the nav view of Vancouver today - late 2022 model year. The 3D city view surprised me, not sure if that is new or not. I definitely noticed the graphic improvements from the 2020 car I recently traded in.
