Idrive Satnav issue

Hi

I recently had to replace my idrive, screen etc. I got all the parts, all the original loom was still in tact on the vehicle apart from one of the wires to the screen, and the blue FAKRA for the satnav.

I managed to solder the screen connector back onto the screen cable, this is working fine.

The blue FAKRA one I am not sure, the housing was pretty damaged from when I salvaged it, and not sure a good job has been done connecting the plug to the cable.

Everything works fine apart from the satnav being greyed out in the menu, and saying "starting navigation system...." and "function currently not available"

I am assuming the connection on the cable is not good, it was working fine before I replaced the cic, so it cant be the aerial.

I have not yet coded the idrive to the car, but I plugged it in and it worked, had my phone connect back automatically etc.

Would coding the idrive fix the satnav issue possibly? If not then it will either need a new connector, or run a whole new cable through.
