Have a read of this thread: http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=94765.0

Bottom of page 1/top of page 2 are the instructions to get a 2013 into diagnostic mode so it'll tell you how many satellites it can see. By the sound of it your symptoms may match Robs - i.e. it can see the satellites (diag mode will tell you) but won't lock on to them as it can't read the nav CD.

CD could be the laser.  I still have your old one here, could swap the top cd mech over?

Is the GPS in top left going green/amber/red?

That connection at back is likely if diags reads 0/0 for satelites.

If it reads 0/8 for eg, RobG had similar, and it was the disk/laser.
