well i have said and always said, if you have what is classed as a prestige motor(probably any car for that matter) the you will need to
a, pay for the dealers/mechanics time or
b, learn to do things for yourself and get yr hands dirty or
c, you don't trust the mechanic and want a second opinion.
now your options are as follows:
diagnose the problem with logic i.e if its electrical: check the things that are'nt gonna cost much, fuses, connections etc. this way you can get a good idea if your bieng flanelled and source the part and fit it yourself.
go to someone you trust, friend/family member etc, ask thier opinion.
i suspect tho as you seem to be able to afford quality services, you will take it to the stealer and get the proper reciepts etc.
now you say the sat nav is in the boot, and theres a fuse box in the boot, i suspect it could be water in the boot. check carpets for water. now check the area of the fusebox and sat nav. if not check all fuses and connections, can you hear satnav working/lights on? do interior light operate???
