Nav/Telephony broken

I tried searching the forums to see if anyone else had this on a recent BMW but couldn't find anything useful; apologies if I just can't search well.

For the last several days, my GPS won't get a position lock and defaults to the sea off the western coast of northern Africa. I punched in my manual GPS coordinates and it shifted the map there since the map data still works but it still couldn't follow me around or direct me. Over the same period, the built-in SOS telephony is broken as evidenced by the error lights on the dash. Finally, my bluetooth works for receiving sound (ie the speakers) but the mic won't work so callers can't hear me though I can hear them just fine.

My car (2017 M2 6MT) is stock aside from a BMS clutch stop. It isn't due for service for some time and I'm a fairly busy guy so I'd rather take a crack at this myself on a weekend if possible. Several restarts haven't fixed the issue but I wondered if anyone knows if this is something I can troubleshoot a bit myself. Could it be a loose relay/connection for the shark fin antenna or something of the sort? Any experience and ideas would be appreciated. Thanks all!
