Hello
There is very little information about the GPS antenna.
But to make a start at one end, remove the radio and find the GPS connector on there.
You can try a temporary GPS antenna to prove/disprove that, which can save time, all assuming you can find a GPS antenna with the correct connector. Luckily they seem to be standard fittings.
There are several radio options fitted to the A51 Citroen C3 so the removal is similar, but not identical to the others. But the same idea applies, just get the right radio removal keys and use those to unlock the stereo. You can then remove the stereo to find the connectors on the rear.

HelloC3CAR couldld you check which radio I have vin is VF7SC8HR0BA504557.
It will probably be easier to remove the radio and have a look at the stickers. It's not so easy to check by VIN at the moment. Citroen restrict access quite regularly
