I just typing "sudo cat /dev/ttyAMA0" in the console and ... nothing ;(

I tried again with the TTL Cable (this http://www.4dsystems.com.au/product/4D- ... ing-Cable/)
1 wire on the RX/RX, 1 on the TX/RX, 1 on the 5V/Vin and the last GND/GND and the same result ... again

Since you will be doing an exchange have you considered a GPS Hat instead of the chip module? It is a good bit less work to get it going.
