jimmy 2 times Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 So i just installed my D3 into an 08 corvette. I hooked up the VSS wire, (and in the calibration screen) in moves and beeps as the speed increases/decreases. Does this mean that the VSS is hooked up correctly? Also, it doesn't matter where I put the gps antenna on this car, I can not get better than 2 orange/green satalitte things lit up. This is wierd to me because i have the gps antenna right next to the sirius antenna (which are know pieces of junk) I have installed a few for other customers cars in the past, and I never had problems with the GPS in this area. But for some reason in this car, i can not get a good signal. Do you think I may have a bad antenna? Speaking of the antenna, it is in a circle (not bunched up, or tightly zip tied) Also, I am using a Scosche Kit, and the bolts are tight, but every once and a while, I am getting the excessive vibration, any cures for this? thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jimmy 2 times Posted December 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 since when? In my last car, i had an N2 with the gps right next to the sirius antenna for months before i removed it. I always had full gps bars Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cntrylvr79 Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 It can happen. Have had issues in the past with the 2 interfering with each other. Is the gps antenna mounted on a metal surface. If it's not is the metal plate it comes with being used? If no to both, then that could be your problem too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmy 2 times Posted December 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 yes, it is on a piece of metal about 6 inches from the siri antenna. I am gonna disconnect the sirius for now, and see if that helps. do you think I should reset the unit as well? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
