TempleJazz82 Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Hey guys- I have XM NavTraffic with my Avic N-3. Friday night, it was working perfect (actually got me around a huge accident). I went up to New York yesterday and it stopped working. The button on the bottom right of the screen is gone where you can push to get traffic updates. It is weird. Nothing changed connection wise. My normal XM works, as far as the radio goes (Ron and Fez were still very funny). Anyone know why this might have happened and what I can do to fix it? The status says "OK" and the signal strength is "Very Strong". Again, nothing changed connection wise or anything. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whtcrxghst Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Have you contacted XM to make sure everything is ok with your subscription? If they say its fine, ask them to refresh the signal Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TempleJazz82 Posted January 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 I did talk to XM. They said everything was fine, and they would need to resend the signal, but I needed to keep the car on for 20-30 minutes to have it work. I guess this is accurate? I am gonna try it when I need to drive for that long. I was in my driveway and did not think I had 30 minutes to spare. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nymustang77 Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 I'm having the same problem with my AVIC D3. I also called XM (and stayed on hold for 20 minutes). They sent a refresh but my traffic is still not on. Does anyone have anymore ideas? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TempleJazz82 Posted January 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 I just tried resetting the head unit, and it seems to work. I am little concerned though cause it takes a while to start up and the address search is not working 100 percent. I am lost. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TempleJazz82 Posted January 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Well, I reset the head unit after I took off the face, reset the XM unit, had the signal resent and it works fine now. I am curious though, what do the "Browse" and "favorites" buttons do? They are greyed out and I never noticed if they were before? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nymustang77 Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 How do you reset the head unit on the AVIC D3? Also on your front menu on the D3, does the traffic icon show as an option? On mine its greyed out and its been like that since I bought it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TempleJazz82 Posted January 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 I have an N3, not a D3, so I would not be able to help you there. Try this though- unplug the Data out cable, reset the XM unit, rehook it up, have them resend the signal. After about 20 minutes, it should work Quote Link to post Share on other sites
superjet Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 You can refresh the signal yourself. http://www.xmradio.com/refresh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mchristsen Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 This has occured to me several times. I will be driving along, on route, with NavTraffic. After a while, the triffic just stops. Not speed lines ont he frreway, no Traffic Events, no Traffic Flow. If I want it back, I have to turn off the car, wait, and then start eveything up again. Aling with this, I have experienced no sound on XM. So I think it has to do with the quality of XM Tuner. M Quote Link to post Share on other sites
