JRT Posted June 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 easy fix, just turn your antenna around ....er-hem....just kidding guys...rly bored at work. Why I adda!!!!! I was really wondering if it mattered which way the antenna was facing, but i guess it doesn't matter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HiFiSi Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 The orientation of the antenna shouldn't make a difference. Have you tried resetting the unit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CatchMeIfYouCan631 Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 The orientation of the antenna shouldn't make a difference. it doesnt at all, i was just adding some humor to the thread. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JRT Posted June 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 I got your humor, hence the "Why I adda." HiFiSi, yes I have reset it several times. What are some of the things that might cause the unit to think it is going a difference direction? Does the unit have internal gyros or does it work soley on satellite signals?

HiFiSi Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 If it comes down to it, you could try replacing the antenna. If the antenna cable got pinched or broken somewhere, while it was in or being removed from the other vehicle or during your installation, it might not be sending a good signal to the receiver.

JRT Posted June 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Ok thanks. I think the first thing I will do is put the antenna outside of the vic and see if that makes a difference and then go from there. Thank you guys for the assistance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JRT Posted June 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 YES we have success!!! The problem was that it was in 3D Hybrid calibration mode. My brother truck had the VSS wire in the harness and I remember reading in the manual that you had to have that wire to be in 3D hybrid mode. My bro realized that could be cleared and the unit went into simple hybrid mode…boom after a few traveled miles it is balls on accurate!! Put that one in the memory banks fellas incase someone else has a similar problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HiFiSi Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 That's what I meant by resetting the unit. To clear out all the info it gathered from calibrating itself to the other vehicle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It works really good now. Enjoy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Do you mean with the reset button? If so I reset it many times, both with the key off and in the acc postion. I also set it back to factory from inside the menu options, It never cleared the calibration information. Yes Balls on accurate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HiFiSi Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 I guess I should have been more accurate, lol. If you go to the 3D calibration screen, you can clear the three values individually (distance, Speed pulse, and learning status) by touching the corresponding button and hitting CLEAR.

JRT Posted June 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 I wish you would have told me that two days ago, that would have saved me a lot of grief...LOL. I thought you were talking about the reset button. We finally figured out lastnight how to clear those values out as you mentioned. No biggy it is all good now, thanks for the help.
