cfde76 Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 Just recently I noticed that arrow on my AVIC D2 moves slowly even when I'm at a red light. The arrow will put me past the street before the light turns green. I went into setting and it shows 3 to 4 mph when stopped. Another thing not sure if related after starting vehical for first time in morning the location on my GPS is way off. I have to drive around a while for it to find itself.That was never like that. Any help would be great. Thanks cfde76 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
silver528 Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 do you have the speed sense wire hooked up? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cfde76 Posted October 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 I had a shop do the install about two years ago without a issue till now. So Iwould have to beleive the install was done correctly. Thanks cfde76 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CamelTowing Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 Where is your antenna? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cfde76 Posted October 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 The ant. is located on dash up front along windshield in the center. Its been there for a couple of years. Thanks cfde76 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrailWhale Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 My D1 is now doing the same thing  I have checked all the connections (VSS and GPS plug)  The GPS antenna is on the dash as well, has been since it was installed.  On the "Connection Status" screen sometime I have no GPS signal, and other times I have all orange signal. I also noticed that at times the "Installation Position" goes from "OK" to "excessive Vibration" where I am moving or not.  At times the Vehicle Dynamics screen shows that I am going over 100mph or more, even at a stop.  All of this only occurs when the unit is "cold" ie, first thing in the morning, after a little time it does begin to work normally, even if I turn it off for a time and restart the truck.  I have had it installed in a 2005 Ford F350 for over 3 years and this is the first time any of this has happened.   Is it just time to get a Z3?  Thanks for the help Jason Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CamelTowing Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 I would try going in and resetting everything under the navigation status and letting it relearn. Clear out the distance, speed pulse, and learning status. Might help Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cfde76 Posted October 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 I have tryed to reset the learning and it still does it. Is the vehical speed done through the ant. or the vss. My ant. signal shows orange. Thanks cfde76 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrailWhale Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Alright, this morning I started the truck up and all i got was the "please insert the appropiate disk" message. -I never took the disk out!-  So, after removing the Nav disk and reinserting it, all it would do is give me the message "Please eject the disk and insert the appropiate disk" message. And I could not access any menu.  After about 1/2 hour it finally gave me the map screen, but it was not even near where I was (I am in Florida, it showed Conneticuit) And on the "Connection Stauts" screen, I had no GPS signal, and no speed sence signal. And a quick message at the top of the screen to "Please contact your authorized Pioneer Service Center"  I tried to reset the unit, and it did not improve it at all.  I called Pioneer and they said to ship it to them to be fixed. It would cost a minimum of $250, and be 4-6 weeks.  Should I just trash this unit and get a Z3? I had the F900 and did not like the fact I could not tilt the screen, it gave me too much glare off the front seats. So I need something with a tilting screen.  Anyone else have any suggestions?  Thanks for any help  Jason Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cfde76 Posted January 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Just thought I would throw out a update concerning my problem with my D2. I had a charging issue with my Excursion I replaced both batteries( they were shot. But also changed out my alt(was not charging) . After checking the volt output of new one I noticed It would not charge more than 13.1 and only 12.8 with headlights on. So I took off all cables and cleaned ALL connection in the charging sys. from alt to the battery junction box. My alt now charges 14.7 constantly . I had given up on fixing the arrow issue (figured bad unit) but after I took truck for ride after all the work I noticed the D2 was working fine now . So I would highly recomend anyone experencing a similar issue check gronds/ and charging sys. Thanks cfde76 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
