terron Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 Is English your first language? You said you had it installed; did you take the unit back to the shop and tell them they fucked up? Who undid the bypass? Surely not the shop that installed it because seriously, who would go out of their way to undo something they themselves have no business meddeling with? Be more specific about the GPS not responding, your didn't yield much in the way of useful information to diagnose your problem with Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aren't the bars supposed to be blinking? On my 700BT's GPS page I have 3 blinking green bars.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WilliamG Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 According to the manual, 3 green blinking lights is good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
