CamelTowing Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Is the antenna on something metal? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CamelTowing Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Sounds like you're not getting good GPS reception so either its in a bad spot or you have a bad antenna. You can check how many sats its picking up in the connection status screen Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CamelTowing Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Go into the connection status screen and look at it. How many sats are you picking up? Pull out of the garage before checking Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CamelTowing Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Its in the nav menu. Take a look, some useful stuff in there Quote Link to post Share on other sites
393stroker Posted February 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 ok, i'll try that and see what i got. i hit the reset earlier and now it's reading that i'm in the right place, but just not moving anywhere when i go for a ride, it shows that i'm still at home. i don't need to hook up the vss wire do i? i never had it hooked up on my old d3 and it worked good. thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
