humblehyper Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Is it normal to have 13-14.5V as my power voltage? What I noticed was it's not stable at 12V, it always trickles between 13-14+ Also, I double checked the illumination wire and it is connected but doesn't dim when I lower the dimmer in my evo x. Please see picture below. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainInsaneO Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 The voltage is normal. The same thing happens in my 4Runner. Interestingly, the first sign that my old battery was dying was the connections status screen, the battery voltage was slowly going down in about two weeks' time. Put a new battery in and I'm running about 13.5 volts. The illumination wire, if hooked up correctly, should dim the screen when the headlights are turned on. Does that happen for you?

humblehyper Posted April 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 No it doesn't dim, I have a brand new car 2010 Mitsubishi Evo and I don't think it's the battery deteriorating. Also sometimes I hear a popping sound like it's grounding on something, only when I'm on the phone with the bluetooth on. Weird. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainInsaneO Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Your illumination wire is hooked up incorrectly then. I wasn't suggesting your battery was deteriorating, rather I was making a point that your battery is doing great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
humblehyper Posted April 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 LOL sorry my bad, misunderstood your response . BTW it does dim when I turn on the headlight. My Avix F90BT response to dimming the dash console, so I thought it does the same too Thanks for the reply Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dustpuppy Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 I have a brand new car 2010 Mitsubishi Evo I wish I had that kind of cash. Of course, I also wish the SHO came in a M/T. I agree with the above, about the only car I know that'll drop to 12V when things are working fine is Honda, who likes to monkey with the power (via the ELD) to get better MPG.

mustang88 Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 I have a question about the GPS ANT does anyone know the difference between the red satellite and the yellow one? just saw it one day and was wondering. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mustang88 Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 Please see picture below. Thanks. In the picture it has a red and yellow sat. The red one always has satellites but sometime the yellow one does and then later it wont. I wanted to know if this had anything to do with accuracy of the GPS. If not any idea why they are two different colors with varying levels of satellites? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
diesel power Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 red means # of satellites that are used for positioning. yellow means # of satellites that aren't used for positioning. red doesn't mean bad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
