reganswan Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 Ok first of all, I am a Pioneer dealer and have been for 13 years. That being said, I am fuzzed by these issues. Did the bypass and it worked...sorda, no audio other than when you touch the navi buttons. It was stuck on mute for some reason. I clipped the y/b wire and I got the audio back but then the navi buttons went away. Rebooted everything, no buttons...touched the y/b wire to ground and they appeared. Went for a drive and the map is way off...like 90 degrees off. Showed we were dog tracking down the road. Customer bought the unit used and had me install it...with a non pioneer gps antenna. I tried moving the antenna around, but it still did the same thing. Any one else have this problem? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thedak1 Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 It can take the unit a little while to "learn" the area or what not so that can be normal. With that being said , if you don't use the specified GPS antenna I don't know if the results will be correct or not. I would see if it corrects itself and if it does not then try using the correct antenna. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
reganswan Posted May 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 I dunno if I buy the "learn the area" part. I have put 100's of pioneer gps units in and have yet to have this problem. I am concerned it doesn't like the aftermarket antenna though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thedak1 Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 Mine had no issues either but that's what the "professionals" say so I just repeated it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sangthing Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 I used an aftermarket antenna on D3 and my map lags about half mile from my actual position. I m thinking about getting switching to a genuine pioneer antenna. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
