StaticFilter Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 So my GPS is screwed or something. My NAV doesn't know where I'm at and if i set my position manually, it gets lost within a few days and shows me driving through city blocks and in the mountains etc... Isn't there a way to make it find it's position via satellite? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If not, perhaps there's a bad connection, or a defective GPS antenna. You can also try resetting the calibration, that often helps in cases like this.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StaticFilter Posted June 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 any detailed steps i might take to do this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StaticFilter Posted July 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Gather anything from these pics? When i try to reset calibration, it stays on "Sensor Initializing"... what do i need to do? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jwq Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 According to the last screen, you seem to be receiving zero satellites. Unless your car was parked inside a garage, either the connection to the GPS antenna could be loose, or your GPS antenna is screwed.....(assuming it was working before) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EssTEye Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 I am having the same problem with my Z1. But instead of what you are experiencing, I am getting a message on my hardware screen that says, "NOK" after the satellite section, with a message that states that there is a problem with my antenna. I am going to buy a new antenna and see of that helps, I would recommend you do the same, an aftermarket, non-Pioneer model is going for about $10 on eBay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Have you double checked that your antenna isn't just disconnected? NOK can also mean that the wire is unplugged. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EssTEye Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Well, it's really weird, because it started working again mysteriously. It found exactly where I was and now shows 10/12 satellite connections. I was actually just about to pull the unit out and check the connection, but I'm gonna leave it alone until it does it again, or I have to pull it out for another reason. Thx for the suggestion tho and I will check that next time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
