eb50 Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 i installed my avic d3 yesterday and it was working fine. I unhooked the harness to clean up some wiring, and when I hooked it back up, the nav says I am in NY (I am actually in NH). This actually happened yesterday but it resolved itself. Is there anyway to force a recalculation of current location? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cougarstang Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 I found that if you drive a few blocks and restart the car once or twice, it figures out where you are. Not sure if there's any way to force a rescan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

VBLUE42 Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 It will get worse. Your unit is breaking down. This happened to two of mine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wh05apk Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 I've been suffering this intermittently for about a year now, I am in the UK, but map shows me in Paris, has been stuck on this for 4-5 days VBLUE42, you say 2 of your units have done this, do you mean the radio itself or just the gps aeriel?

VBLUE42 Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 The GPS. Your unit is defective and it will get to where it wont update to the correct location. At least, thats what happened to my units when I had them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wh05apk Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 Thanks vblue, that's what I was hoping, I have already ordered a replacement from thiefbay, so hopefully that will resolve, although I reset the unit earlier and it has started working again..............

Wh05apk Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Replacement gps receiver came today (less than a week from China - very impressed) fitted this morning, seems ok, will try on a trip tonight, if this has sorted it, I will be very happy as it was only £8.30 as well!

Wh05apk Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Well, I am now back in Paris! after working for a couple of days, I thought it was working, but it has now gone back to saying i'm in paris, so looks like the unit itself, is there any way of re-flashing/updating the software or is the sat nav side effectively dead?

gtnumber2 Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 I had this happen to me, try dragging the map back to your location and see if that works. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wh05apk Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 GTnumber2, tried your suggestion, and it seemed to work, but a few minutes later I am back in Paris again. I am also getting an onscreen message saying it is updating (from where I don't know) occassionally which normally fails, but when it works still no different. I am starting to think the actually unit head unit is dying. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wh05apk Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Think I may have found a solution, or at least a partial solution, I changed the language, then changed back to English, this forced it to reload the software, since then it has been much better, only losing briefly for a few minutes, have not used the car much since doing this, will do approx 250 miles at the weekend so will test out then.

VBLUE42 Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Once again guys, its defective and will only get worse. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wh05apk Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 Vblue once again, are you saying this is the GPs aeriel or the actual radio unit ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 It is internal to the unit. And what is an aerial? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
