CaveDog Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 New to the forums so hi all. Was hoping to get some input on the dead GPS nav on my d2 unit. It came in the vehicle I bought but has never worked. By all appearances I'm just not getting a signal. Maps work fine, disk seems ok. Getting a speed pulse and if I set the location it will try to navigate by the speed and internal compass but of course it's wildly inaccurate. I've done a hard reset but it didn't help anything. No bars on the GPS antenna display. A couple of times I've gotten one bar and it intermittantly seemed to work but it didn't last. Does it sound like just a bad antenna or has anyone heard similar symptoms with a bad head unit or some other issue? Like to have a clue before I go thinking of buying a new antenna. I haven't pulled the unit out and I didn't install it so I'm not sure on what's connected or how. Not sure if the installer bypassed the brake switch input or not. Could the antenna jack come loose? Is the antenna connection obvious to identify if I pull the unit out? If I need to replace the antenna does anyone recommend a replacement? Thanks in advance for any answers.

VBLUE42 Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Either the antenna is defective, unconnected, or the unit is bad. No way to tell unless you uninstall the unit and investigate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
