Just moved my Z2 from one veh. to another and now im having issues with the gps being stuck. Does anyone have any ideas? I checked the antenna connection and unpluged and repluged it in and still not luck. Any help would be appriciated.

Make sure you reset all the calibration settings...

Thank you for your reply
But how can that be done? Is it somewhere on the menu?

I unplugged the radio and also the gps antena started it back up and hit that reset button up front and that didnt work.

see the manual, page 98 and onwards

you can also try a complete reset, but that clears all music etc. from the harddisk
(page 180 etc. )

Ok I went to use my car today and after doing the 3d calibration now it will not let me delete tracks while iam in motion but it states that the hand brake is on. So I was reading around on the forums and said to do a reset before moving. I did that and then i can delete tracks again but the gps goes wacko again. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Check you gps antenna strength in the settings menu.

I checked that once I do the 3d reset if has 3-4 bars (and originally it was installed professionally on my other veh. they left it right on top of the radio inside the dash) after the little button reset it does not show any. And on the bottom of that 3d reset is it suppose to keep saying system initializing or something of that sort or sensor initializing all the time?

Should i move the antenna outside of the veh. like on the roof? I was just afraid its not weather proof.
Thanks for all your help your help!!!!

Try moving the antenna on top of the dash to see if it makes a difference.

Also take care that the GPS antenna is mounted horizontally, top side up, and preferably on a metal base. Also make sure there's no metal between the top of the antenna and the sky, otherwise it won't receive any satelites. Plastic is no problem.

Ok I will try that this weekend. More then likely I will run the wire up the adverse a-pillar where I run my satt. radio and mount it to the roof. Thanks again for all your help. Hopefully this works.
