scrupul0us Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 so ive had my D3 installed for a couple weeks now... and today on my way home i noticed that as i was passing side streets the screen was a bit off... so i checked my hardware info and low and behold it says my GPS isnt connected... so i check the connection and it is in there just fine so i asked a buddy if i could try his cable on my unit when we installed his and bingo it worked... so i have a bad GPS cable... i bought my unit @ circuitcity and have a 2 year plan on it... how would i go about getting a replacement? id hate to have to spend 60 here: http://parts.pioneerelectronics.com/par ... um=CXC4864 to replace an antenna that is only a month old Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cntrylvr79 Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Take it back to them, if they installed it odds are they'll swap it out for you. If they didn't install it, you might run into an issue depending on what the antenna cable looks like. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scrupul0us Posted May 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 i installed it... the cable looks fine... there just a small bend in the one section where it enters the car... and the manual said to make that lil loop to create a drip leg if u will to avoid rain seepage i doubt CC would have that cable on hand as a spare part (maybe im wrong)... either way i also emailed Pioneer parts about the issue Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scrupul0us Posted May 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 well i pulled the entire antenna today and found that another section was literally cut... looks like it got pinched in the hatch hinge (oops)... so i just cut two ends soldered the center core, shrink wrapped it, then soldered the shield braid.... works great now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
