Vehicle: 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX STi

Unit: Avic-D3

I installed the unit this evening, but couldn't get the GPS unit to recognize my location. It displays NY, but I'm located in south east VA. IIRC, all the units I've seen in the store display NY, so it must be some sort of demo mode. I did see that there is a shop mode, but from what I can tell, we weren't in that mode.

The car had the factory harness hacked up, but I'm pretty sure that everything was hooked up properly. I did get sound from the FM tuner. I did do the hack for playing a dvd as well.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I forgot to add, if anyone is local and wants to help that'd be great too.

Are you sure you plugged in the GPS antenna firmly? To check, go into the connection status screen and see what it says

It's plugged in all the way. Oh the status screen, it does show some signal - not much, but some.

where is gps ant mounted? is the car outside?

The GPS is mounted under the clock pod (dead center on the dash). Every other Impreza owner has done it that way and it worked. The car was in the garage and then in the driveway.

I did however reset the unit and go for a drive and about 5 miles later, it picked up near where I was. It's still a little off, but it's ok. I think that's how it's supposed to be. Not even a quarter of a block. I'm sure there is something to fix that, but I haven't messed with that much.

Now I need to figure out why it doesn't seem to be very loud. With it turned all the way up, it's not unbearable and I don't have a terrible amount of distortion. The speakers/sub are all run off the amp so I know it's hooked up right.
