hello I have an avic-d3 it was working fine till I installed XM satelite radio now the direction arrow keeps jumping around,and also at one point the arrow was going away from the direction I was heading hopping you can help me out here.... ummmmm also I clicked the button "modify current location" and it allowed me to point my arrow in the proper direction however it does not seem to keep the location it seems to always change for some reason...

It's possible that you knocked the antenna wire loose from the rear of the unit when you were plugging in the XM tuner.

Did you install your radio beyond the 5 degrees of centerline? If so did you adjust it in the programming to allow for this?

ummmm not sure if it fixed the problem but xm antenna was roughly a foot and a bit away from my nav antenna so I unplugged the xm antenna and i'll see if this helps the problem ..... if it doe i'll put the xm antenna somewhere else.... does the xm antenna put out a big signal maybe there too close together and it's affecting my gps???

hello ummmm when I disconected the xm it seemed to fix the arrow being sideways when I go down the street however the gps now thinks sometimes i'm not on the street that I am and it keep on jumping more than before???? just wondering if I should just get a new antenna ????
