I just got my avic installed and the nav arrow is side ways as I drive. I have tried the compass and it is still off. If I change the view to street view it shows side ways as well. Anyone seen this.

FYI, I did the motion hack. I don't know if this matters.

Is this a new unit or a used unit? Also, check your satellite signal and see how strong it is.

new, and its strong

are you sure you pressed the red/white compass while on map view?

Yeah, it changes but the arrow is still pointing the wrong way.

How much have you driven it since you installed it? Sometimes it takes a few days worth of driving for the nav to figure out where it is and get accustomed to the car.

Not much, I will monitor over the next week.

mine did the same thing... is you VSS wire hooked up? If not, it will be sideways like that.

I assume the vss wire is hooked up. Isn't that part of the motion hack? I am drawing a blank on the VSS wire for some reason.

the speed sense wire, i believe its the pink one.

No, the VSS wire doesn't have anything to do with the bypass.

What do you connect the vss wire to. Maybe I missed this one.

You connect it to your vehicle's speed sensor wire.

To check if it's hooked up, go to the 3D calibration screen in the nav settings menu and if you drive the car, the number next to speed signal will go up with your speed.

Or another method, go to the nav map, hit the map button again, and select vehicle dynamics. A screen with some dials will pop up, the center one being a speedometer. It will show your speed if the VSS wire is hooked up. If the wire isn't hooked up, it will not register your speed and stay at zero.

You might want to try both methods, as I can't quite remember if the speedometer gauge also uses the GPS signal to get the speed reading.

If you find that it is not working after you perform those tests, take it back to the place you got it installed and make them finish the job.

thats the problem your vss wire is not hooked up correctly.

It is not getting better. Maybe I forgot to hook up the VSS wire. What does that connect to?

The wire depends on the car. What type of car do you have?

The VSS wire is the Vehicle Speed Sensor wire. It connects to the wire going into your dash where the spedo gets the signal it uses to display your speed.

I drive a 2008 Toyota Tundra.

Does anyone know where the vss connects to for a 2008 Toyota Tundra?

Have you tried doing a reset on the calibration and maybe on the unit....??

I ran with my VSS unhooked for a while and had no issues

The speedometer on the map works off of the GPS because I don't have my VSS wire hooked up and the speedo does work. I don't have any issues with which way my arrow points though.

How do I reset the calibration?

At the menu that shows your calibration mode of simple hybrid or 3d hybrid.... there is a clear button next to it to press....

I do not have the VSS hooked up and have no issues with the arrow, nor the Pioneer gauges working. As was said, try resetting.
