D3 Address Search not working?

Please pardon me if there is a thread on this. I did search for it but was unable to find an exact fix, going a few months back.

 

I noticed the other day that my Address Search button is now "grayed" out and is no longer available, hence I cannot address search. Anyone know what happened? The nav unit still tracks where I am and such, so it must be getting a signal. And this is while stopped, not while in motion.

 

Any help would be great!

 

Thanks, JR

Chec to see if you have the right state picked

Where? I can't even select the address search area to put the state in. I'm confused (surprise, surprise)...

Is your parking brake on? Are you using a real disk or a burned one?

NO parking brake. Original disc (no apparent scratches).

Put the brake on

It doesn't work when stopped or moving, i.e. when the parking brake is on or off.

 

PS - I successfully did the e-brake bypass right when I put it in a year ago, so that has worked fine for that long. I checked all the wiring and everything is still solid.

i actually just joined this sight becuase i am having the same problem, my unit has been bypassed and everything works 100% until a few days ago i noticed that my adress search button is also greyed out, although i can still "go home" and also navigate to previous destinations!

...exactly the same for me. I can still navigate by physically moving the destination (by touching the screen), it just won't let me enter an address.

Okay, so to a degree, I stand corrected. It DOES work when the parking brake is depressed. However I can still watch movies while in motion. How is this possible? I did the bypass about a year ago do the wife could watch a movie while we drove. I could always use the address search while in motion too. Now I can still watch movies on the go, but the address search has to have the brake on? Isn't this odd?

Take the radio and check the connections in the back to make sure all of the wires are still in their correct places.

 

An out of place wire might cause only part of the bypass to work, if I understand some other posts correctly.

 

Good luck getting it to work!

well, i checked the connections and it still will not work, I can navigate to previous destinations and still watch movies but it will not let me address search!!!
