Guys,

 

I have activated the MSN Direct through web, but it does not become active on my navigation? What can be the cause?

 

When installing the unit, i didn't connect the Auto-Antenna wire (the blue one from the power cord). can it be the reason? For what is this wire used?

 

Thanks.

As long as your FM tuner has good reception, you're all set. I couldn't get it to activate via the web even though it said it was successful. If you call the 800 number that the unit displays in the activation screen, it will activate within 20 minutes. Overall, it's a nice feature for gas prices and weather, but movie times are hit and miss and traffic is so-so. Doubt I keep it after the trial expires.

if you used the hd radio tuner and only have an antennae on it is another cause.

the msn data is only received through the head unit antennae plug so you need to make sure you use a splitter
