Well the install went flawlessly, as did the update to 3.00101. Everything is working great except the maps/GPS. It seems to think I'm heading the wrong way. Luke I'm driving north but the red arrow is pointing south. It also tries to go down every side street I pass. Can anyone help me?

I had this once, there was a key stuck. Try to move every button on unit.

Thanks for the reply but that's not it. Any other ideas? I remember reading about this problem before but can't find the thread.

It might cause a problem if previously installed haced mod was not cleared when you update window ce ( I used format when I update CE).

First, Try update 3.01 official update from pioneer for X series see if it work.

If not, I suggest reinstall ce(CE update with Format) and my flash disk.

I also did the formatting option when I updated WinCE. Then I copied over the complete flash disc from the X-Series, then did the official update from Pioneers website. I know my hacks, which was only the software bypass, was not saved because I drove it and got the it's not hooked up correctly warning. I did just re-apply the software bypass and it has not effected anything.

I suggest that you switch off your targeting computer.

Well I figured out the solution. Drive. The unit will automatically correct itself it seems. That's at least what mine did. Thanks for the help though.

That's not really a problem--just how the unit operates. I'm assuming your maps are on the new 2d mode when this occurs, correct?

 

Also, note that the 900/90 have gyros and optional speed sensors whereas the 700 does not.

This is a problem because when you try to use navigation, it is constantly recalculating the route because it thinks you went the wrong way. And I have my VSS wire hooked up.

And this is in 3D mode.

 

But I was wrong, it's not fixed. It's still acting up quite a bit. I'll be traveling 70+ on a highway and the arrow will all of a sudden turn and point me going sideways on the highway when there are no other roads around. It will also get very confused when passing side streets and going through intersections. I think I'm to try going to an open parking lot and driving in circles to see if that helps. I dunno what else to try.

Oooh ok nevermind. I'm sorry, i thought you meant only when it was stationary. Are you getting solid locks on your satellites?

Posted Jul 22, 2009 · 22:06 UTC#12

Yeah, I was getting good reception from about 7 or 8 satellites. It said accuracy was "high." But the other night my unit just died. lol

 

It won't even turn on or boot to test mode. So to Pioneer it goes tomorrow. I just got off the phone with them and am sending it to Ohio. I honestly can't think of anything I did wrong but maybe I did. Hopefully I'll get it back within a month.

Are the maps up to date on this update as they say 2008?

Posted Jul 23, 2009 · 20:38 UTC#15

I honestly don't think I did this. I was using it and it was playing my iPod then it just turned off and refused to turn on. Everything was working fine before this too. The only thing I can think of is it was extremely hot, like unusually hot, in my car that day. Maybe I overheated it?

You do realize that you put a illegally hacked OS on your machine, not sure it's wise to send it in for service...

Nothing was loaded on it. It literally dumped everything.
