sometimes when i start up my navi right away when i drive the car, it will not move until like 5 min later. my speed pulse is not going up and down with the bars under connection status. wierd thing sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt. if i bang the center console on the side the speed pulse will come back on.

Obviously a bad connection then.... Check the wiring for the speedpulse.. :wink:

do you think maybe its because of the cold? it seemed like it is happening more because of the cold. Thats means i have to remove whole center console and check that pink wire!! how come if i bang the side it sometimes just comes back on speed pulse

When you bang on the console it might be moving the wire a tiny bit (just enough) to restore the connection. Not sure why the cold has any effect on it but I agree with jwq's thoughts on the connection being bad/insufficient.
