Hi All,

 

I'm having a weird issue here, after starting up my car i am losing my gps signal. It will go to night mode, the time will reset and everything. I will regain my gps signal from anywhere from 3mins to 1hr later. All my other settings are fine, fm stations, audio settings, the only other thing I notice is that usually I am in list mode in my dvd-mp3 tracks but it spits me out in detail mode.... This happens I would say 3/4's of my startups now.

 

The only other issue I have is my antenna might not be hooked up correctly, I have "ok" fm reception, spotty am reception, I get clicks, when I turn on my turn sigs, tap the brakes in am reception, do you guys know whats up with that? I think I might have a professional redo the wiring...

 

Please give me a headstart in advice so I know what I am getting myself into... Thanks everyone, I really appreciate the help here in this forum!

 

 

Cheers,

That sounds a lot like incorrect grounding issues. First verify that you have a really good solid ground from the car to the AVIC.
