Hello everyone. Well now that I have my alternator noise problem fixed it is time to figure out the other problem that I am having. This one is weird. I have a subscription for both xm and nav traffic but only get xm radio. My nav traffic has never turned on. The wierd part is if I check on the xm status screed it says STATUS not connected and SIGNAL STRENGTH no signal, yet I get all the xm radio stations and they seem to be working fine. Pre sets work and everything. Today I called and verified that I have the subscription for both and reset the xm reciever and the Avic Z1. It does not seem to totally re set because the xm radio works right away. no waiting on chanel 1 for any time. Do any of you have any idea why this is hapening? I am going to send in my xm reciever in the next couple of days to get checked if I can not figure this out. Thanks in advance.

Do you have the data cable on as well? Sounds like you don't. The I-Buss cable and data cable need to go to the Z1.

Thanks for the response. You might be on to it. I have the power hooked up, the gps entena, and one big cable that goes to the back of the avic. I thought the instructions said the other cable port is not used. Thanks I will check into that.

Man do I ever feel stupid. That was it. I thought the other wire was not used. Works great now. I can't believe how much info it found local to me. Thanks again.

I love NavTraffic here in NYC! Which market do you live in?

I attached a pic from the xm site of my area. It seems very very cool. Lots of aditional info!
