Did you check the cable connection ?

is your antenna outside, if so it may be dammaged

thanks for the replys.

 

its inside the car, and ive checked that its plugged in. is there anyway i can check if the cable is damaged? would this most likely be a hardware problem?

 

cheers

I've got the exact same thing. Worked perfectly for a good year and a bit... now its not working at all.

Tooks approx 45mins to find a signal one day. I dont have 45mins to sit around waiting for a signal!

Anyone got any ideas on how to fix this? Any satellite location upgrades or anything?

Im in Sydney, Australia - so i unfortunately cant update to 3.0 as its not available to me yet!

Oh, and the cable is definately plugged in and not damaged at all.

well the problem is either the antenna or the unit, the easiest way to figure out which one it is would be to get a new antenna and try it, or just send them both in to pioneer to get fixed.
