Connection status

Is it normal to have 13-14.5V as my power voltage? What I noticed was it's not stable at 12V, it always trickles between 13-14+

 

Also, I double checked the illumination wire and it is connected but doesn't dim when I lower the dimmer in my evo x.

 

Please see picture below. Thanks.

The voltage is normal. The same thing happens in my 4Runner. Interestingly, the first sign that my old battery was dying was the connections status screen, the battery voltage was slowly going down in about two weeks' time. Put a new battery in and I'm running about 13.5 volts.

 

The illumination wire, if hooked up correctly, should dim the screen when the headlights are turned on. Does that happen for you?

No it doesn't dim, I have a brand new car 2010 Mitsubishi Evo and I don't think it's the battery deteriorating. Also sometimes I hear a popping sound like it's grounding on something, only when I'm on the phone with the bluetooth on. Weird.

Your illumination wire is hooked up incorrectly then.

 

I wasn't suggesting your battery was deteriorating, rather I was making a point that your battery is doing great. :)

LOL sorry my bad, misunderstood your response :). BTW it does dim when I turn on the headlight. My Avix F90BT response to dimming the dash console, so I thought it does the same too :)

 

Thanks for the reply :)

I wish I had that kind of cash. ;)

 

Of course, I also wish the SHO came in a M/T.

 

I agree with the above, about the only car I know that'll drop to 12V when things are working fine is Honda, who likes to monkey with the power (via the ELD) to get better MPG.

I have a question about the GPS ANT does anyone know the difference between the red satellite and the yellow one? just saw it one day and was wondering.

 

Thanks!

In the picture it has a red and yellow sat. The red one always has satellites but sometime the yellow one does and then later it wont. I wanted to know if this had anything to do with accuracy of the GPS. If not any idea why they are two different colors with varying levels of satellites?

red means # of satellites that are used for positioning. yellow means # of satellites that aren't used for positioning. red doesn't mean bad.
