Vehicle Direction?

Hey,

 

I just installed my Z1 and I am inlove, everything worked great at first but after I started up and drove around and shut the car off when I started it up again the compass directions were gone from my Vehicle info page, the MPH is still there the clock is still there, and it will give me acceleration, but it says info not available for the other functions, like direction. Do I need to just drive longer with it until it gets aclimated to my car and the GPS location? I only drove for like 5 minutes just to see if everything worked.

 

Thanks

Short answer, give it another 10-20 miles and see how things go. The Z1 likes to calibrate itself and it takes a few miles to get things all worked out right.

 

Did you hook up the VSS wire?

 

You can check the status of it's calibration by going to

 

MENU - SETTINGS - CONNECTION STATUS - 3D CALIBRATION STATUS

 

See if the LEARNING STATUS is in LEARNING, SIMPLE HYBRID or 3D (something) mode. You want to end up in the 3D one, and it will only if you hooked up the VSS wire. It will only go to SIMPLE HYBRID if the VSS wire is not hooked up. If it makes it into 3D and the Vehicle Dynamics screen is still like that then we have an issue, but while it's learning, I wouldn't be too worried.

I am all set thanks, I just needed to drive more. I did hook up the vss when I installed it I just got impatient and didn't wait long enough for it to calibrate, DUH.... Thanks for the info though I appreciate it.

That's what I figured. It takes a few miles to calibrate itself and until then the vehicle dynamics screen doesn't work quite right.
