I've just installed a Appradio 2 into my car,

 

Now I'm using Appradio Extensions to out put the TomTom Video feed onto the screen.

 

But I can't get a GPS signal!!!

 

 

Has anybody else Experienced this ?

This is very strange because Tomtom uses the GPS signal from your iPhone!

In fact, Appradio extension is only the mirror of your iPhone!!

That's right....

 

Are you having this issue ?

Have you tried reinstalling the app, or used google maps to determine that the GPS on the phone is not the issue ?

I've just tried to reinstall. Same thing.... Or thou Google Maps has no trouble at all to locate me.

 

It seems like it occurs when I plug it into the App Radio 2

 

I've made a video of the problem below :

I did not AppRadio 2, but tries to disconnect the GPS module behind the Appradio ...

I'm not sure, but it may be a track ....

It's just an idea

ah then your phone is 100% as is tomtom.

 

Can you install navfree for UK/IRE see if it does this aswell,just trying to rule out weither or not there is a problem with the App radio antenna built in (well the one connected at the back) or the app radio extensions is causing you the problem.

 

Are you using the new beta ? as if this is a bug it might be an idea to pass it onto Mike, so he can look into it.

 

Let me know the craic, I have the first app radio but have yet to jailbreak as on 5.1 :neutral:

Yes my iPhone 4 is 100%

 

I've just tried UK/IRE App and it works fine with no GPS issues.....

 

I'm not using the App Radio beta Extensions.

 

Where can I download the beta ?

 

And will it solve this issue ?
