AVIC-D3 Navi Problem (Facing Wrong Direction...)

AVIC-D3 Navi Problem (Facing Wrong Direction...)
So I have recently been noticing that the navigation on my Avic d3 isn't working how it should. The arrow that points in the direction that I should be driving always seems to be slowly changing directions.
The "arrow" moves the correct way on the road and in the correct direction, but sometimes the arrow will be pointing sideways, or sometimes backwards, and when it points backwards, the computer assumed I am heading that way and laggs terribly!!!
I have no idea what the problem could be???
Anyone care to chime in? It is bugging the hell out of me!! I hate having to modify my current location 3-4 times during each trip just so I am facing the right direction.
Any help is greatly appreciated, Thanks!

My guess would be something dealing with your gps antenna, possibly bad location/signal, but if it worked fine previously that wouldn't make sense.

I have the same problem right now with my D2 which also provides my XM radio signal. According to the D2, the signal levels are good for both the XM antenna and NAV antenna. When I get some time I'm going to tear my Z apart again and rewire the NAV antenna to the same place I have my XM radio antenna, which is inside the rear strut bar cover (do an antenna on either side). My NAV antenna is currently inside my dash near the 3 gauge cluster and worked perfectly for months, I think it may have just been turned sideways by accident but we'll see.

it might have to do with the wire attached to the reverse light, i have a f700bt and i had to attach a lead from the unit to one of my reverse lights so the avic knows when im going foward or backwards, maybe that came losose or something ... just a guess
