Has anyones Navigation system gotten stuck in a different location and no longer tracks where you are? Mine is stuck in La and I didnt even drive down to LA. My system is about 3 years old now and it never gave me problems until the other day. What do you guys think it is? Maybe the antenna went bad?

 

Check here. Lot's of info on all AVIC units.

its probably the antenna because it brings you to that area before its calibrated when its first installed...

 

Thats what i think the antenna i was on the avic411 website earlier and didnt really find answer im going take it out make sure antenna didnt come unplugged for whatever reason first. Thanks alot for the help.

 

yeah, i would bet money thats what it is........i have an avic-d3 in two of my vehicles and have also installed a few for family and friends......

when you first power up the D3, it shows you in LA until it reaches signal and pin points you to where you really are...

im not sure how the antenna could come upplugged, but definately check it. also make sure the antenna isnt damaged.....

did you somehow disconnect power? change batteries in the car when this happened?

let us know...

Its been working fine then on wednesday I was at work in tustin. On my lunch the navigation was working fine but then after work I was driving home and I was looking for a bank and it was stuck in LA. When I go into the settings it shows an antenna signal which is weird because its stuck in LA. Tomorrow im going to try and pull it out and see if the cable is messed up or if for whatever reason cables broke or something. I know its not very likely that any those would happen but you never know. Thanks for the help its always good.

 

i have an extra antenna if u want it...just pay shipping and its yours if u think thats it

 

Thanks alot I appreciate that. Im going to work on it tomorrow if I cant get it then i'll take you up on your offer.

 

sounds good...good luck with it...

 

DO you have the avic d3? any problems like this with urs?

 

Calibrate it to where you are, then do the 3D calibration thing (I know the D2 has it, but not sure about the D3) Also, do you have the speed wire connected? Is it displaying the correct speed?

 

i had one for a few years...never had a problem but because of where u said it took you i figured it was something with the antenna or calibration

 

Ya ive had this for 3 years now never had a problem. Im going to start working on it try calibrate things first then if not i'll take it out of car and make sure wires are plugged in still.

 

true...let me know what happens

 

check your time zone?

 

Mines actually starting to give me trouble. It sticks to a location and doesn't move a lot of times. My GPS signal in the menu has become less than before

 

Alright guys I got it to work I took it out disconnected the antenna and when I reconnected the unit was working again fine. Now its working but when it first comes on I get storefront mode? How do I get rid of this?

 

Thanks for all the help works again!
