With a CID does the nav disc have to be inserted and read before the GPS indicator turns green

[Big_Al]

just taken my disc out Rob.   

Then switched ignition on  & selected NAV.   but you cannot select any destination etc. until disc is loaded.

Hope this is what you meant

[TheBoy]

RobG - No - it will get the details without the disk.

No green (or yellow), no (delboy voice) statalites.

[albitz]

So your screen is still working ok Al ? (10 days)

[Big_Al]

bloody hell whens that edit function gonna be available.

right start again . .

Removed disc ..  switched on ignition  .. selected NAV     . .    GPS is showing green    ..   but you cannot select a destination etc.

Put disc in . . same as above but destination selectable

[Big_Al]

yep !   guess you'd better Patent that repair system Albs . . 

[RobG]

This one is struggling to aquire the satellites but if left on it will eventually aquire them and indicator will turn green. Any ideas?

Poor signal.

Check everything from rear of HU back to aerial I presume

Sadly, yup.

If its been disconnected from batt for a while, it could be slow to initially grab the signal, but once acquired, should be fine next time.

Its own diags mode will tell you visible and sats in use. Code reader can also tell this.

[aaronjb]

Ah the magic dance of buttons to get it in to diag mode.. which I had to do about 15 times every time I wanted to select it because I could never remember the right magic dance

Pray tell

[albitz]

Should give details of it in the handbook.   Dont tell me youve flogged all your handbooks ? 

[aaronjb]

Plan a route. Then press and hold MAIN for 7 seconds. Then press either MAIN or NAV again (may have to experience) - I'm after Nav Test Screen 1

First 2 numbers, top left - 00/00  (first is sats used, second is sats available)

From: http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=89420.0

[RobG]

Scenario; the disc I`ve got is scratched to hell. Insert it and walk away for 20 minutes, satnav functions appear, but the GPS indicator will only turn green when I have said functions on screen. Eject disc, gps turns red. Insert disc, another wait of about 20 mins, functions appear.

[TheBoy]

Press MAIN for 7s, then release. Then press NAV. If you dont get diags, breifly press MAIN again.

Its the first set of numbers - 3/5 means 3 sats in use, 5 visible.

Nope...

I said that already .. well, technically, you said that already

Although you've changed your mind about the instructions this time 

[RobG]

Cheers TB. Will try again tomorrow & post back

That happens I lot when you do stuff purely from (poor) memory .

RobG will bluff his way through with those destructions

I wouldn't know anything about that, my memory is .. wait, what am I doing here again?

Should add, when done, press and hold MAIN for 7s again, to get it out of diags. If that fails, CLEAR for 7s

All this work just to know where I`m going

[aaronjb]

All this work just to know where I`m going

It's been a year and I still haven't fixed mine.. so I still don't know where I'm going. Or where I've been

Only bought it to get it up together and move on Aaron. Not keen on the old V6`s, not enough room to fart under the bonnet

[aaronjb]

  There's bags of room! You should try working on the 300ZX.. that really does require little pixie arms with 15 joints in them..

[albitz]

Had my first experience of underbonnet 4 pottery yesterday - helping Twiglet remove his engine.Couldnt believe how empty the engine bay looked with that little engine in there. Nowhere near big enough for the car.

That's cos you turned up after I'd done all the hard work and removed all the ancillaries!! 

I dunno... He turn's up on his Bike, moans that he's cold, eats all my bacon and drinks all my coffee, watches while I struggle to move 2 AR25's 'down to the back of the yard' and then breaks off again!! I ask ya... 

[albitz]

You call removing an alternator hard work. .......bloody soft office workers.
I seem to remember getting conned into humping 2 AR25,s half a mile to the end of your garden,whereas when I had to move mine I got a hernia trying to move it myself. Aint you ever heard of help the aged ?

I wish!!! 

I thought I was helping by taking you out for the day! break it, next time I'll leave you on the coach full of OAPs heading to Clacton for the day!! 

[albitz]

Funnily enough,I spent most of today in Chavtown Clacton. Plenty of old grandads who drive Omegas on those coaches you know.Maybe you should book yourself a trip on one.Could flog loads of bits.

[Lazydocker]

Rob, do you want an unscratched disc to try in it> It's old but (I think) in good nick

Seems like I`ve got an intermittent connection. Got the GPS working ok this morning. Tried again this afternoon, no go. Got the diags. screen up, 2md & 3rd "pages" show no info, 1st page was showing 8 satellites visible, none in use

[Lazydocker]

Yep, sorted

Checked nav ariel connections ?

[TheBoy]

The one in the cage tends to be most troublesome

[RobG]

Job for the morning. Getting a bit bored `cause I`m used to breaking `em, not admiring them The more I look at it, can`t believe the condition of it

[RobG]

Update on the problem. Received a navdisc today from Lazydocker (cheers Paul, pm sent). Inserted it, voila satnav now working perfect. A point to mention though, prior to using the "new" disc my GPS indicator stayed red whether the faulty disc was inserted or not but as soon as the replacement disc was inserted the HU downloaded the software from it and the GPS indicator went green. It appears that the faulty disc was in some way preventing the receiver from getting any satellite signals.

[albitz]

Nice one Rob.

[RobG]

CDC3 now Albs

I presume the problem was something to do with it trying to acquire a 'lock' without being able to read the CD; the diag page you got to showed it could 'see' 8 satellites but was using '0' - presumably because it could see satellites known to be over the western hemisphere (say) but thought you were elsewhere, and got confused?

I wish mine were that easy to fix..

Just need to sort the CDC3 now

[TheBoy]

CDC3 pretty simple

Good news RobG, and useful info re disk

Just trying to source one is the hard bit TB Easy enough to replace just a tad fiddly with the PCB

Thats because I regularly go around buying them all up

Now why doesn`t that surprise me. It`s a race between you and Andy (VXLV6) is it

[TheBoy]

I couldn't possibly comment, RobG

[VXL V6]

I'm retiring from fixing them now! Too many broken ones and not enough parts left to fix them! got three 2013's here now, all with faulty CDC3's and NAV Lasers.....  oh and the odd broken bezel. All of our cars have them in now (two with CID's) so it seems daft to spend any more money on parts now.

I'm still hoovering up the odd CDC3, due to my fascination with CDRs

Sssshhh, don't tel Dave DND

Mind you, two more working Telematics would be nice
