Hi guys a couple of our members on vec c have a problem with there NCDC's basically its not showing them where there meant to be on the sat nav.
If they go into test mode it shows their position correctly but in navi mode it doesn't any idea ?

GPS Signal is green btw

[TheBoy]

How far out is it? Is the inserted map valid for the area? Worth a reset (CLEAR for 8s)

[bigmac]

One member has it showing about 14 miles out the other a few miles out both have up to date disc's

I will tell them to try a reset cheers jaime

[Dave DND]

Check also to see how many satellites you are receiving, if the answer is zero, then change the aerial

[bigmac]

That didn't solve it been told they receive 6 satellites on green
Its shows red when 3 satellites or less
it shows yellow when 4-5 satellites

One of them put in there home address and it started taking them in the wrong direction

Sounds like the Gyro in the main unit has failed then

Cheers Dave have you any idea where the gyro is on the main board ? picture would be nice

Sorry, long time since I`ve been inside one - we don`t tend to bother nowadays as parts are non existant to fix them, so no point us opening them up.

There are some others on here who have some secondhand bits though, I`m sure they will be along shortly

One of the guys has a complete unit for spares just need to know where gyro is

[Dave DND]

If you have a compete unit for spares, then just swap the whole unit !!

A lot easier than messing about with the gyroscope

[bigmac]

Would be easy if you knew where the main code board is i know where the changer board is that stores code but what about main unit

[TheBoy]

I believe gyros are in vertical board where the little flylead from satnav aerial at back plugs into. I could be wrong though.

I know where codes are stored on these, but not sure if such info should end up in public domain 


Can they post up the 1st page of satnav diags screen, along with the precise location they were in at the time (to cross ref with a google maps), see if we can work out whats what.

Don't suppose they are near me?

[bigmac]

Ones in Denmark these are his pictures he has checked the co-ordinates with his tom tom and there correct but the navi screen doesn't show him in that position,the other one is south east area i think

[TheBoy]

Looks like that car has moved between those screens....

[bigmac]

Nope all pictures are taken while stationary at home.
