RT3 GPS not conecting to sattelites

andrei1980 · 21st July 2008, 15:04

I've upgraded my RT3 to 6.63(from 6.52) and I have happily discovered that the radio-cd has become an mp3 player...the problem is that I think that's when I've lost GPS functionality

. Sattelites visible are now stuck to 0(location:bad), and before it could usually pick up about 8. Also, the: Asisstance call service downgraded started appearing everytime I start the engine/RT3 unit.
That is very unfortunate as I've just found navi cds with my region for sale in my country.

Help

I blame this on the sw upgrade or on the fact that the battery has been disconnected several times since I've seen it work. Maybe it doesn't "see" the gps antenna anymore...but why? I am going to Bulgaria in about 10 days and the navi would certainly come in handy

How long did you wait the satellites? After a power failure (such as a disconnected battery) you have to wait as long as 20 minutes to get the GPS signal back.

It's been about a week since the last disconnect. Tried the DARK buton many times, disconnected from battery 2 times, downgraded then upgraded again(credit card trick). Don't know what else to do
