My Navi is getting lost... = (
Twice in the past week.. My Navi had no idea where it was!!! One day it was gloomy and cloudy so I just figured it wasn't getting good signal. But the other day it was sunny and I was expecting my Navi to know where it was.
I had to manually set my current location in which I never had to do before. Also, under (I think) Info, Navi, current Location... It says signal not found or something? Is this normal? Anyone have this problem? |
Have you tried looking at INFO>GPS Satellite Info to see how many satellites you have available?
|
have you added any new electronics to your car? any new phones? i had this same problem when i added gauges to my car...the control modules create enough EMI to interfere with the GPS antenna.

slightly OT, but anybody randomly start getting traffic updates even if ur not subbscribed to it?
|
From what I read.. They were promoting it by giving it for free for a bit...
|
^+1, and to run the diagnoses just shut off your audio, then with your car in ON position, Press and Hold the settings button while turning the volume button 40clicks to right and that will take you to the diagnoses screen, do not mess with anything else if you dont know whats going on.

How timely.
Today I drove from Washington, DC to NYC. I switched the area from Mid Atlantic to New England, put in the address and even though I am familiar with NYC, the navi tried to take me to somewhere in Queens and not Manhattan. After further investigation, the term "New York, NY" does not mean New York City to Infiniti. You have to look for "Manhattan NY", how frustrating. I got there by using my sense of direction and familiarity with the "city". |
My navi had me driving in the Pacific Ocean yesterday!!!!
I checked diagnostics, and it appears he Navi Antenna is broken or not working.. Taking it to the dealer this weekend. =) |

I got there by using my sense of direction and familiarity with the "city". Also, when you input an address, it lists the possible locations in alphabetical order, by city. Gee, Idk, how about by distance from where I'm starting? Far more often than not, I'm going to be driving somewhere close by, so give me the closest location, rather than one 3 states away. |
Well, so when I left the dealer I didn't have such a good feeling that it was fixed.. Not sure but my Navi is getting lost again... It's been lost for 3 days.
Is anyone else having similar issues with their Nav in Los Angeles? |
My 06 Coupe navi is working fine. Do you have some type of metallic tint?
|
No... My car is completely stock. Not even Tint...
|
Well my Navi decided to wake up yesterday on my way home from work. So I'm no longer driving in the Pacific Ocean...... UGh.. My POS $100 GPS I have on my 2nd car never gets lost.. This is Silly!
|
boo! My navi sucks! it has me driving in the Pacific Ocean for the past week!! I know I can reset my location but my Navi says out of Range! This is rediculous! I want my $2000 or whatever I paid for my Navi back!

LOL my turboed civic was stolen loong time ago. So I'll never fix up a car ever again. =)
They prolly stole ur civic because it was an easy steal, like older toyota corolla, and Accords. Not because it was hooked up. |

No they knew it was fixed up. Police found it the very next day. Totally stripped. I spent over 30g's fixing it up. :( my insurance paid me 5k for the car. My stereo system costed more than that If someone steals my G. It's ok. Insurance will pay for the value of the car.
Nehow considering my stupid navi don't work. No one will want it neways. Stupid POS. My $100 portable navi works better! Ugh Sorry bout your Nav! |
Yeah really! my navi is pissin me off.. Off to the dealer for the 2nd time and waste more of my time! uGh
by the way I dont' want to talk about my old civic anymore as it makes me cry.. Lil sucker was fast! But I got a Yamaha R6 after that... I realize bikes are muuuch faster than cars. and much cheaper! but fixing it up is still expensive. =) |
So this time I took my car to a different dealer since the first dealer couldn't fix the problem. They said my navi antenna is bad and will replace. It will take a week though but since I got a loaner I don't mind the wait. =)
|
which dealership did you go?
|
Nice to see them step up and correctly diagnose the problem, having a GPS that is always getting lost would be a royal PITA, maybe u need a GPS for ur GPS lol
|
I first went to Metro Infiniti where I didn't get too much help.... I then took it to Miller Infiniti who is changing the antenna. =)
Yeah I was using my iPhone as my GPS! |
Update:
Sooooo The navi seems to be fixed after the dealer changed the Navi antenna and the whole Radio! But!!!!!! 1. There was a scratch on the rear bumper!!! They were able to buff it out.. But still... 2. They scratched my navi screen! I don't even touch it cuz I don't like finger prints and didn't want to scratch it... So they ordered me a new screen and I now have to go back for the 3rd time for a stupid navi issue....... Regardless.. I'm glad I took m car to Miller as they fixed my original problem... Go Miller Infiniti! Boo to Metro Infiniti. |
