And i even have some new options like bluetooth but of course thats not installed so it wont work. You may be right about the VO of where the nav came from. But the system map is stuck in Oakland. there is no place that i can see to reset the nav or tell it that it is in virginia. its kinda funny as it is showing me driving thru streets that arent really there. Maybe I should spend some time trying to figure out how to reset the NAV? Thanks for the info on doing the coding. I will mention it to the dealer in the morning.

Did you properly wire your GPS antenna for the CCC unit ? Also you should give the NAV system to work at least 10 minutes while having clear sky view in order to properly determine your location. It should happend automaticly. And finally Navigation DVD - do you use the correct one ? There are usually two of these - one for Eastern part of US and Canada and second for Wester part of US and Canada

Hmm . .. is the antenna the round looking single cable that I thought perhaps what for the radio? Because that cable was a little loose and my radio stations do not work so perhaps it came out. I'm going to take it apart again and check. As for the DVD I did get it with the screen for free and it was indeed from a seller from the West. But wouldn't it give me some kind of error or something if I have the wrong dvd. when i plot something it just says calculating and then a voice says route displayed on screen. but the screen shows some random street from another city. Even though it can find my zip code and streets and everything. But let me go check that antenna and get back to you. Thanks man you are a genius.

You do have two connectors at the back of your unit. Onr is Blue color - I think is GPS antenna and second is Black color - I think FM radio antenna. Both must be connected in order to have GPS and FM. Did you have GPS antenna built in your car or you add it ? If you add it by your self where did you put the antenna it self ?
