mk4 is lost
 
Hi
I have a mk4 but sadly it lost its way :)
I was driving around everything ok and suddenly it didn`t no where i was anymore("shark fin").
Now a week later it works again ... but still no sats.How is that possible?
No coordinates.
With the list of 8 sat the second row are all 0
Almanak (?) says no
gps tells me that there is interf.
I updated to v3.1 but that didn`t fix it now i lost my splash screen only when i turn the key it suddenly appears(did i something wrong?)

Anyone knows what is wrong?

Yes i was afraid of that
Can i replace it my self or is it more for the specialist.

Easy to do yourself, it's very simple

All you need is some torx drivers and a small spanner.

rel 07-17-2009 12:49 PM

Oke so it is just click out and the new one in no soldering.
Cewl
But before i buy one how do you know its the gps tuner?
Are you sure :confused:

The tuner is inside the dvd player?

KiwiJochen 07-17-2009 01:08 PM

There's only 2 x parts to the GPS receiver:

tuner and antenna

You said you tried another antenna and it didn't fix it
So it must be the tuner

Elementary, my dear Watson

rel 07-17-2009 01:58 PM

he he :D
When i replace it i let you know if its working................. or not
Where is it situated is it inside the metalic box on top or inside the player?:dunno:

You don't need an answer from me because when you take the lid off your eyes will tell you everything - it is very obvious.
