RE: GPS Wont Work - Nav Issue
Installed Nav in my car (OEM) a few weeks back.....My GPS, since I installed it a few weeks ago, has had a red line through it.
I bought the GM Antenna brand new, and have it mounted on top of the passenger ac duct.
Other than that, the Nav unit is functioning perfectly. I have tried to remove the fuse....no luck.
I hit the restore factory defaults button under nav setup - no luck.
The below part came with the nav unit when I bought it used, but Im not sure what it is?
Any hints on how to fix the gps, and what that part is?

Regarding the Nav unit, I'm guessing you might need some time for it to find your location. Make sure you're in the correct region, then drive around for 30-60 minutes or so in a clear area and see if you get your GPS to work. I'll assume you plugged in the GPS antenna to the radio.
You can email me at ray@kawal.net for more information, but I'll need to know your year of Vette, what level (1LT, 3LT, etc.) trim you have. Do you have Bose, and if not, did you install the VSS (vehicle speed sensor wire) to the 12 pin connector? What Nav radio do you have and what year did it come from? Did you have a Tech 2 to erase the old VIN number so Theftlock doesn't come up?
