Default C6 nav system tracking in reverse

Hi. Like the title says - my map moves in the opposite direction when driving. The unit worked fine for a day after the software update - but this error has been going on for quite a while. I have installed the new firmware and have used different year maps. I removed the head unit and also yaw module and inspected the wiring really closely. My region is correct and i have recalibrated the location and direction several times to no effect. I have also calibrated the compass a couple of times. Any ideas?

Push the compass Button on the upper corner. It will always point to the North unless you change it.
The compass button has 2 options
1) Makes the arrow change position
2) Makes the map change position and the arrow always pointing North

I'm not sure if you tried the above. but worth a try.

Good Luck

Must be an internal glitch. hopefully it will resolve itself. I have been using the OEM Nav since 2009, and I've never had that issue. I have it so the map moves.

good luck

the glitch seemed to start in november (2019) with installation of the 1st nav/clock fix. I have overwritten that recently with the latest firmware update (May 2020).

I did the clock fix on my car, and it did not affect the Nav function, but it did get my clock back.
