Catswiska2 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 My Kuga 2016 TIT X as a faulty SATNAV When the ignition is on it does not pick up any satellites, but when I turn the ignition off it shows 8 satellites! Help as I have no idea what is causing this. Any advice would be great Regards Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catswiska2 Posted March 30, 2020 Author Share Posted March 30, 2020 I have found that it is my dash cam that is stopping the GPS signal, when I disconnect the dash cam power feed the satellites come on line. so I either need to screen the gps aerial or move the dash cam to a different position.

sussamb Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I had that with a cheap dashcam, got a decent one and no issue since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 It doesn't tend to be the camera itself.More commonly it's the power cables that cause the problems due to RF interference and mostly from the plug that goes into the car's 12v socket.On a previous car I found I had problems with the central locking not responding.Once I fitted a hardwired power supply (which was properly shielded) the problem stopped.If you really prefer a plug-in supply try adding some clip-on ferrite cores to reduce the RF.Sent from my SM-G965F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
