johnH Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 can you load up the sat nav software? i got a chinese clone and had to manually set the baud on the antenna (iirc 9800) before it would pick me up. do all the other lights such as heater dials come on? - they are fed on same circuit...mind you it maybe worth waiting until night time...might be a case of the leds being dim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecarpman Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 im gonna have another look after 8pm it has a card in the slot but the screen just says no signal, was really looking forward to getting this unit but at the moment im gutted hope its not £260 down the drain and hope its just something stupid i havnt noticed my bro in law is good at these things but lives 80miles away so have to wait till sunday to go see him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnH Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 ahhh yeah it will be the baud rate mate. Is it the satnav software IGO? If so i will remind myself tonight when i go home, on how to do this. Dead easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greggp Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Are you saying the unit buttons don't light up when your headlamps are on? I'm assuming they should light red? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
