Navigation Issues

AMPS · 09-11-2013, 11:54 PM

Hi all, I am having a major issue with my nav. I am located in BC Canada but my nav shows that I am in WA USA. Has anyone encounter this problem and does anyone know how to fix it.

Thanks in advance!

I guess that won't solve my issues. I tried to reset it by pressing on the on/off knob for 25 secs and the problem still existed. Is this an issue with my antenna?
I had my roof and antenna wrapped and could this be the cause of my issue?

did the issue begin after the wrapping? What material was used. Unless it contained some metallic particles, I don't see how it could cause any reception interference. Even if it did, I would expect a decrease in reception sensitivity for the radioas well, not a geo displacement issue. Does the NAV display track correctly relative to the displayed position, but offset by whatever the error is?

The issue happened after the wrap(or should I say re-wrap of the roof only) and the material used is 3M vinyl. The radio reception is fine. When I am in motion, the Nav shows that I am moving and stops when I am not.

Have you attempted to reboot the i-Drive system?
"To reboot the CIC-based (4th generation) iDrive, press and hold the audio volume/mute knob for 25 seconds."

Its' worth a try. I can't explain why your GPS Geo present position has suddenly shifted. that's weird.

Thanks! I did that twice last night and it did not work. Not sure if there was a wire loose or not connected properly after the wrap job but my guy who did the wrap will take a look at the antenna tonight. Hopefully that is the issue as I know BMW will not warranty this issue due to the removal of the antenna. Fingers crossed!

PROBLEM SOLVED!!! It was probably a loose connection and after reconnecting the wires twice, the problem still existed. Had to move my car a few feet and I am back in business.
