Sat Nav not synching with satellites?
I have a pioneer F700bt unit with built in sat nav, up till now it has worked great.
yesterday I went to check the map for the first time in a while and it wasn't tracking my car, so I went to GPS settings, checked the accuracy thing and it indicates my antenna's working right, but theres no satellite signal...
it also indicates satellites above but they're all red.. Anyone know whats going on?
I've already tried resetting the unit and that doesn't help, could it have to do with the year roll over by chance? I really dont know and am quite frustrated
