Sat-Nav

Post by RS6Mule » Sun Jul 07, 2013 1:58 am

My sat nav thinks were in Stirling when actually in Sunderland. Shows 30 satellites available but tracking 0 and unable to determine geographical position. Any ideas ?

Going by the running costs of these lady's Harrods may have been a shout !! Would thus do it 171066294679 eBay item ?

If you've got an RNS-E then it looks like the right one. Won't fit an RNS-D.

Ok so turns out I have RNS-D so I bought 2 different antennas but what looks like the antenna connection on the back of the unit has a different plug. Anyone shed any light on if there is a different antenna or am I trying to plug in on the wrong area ?

Cheers

There are two different connectors on the back of the unit - it had me fooled for a while. Think it's over on the left side viewed from front of unit - but that is from memory, so I could be wrong.
