it might be that the sat nav is loosing the signal [uk] from the gps satellites and defaulting to belgium, so it might be your antenna connections are loose or the gps antenna is faulty..... ... - .- -.

Sorry, Stan but there are no national GPS signals which is what your post seems to imply.

to clarify, chap changes default map to UK, drives about and then looses signal from gps satellites, stops and switches off engine....on start up the sat nav realises there is no gps signal so defaults to belgium.. ... - .- -.

Almost correct. Sat nav works everytime. It's just that upon each engine start up, I have to change it from Belgium to UK. Plus any stored locations I have entered have disappeared, along previously entered destinations. |

it might be related to the key memory as i think my other key changes the radio station as well as the seat and steering wheel positions.....

If that doesn't work it would be worth trying a reset by disconnecting the battery. Follow the procedure in Wiki. John

THey all default to Belgium but once you select UK it should stay in the memory until you change it....

i tried the memory function after clearing/deleting the old data and adding new addresses but it still comes up as belgium and remembering the previous owners home and destinations upon restart.

Could be the permanent 12v to the GPS unit, it's doing what it usually does on a battery disconnection every time you switch off... maybe a fuse... can't help further as mines an early one.... Pete

I Haven't got a wiring diagram, but there will be a permanent 12v feed to the unit, even with the ignition 'off', to power the memory so that it remembers your settings. If yo do a battery disconnection, the sat-nav will default to belgum. I imagine that you have lost the permanent 12v feed to the unit, so that every time you turn your ignition off, it loses power and hence defaults to belgium - possibly a fuse? 2006 (56 Reg) 4.4 V8 Vogue In Bonatti Grey (Gorgeous!!) |
