Log Data
This screen allows the factory to collect log data to troubleshoot navigation system issues.
- There is no card in the PC Card Slot, the screen appears as shown.
- However, if the factory provides a PC card, insert it into the card slot (label side up). Follow the factory logging VD data procedure for gathering test data and properly ending the test.
GPS Send Time
This screen is for factory use only. It allows adjustment of the GPS time. This display updates in real time.
- GPS Time is the time as received from the GPS satellites. It is in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
- Date, Hour, Minute, and Set should not be used.
Demo Mode
This screen allows the navigation system to drive a route, when the vehicle is stationary. Typical applications include auto shows, and other events. This feature allows a visitor to enter a destination, and see the system drive to the destination. No speed signal is needed.
- To initiate the mode select ON.
- Changing the speed rate in ms (milliseconds) is optional, and represents the time between updates of the VP (vehicle position) movement.
- When you increase the rate, the VP slows down because it is updated (moved) at a slower rate.
- When you decrease the rate, VP is faster because it is updated (moved) more frequently.
- 1500 ms is VP at its slowest in demo mode.
- 150 ms is VP at its fastest in demo mode (Default).
- When you turn the key off, the setting automatically returns to the default of Off.
Mic Level
This diagnostic screen allows you to independently test the microphone and the TALK and BACK buttons. They are used to activate the voice control system. The microphone is located near the map light in the ceiling. It is directional, and works best if the voice is coming from the drivers seat.
- Press the TALK button on the steering wheel, and in a normal voice say "testing". The TALK indicator on the screen should momentarily turn green, and the text "Now Recording..." should appear in yellow. If the Mic Level indicator on the screen does not briefly turn green, then check the wiring from the TALK button to the navigation unit. If there is no Mic Level movement when you speak, or if all the bars are filled without speaking, then you should check the wires running from the microphone to the control unit for opens or shorts. If the wires are OK, substitute a known good microphone and recheck.
- If all the bars are filled without speaking or with very little background noise, disconnect the microphone for 1 hour, then reconnect it and recheck. If the symptom is resolved, the microphone had a glitch and is now reset.
If the mic level bar is full or almost full without you speaking or other back ground noise, replace the microphone and recheck.
- Press the BACK button on the steering wheel. The Cancel indicator on the screen should momentarily turn green. If it does not briefly turn green, then check the wiring from the steering wheel BACK button to the navigation unit.
NOTE: If the radio is off, and there is movement in the indicator-even without speaking, then ensure that the vents are not blowing on the microphone.
This should resolve voice control complaints such as:
- Sometimes the system does not understand my commands.
- I have to shout at the navi for a command to be recognized.
- The system just says "pardon".
