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", and the PC slot door should always be closed. The screen should appear as shown.
- However, if the factory provides a PC card, insert it into the card slot (label side up), and then slide the PC Card door shut. If instructed by the factory, select "Gyro. Sensor Logs ON". Follow the factory 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).
- "System Time" is the internal time used by the navigation unit to calculate your position on the map. It is also in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
- "Display Time" is the time shown on Setup screen 2 "Adjust Time Zone/Clock", and reflects any changes due to daylight savings time or time adjustments entered by the customer.
- Date, Hour, Minute, and "Set" should not be used.
Demo Mode
This screen is for factory use only, and should always be set to "OFF". Occasionally this setting is turned "ON" when vehicles are being used at Auto Shows or similar events. Turning this feature on, allows the navigation system to automatically follow a route to a destination when the vehicle is stationary.
Mic Level
This diagnostic allows you to independently test the microphone, 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 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, then you should check the wire running from the microphone to the control unit.
- Press the BACK button on the steering wheel. This should cause the Cancel indicator on the screen to momentarily turn green. If it does not briefly change to green, then check the wiring from the steering wheel BACK button to the navigation unit.
- The mic level should reach at least the 6th bar.
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"
