Couple of questions/problems/concerns/whatever

1. I believe there's a short in my fuse box that works the reverse lamps. I installed the LED bulbs (recommonded from the FAQ) from autolumination.com and they didn't work (well, they worked for about two minutes. I checked the fuse and it was blown out. Put new ones in, and they blow out instantly. Did this a couple of times. I'm gonna bring it in to the dealer to have it looked at, but I broke stock halogen bulbs when I was installing the LEDs. If you must know, I set them on the car next to me and the wind blew 'em off and they shattered.

Does anyone have an extra set of bulbs or know of where I can get 'em before I go back to the dealer? Caleb, maybe?

2. My nav is in and works great, for the most part. I notice on the GPS screen that the red icon that's supposed to be my current location is usually behind me about 30 seconds. Hasn't bothered me yet, but if I ever have to use the navigation, I wouldn't wanna haphazardly miss a turn. Is this with everyone's nav or is my antenna in a bad position maybe?

Have you looked at the feature that allows you to the satellite positions or how many you see on the screen? Where did you put the antenna? Try reproramming your location. I had to do that twice.

Yea, you can adjust the position of the car by going to the main menu and there should be an option called "vehicle position" or something like that.

Sucks to hear about your fuse issue. I have the same LEDs from autolumination and they are just so nice. 25 LED.

Didn't even realize you could reprogram the vehicle position. I'll get right on that.

That's funny Flip, 'cause I'm seriously eating a Five Guys burger right now, haha. I'm an addict, help me.


But still, need a site that has the stock halogens or if someone is willing to sell a pair! Thanks

I don't think there are any in Ohio, if so, then very few. They're quite abundant here in the DC/Maryland/NoVa area. Take an 8 hour drive to dc and grab a burger. they're worth the trip.


gm you're nasty and i love it.

so i did the vehicle repositioning. bit of a problem. i moved the cursor to where my position and pointed it in the right direction and hit Set. But now, the cursor doesn't move, it'll face the direction i'm going, but will only stay in one spot. it was horrible last night when i was trying to go to a show in Richmond (Haste The Day) and I had to drive an hour and a half using the TBT list, which was pretty much of no use at all cause I ended up getting lost anyway. I'm rambling. Anyone know how to fix this?

Actually, it fixed itself sometime today, but the position was still off. It was still about 15 seconds behind me, but at least it was moving. I tried positioning again, which was a bad move, and it got stuck again. =/. aggrivated.
