I am having issues with my Sat Nav in my FG MK2. I have full signal strength but it constantly says 'redirecting' and it places me on a different road to what I am actually driving on. I've had Ford service dept do a diagnostic check and found nothing. Has anyone had a similar issue?

 

hey Koze!

 

Did you end up fixing the problem? I have the same thing going on with my 2012 FG Ser2 Ute...

Hi

I also have a XR6T LP, had a couple of little problems. Try disconnecting the battery waiting a few minutes and the reconnecting.

The old turn off and turn on.

Good luck

Regards

Lance

Thanks again Lance - Disconnecting the battery fixes up the Sat Nav when it is "frozen" but hasn't helped with the redirecting problem. After about 10 minutes of driving, the Sat Nav goes haywire tells me its "redirecting" and places me on a different road to what I am actually driving on - same problem as Koze (post #6).

 

Anyone have any suggestions before I go to my friendly ford dealer to go broke paying for them to troubleshoot it?

Is it possible that the gps antenna is broke or it came lose?

I dont have sat nav, so I am just putting some ideas out there.

I have no idea how to check the antenna either.

Can't be done anymore, used to buy a voucher from ford & they would log on & update it. No more vouchers left & the mob that did it is not interested in this system any more. Perhaps look at the kayhan screen conversion with different maps  (and for extra $ apple carplay or android auto)
