Navigation Diagnostic Screens on 4G?

I know on the 3G, you push in like map, cancel, another button (I can do it when I'm in front of it) and hold them in for 3 seconds, you get a diagnostic screen where you can view and adjust lots of items on the car.

Anyone know how to do this on the 4G, if it exists?

Hold down the "MAP/GUIDE", "MENU", and "CANCEL" buttons for about 3-5 seconds at the main screen.

It's a feature, not a bug! You are talking about two modes in Navigation: north up and heading up. You can vocally control it to switch them in between.

I need help locating the "Menu" button. The "Map/Guide" and "Cancel" button no problem.

A way to do this is to unlock your car with remote #2, start it and once the navigation screen comes up, press ok for the disclaimer, then press the Map button if the maps are not showing, then press in on the big Enter button (Interface dial) in the middle, select Map Information, then select either North up or Heading up. This will change how the maps are shown on the screen.

OK, that's wrong too.

You have a 2012?
There it is the DEST/Route, that's the MENU of the 2011.

That's a good one, ACURA!

It is indeed a feature, since it sores the settings separately for each remote,
like the seat position, temperature and radios stations etc.

How about reading the manual?

And what does your problem have to do with the actual thread topic?

The right combination is CANCEL + MAP/GUIDE + DEST/ROUTE

I have entered in the menu and cleared all navi settings to default. Navi said that it has to reboot...
And today it's a second day that it's stack on boot screen saying that it's looking for sattelites...

By entering into engeneering menu by pressing CANCEL + MAP/GUIDE + DEST/ROUTE a manage to test GPS and it works fine, within ine minute finds 5 sattelites and right position, but it doesn't help navi to start. Any ideas?

Only because it can see the SATs doesn't mean it has established the position.
Let it sit for a few minutes until it updated the almanac and ephemeris and stores it.

And don't do it in your garage, that might help too

Worst case I would reset the navi ( you will lose all personal data etc), but it might be worth a try, because that's what the dealership will do anyways.

Read here to give you some kind of idea:
Almanac and Ephemeris Data as used by GPS receivers
(4 July 1998)

The satellites broadcast two types of data, Almanac and
Ephemeris. Almanac data is course orbital parameters for all
SVs. Each SV broadcasts Almanac data for ALL SVs. This Almanac
data is not very precise and is considered valid for up to
several months. Ephemeris data by comparison is very precise
orbital and clock correction for each SV and is necessary for
precise positioning. EACH SV broadcasts ONLY its own Ephemeris
data. This data is only considered valid for about 30 minutes.
The Ephemeris data is broadcast by each SV every 30 seconds.

When the GPS is initially turned on after being off for more than
30 minutes, it "looks" for SVs based on where it is based on the
almanac and current time. With this information, appropriate
SVs can be selected for initial search.

When the GPS receiver initially locks onto a SV, the Garmin
display then shows "hollow" signal strength bars. At this time,
the Ephemeris data has yet to be completely collected. Once the
ephemeris data is collected from EACH SV in turn, the associated
signal strength bar will turn "solid" black and then the data
from that SV is considered valid for navigation.

If power is cycled on a GPS unit, and when turned back on, the
Ephemeris data is less than 30 minutes old, lock-on will be very
quick since the GPS does not have to collect new Ephemeris data.
This is called a "warm" start.

If it is later than 30 minutes, this is considered a "cold"
start and all Ephemeris data will have to be recollected.

If the GPS has moved more than a few hundred miles or accurate
time is lost, the Almanac data will be invalid and if you are
far enough off, none of the SVs that the Almanac thinks should
be overhead will be there. In such case, the GPS will have to
"sky search" or be reinitialized so it can download a new Almanac
and start over.

(Note: Yes! We know this is somewhat simplified information.
Yes, we know that the Ephemeris data may not have to be updated
as often as the G-12XL does it to get data to the G-12XL
accuracy.)

Guys, need your help in my situation.

In brief i need user settings files from working tl 2012 navi. They are located under CANCEL + MAP/GUIDE + DEST/ROUTE then FUNCTION SETUP then SAVE USERS DATA then EXPORT.

in order to export data you should connect to usb a clean flash drive and to export on it user settings, then on you pc (mac) you should make an archive (zip, rar, 7z, arj whatever) files and folders on flash drive and send it to me via e-mail or sharing service like depositfiles.

if someone is ready to help me please contact me via alex.trofimov@gmail.com or via PM.

thanx in advance
