Do you have a good GPS signal?

Sounds like the disk is working ok but the GPS signal is out somehow...I wonder if you can reset the system somehow...

I`d suggest to try changing the GPS receiver - a favourite to fail and would give a very similar problem to the one you are experiencing.

It's the foot part of the roof aerial.

There's a link in the drivers kick panel and obviously the link to the back of the head unit, i'd check those first!

For both Carin and Siemens based units, I got new GPS receiver from a company on egay called Allendale Stores (or similar), about 7 quid delivered iirc.  Its type you put in corner of dash (for Seimens) or on Parcel shelf (for Carin) - (only comes with 3m cable, so needs to be near unit).

Can't remember which is which, but one is SMB-M and other is SMB-F

The double DIN siemens may need jiggery pokery, due to custom plug (to hold it in cage).
