Reminds me, I really must get around to removing the Carin from the MV6, as I really need the space in the boot for york, and I have the NCDR satnav fitted anyway.

Trouble is, that means the radio has to come out again to get the screen out, and I hate doing that, as the aerial plugs that Vauxhall use really, really, really are really, really, really crap!

As soon as you switch it on, it should find the satellites and tell you where you are. I mean, that's the point, surely. My cheapo binatone never puts a foot wrong (except the time I got lost in a black hole in Nottingham)

it knows where it is within a few minuites iof power up! you can input your rough posistion to kind of help it

anyway i gave up with locating the aerial on the dashboard so i relocated my GPS Aerial in the back parcel shelf behind the little grill thing works a treat :y

if its an elite though that might not work as the rear blind :-?

The Carin needs to be told where it is (once).  If yours loses this after ign off, back to the wiring, check it has a perm 12v, as well as ign 12v.
