Put another (not necessarily working) one in, see if it *always* responds to button presses...
That's the plan... Not got one at the moment though ::)

Mine arrived from RobG today if it's any use to you? I assume that there isn't a current subscription on it though.  :-/

Might have one in the post anyway but if it hasn't arrived before I see you I can try yours :y It's only to test the audio, which will work without a subscription ;)

No point in rushing to get one in the post... I have several offers of a unit to swap in and try ;)

Audio working fine today but not picking up any masts... Does lean towards the unit IMO ::) Any chance there was a mix up and I got the dodgy one with Andy getting 2 good ones? :-?

Mute and audio worked, then didn't, then worked again ::)

Still not picking up the masts properly though ::) I'll try out a different unit when I get a chance... That'll (hopefully) confirm/rule out the unit and I can start hunting through the wiring if neccessary :y

Was that on replacement TM?

Forget the masts, if its not muting when you press the button (don't do this within first 30s of starting car), then you have a fauly somewhere.

Have you metered out the wiring as suggested last week (or the week before)?

No, that was with the existing unit. It's muting and playing audio still today but not been far enough to do anything much ::)

I haven't metered it out yet... It started working when I was thinking about it so I forgot :-[ I'll try and swap a different unit in tomorrow (I have the 2 from Andy to try now)  :y What were the symptoms of the faulty one?

Not that ;)

Meter it out, then we know. Post back when you have the results of that metering out.

Not likely to get done before the Lakes TBH... Busy tomorrow and into hospital Wednesday am. Likely to be unfit for anything much after that ::)

Might just about be able to swap the units over. Planning to try tomorrow morning before I go out :y

Didn't have time to meter it out bit have swapped for another unit and, so far, all seems good :y

Only thing is, and this may not be an issue, it doesn't beep when it first picks up a clear signal. Don't know if it will cut in automatically when it picks up traffic yet (as I haven't met any ;)) but all seems good so far. :y It certainly is picking up direction of travel and masts... Considerable progress on the last few weeks :y
