BRZ NAV not finding satellites
 

With my BRZ, it seems like if I don't leave the car on in the open for over a minute before driving off, then the NAV might never find the satellites. Because of this I have made a couple of half hour trips on the highway where the NAV never showed me moving. If I wait a couple of minutes before I drive off, then it seems to work OK. Has anyone else had this problem?

I had a similar experience: today I drove on a road with a lot of tree cover and it lost the signal. It didn't reacquire for about 4 miles even though I had a pretty good view of the sky for most of it. I later drove through the same section and it lost the signal again, though that time it reacquired immediately.

If it happens again, I'll pull over to see how long it takes to update.

Yeap, it sucks.

Thanks for replying. I guess my unit is acting "normally".

Report these issues or they have no chance of ever being fixed!

+1. Subaru and Toyota are paying very close attention to these cars to ensure the best customer satisfaction. You want to tell them that this is happening so they can search for a solution!

I actually had a similar experience last night even though it had been fine previously. I was sitting in my underground garage at my apartment for about 10 mins setting up radio stations etc. It never acquired a satellite signal. I drove out for a bit just to cruise and I noticed that it never picked up the signal.
This morning before work I turned the car on and waited for it to drop to 1k RPMs and took off for work. Sporadically it would lose signal but pick it up after 5-15 seconds. Very odd.

Yeah it seems like it doesn't have signal more often than it does for me. I have taken several half hour trips where it never found the satellites.

Same here. The XM is not that good either but not sure if that is the car or just the way XM functions. Previously I had Sirius and that never went out, ever.

My XM is reception is pretty ok. Sometimes gets staticky.

I lost nav reception this morning on my commute to work. Besides that the navigation has worked wonderfully for me, it doesn't pick up traffic though which irks me.

Same with me. I just made a trip to work via back roads instead of the highway. I wanted the Nav to help because there is no simple route. But, even with stopping in a school parking lot to give it a clear view of the sky for 5 minutes, it stayed confused until I was a couple of miles from work. Finally, when I stopped again in a industrial parking lot, it managed to lock on the satellites. It seems to stay confused much of the time: but when it does happen to lock as shown on the system status page, it usually stays locked for the rest of the trip.

I haven't used my Nav much, but when I have, it's worked fine. The only time I got the disconnected notice was when I had just pulled out of a parking garage. And even then, it was working fine, so the notification was just late.. Weird.

Now, supposedly there was a high level of solar radiation last week. That can cause gps issues. But I don't think it's an issue now...

My nav works fine, but the traffic notifications don't (similar to the other thread).

I'd love to see what Subaru is able to do about it.

No issues here.
