Actually there is. If the GPS antenna isn't connected properly, the GPS will go into a weird kind of slow motion mode where it can't keep up with your driving. It's really annoying.

I think the guy was using that as an excuse to drive your car, but he wasn't entirely wrong. There's a chance he was just trying to make sure he got it all hooked up correctly and didn't pinch any wires in the harness when he buttoned it all up.

I'm working on my self control. now if I can just be this good with strippers I'll be in business.

No, the GPS antenna is behind the center console. The rooftop antenna is for the radio.

I think you over reacted. I am not surprise if the the oem repair guide instruct the mechanic to test GPS by test driving. have you see broken GPS? it wont locate you or appears you have super power that you were jumping around the map as you were moving lol.

The GPS was never bad and they didn't drive it when I brought it in with the Bluetooth/voice recognition not working

I thought you said they replaced the head unit. The navigation system is in the head unit. If they put a new head unit in it, the only way they would know the navigation was working properly and that everything had been reconnected is to drive the car and watch the little arrow move around on the map.

If they hadn't tested it, and the navigation didn't work, you'd be on here whining about that instead.

Jesus Christ. It's only a car, and the guy didn't do any damage to it. Just get over it.

Looks to me that you are more upset about this thread than I was (keyword was) about the tech going all Ferris Bueler's day off on my car. Seems that you need to "get over it" and don't bother posting here if you're just going to be a jerk.

This and me. It's not fair that a small person can express himself all he wants but I have to keep it all bottled in because I'm big & scary.

The irony is I don't have a physically violent bone in my body. Zero.


edit: sorry, had to be done.

What dealer was it, so I can avoid them? I've used Subaru of Gwinnett twice for service, and both times I came back no additional miles were on the car, and service was very quick.

based on your OP, I'd say you embarrassed them enough to where you should feel great. Screw that guy that took your car out tho, that's like having a guy come up and grab your girl's ass. Not cool man, not cool.
