I keep posting in the two different threads but I think waiting for the signal when starting is probably the key to this. I did a few more tests and found whenever I wait until the system starts up and acquires a signal it works fine. If I leave before things are activated it's really hit or miss whether it works or not. Just a few minutes ago it ended up becoming active after sitting at a stoplight.

The traffic stuff doesn't seem to work for me either.
