The Frequency Controller which supposedly helps screen out traffic noise, etc., won't turn. What can I do?

Return it if you can, if not, contact the manufacturer. Chance are it will be cheaper to replace than to repair.

I have found that this device is a simple amplified microphone. The only adjustment is the volume control. Even the parabolic design does not seem to have any directionality as sounds emanating from behind you are also amplified. It's fun to listen to birds and night sounds, but the device is not a true scientific instrument.

Wow, this is bad news indeed. There might be a way out of this. Try a hard reset (the directions should be in the quick start manual, as the reset may be different between Nuvi's). If you can't find it, try holding the bottom right corner of the screen when powering in on to see if that works. Of course, if the hard reset fails to solve your problem, exchange your unit.

Make sure the polarity is correct. Also make sure there can be no motion for it to detect. These are sensitive units. Good luck!

I had this problem after replacing my 5-year-old (dead) battery a while back. First, I checked the wheels to see if they turned easily and found them a little sticky so I cranked them back and forth a few times; then I pushed the "day" and "minute" buttons above the center to reset, and voila! Works like a charm.

There are two sensors inside to the left and right (little round black things), slap some black polish on it. You can now manually control the time. Your Welcome :) Make sure it's unplugged when you do this.

I have the same issue. It is just one of those things you're going to have to deal with. You can try maybe looking at the owners manual but I have never seen anything for it. Sorry I couldn't help!

You're experiencing ground loop hum. Try using batteries only. If you still here loud hums, send it in for repair.

My Street Pilot seems to be more detailed with instructions. If I pass a turn off, it will notify me that I have. The Nuvi will keep silentuntil I have another opportunity to get on track taking me too far out of my way.

I had the same problem, I changed the battery (It's a CR2032 'button' battery.... available online for about 40 cents each) Once I put a fresh battery in it was fine. That was just a week ago, so I'll see how it goes. If it acts up again I will move the pins to channel 2 or 3 (less crowded area). Keep me posted, Don

I believe there is a CR2032 battery in the unit that keeps time. Try replacing that.

Hi there,I wish I knew why. Mine is acting the same way. Both times I've tried to use my camera I lost radio control as well. I was so freaked out by crashing it, I never thought to check the GPS signal indicator light. I got my repair parts Friday, and it's pretty windy today, but I'll be checking this out later in the week.

Hi Armand, The most likely issue is that the pin/channel for the spindle (pin 1 if you followed our wiring diagram) needs to be inverted. Make sure that you in fact use pin 1, that the spindle controller board "clicks" when you turn the spindle on/off on-screen, and try inverting that pin's signal. Also make sure that the spindle is turned on with its power switch, that the speed control knob is turned up (clockwise) and, if all of the above checks out to no avail, try powering the spindle directly from your power supply (black and yellow wires) to make sure its not a faulty spindle. Let us know if this helps or if the issue persists.

Sorry I can't help... This weekend the same thing happened to the unit I bought for my Mom. Please let me know if you find an easy fix for this problem.

I had the same issue. I believe it is a function that is not included in the head unit. I just had to get used to it.

No I use a charge controller for that function, I am making a circuit to turn the controller of at night as well.

hmmmm, must have gotten one where quality control was asleep at the wheel. No idea where to find another one.........maybe try and find something that will work instead? I'll check around and if I see something that may work, I'll let you know.
