This discussion is about the Garmin 360 though. You can buy a whol new Garmin for about $150-200.00.

Bummer you're having these problems. Other than connecting to Internet for radio and firmware updates, I haven't tried anything else over the Internet. Never had any problems with the receiver. Always powers up too. Unfortunate that their support channel is helpful.

Should work fine as long as there are no obstrutions to its view of the satellites.....your zip code is listed in the instructio booklet.....

Load the supplied software and "check for software updates". If there are any (they do not seem to happen very often. I have found one update in 8 months), they can be downloaded, then transferred to the GPS via the supplied GPS cable.

I've also been having difficulty setting up for remote viewing. I am hung up trying to figure out port forwarding as well.

This is Kevin From ReplacementRadios. Satellite capability is required for this particular interface. You must have a button with SAT or XM on it to use this.

Same problem here. Read the comments below, added a little pressure to join them up and it worked! Thanks guys!!

I just bought one and the GPS won't acquire any satellites . My GS4 sitting right next to it gets 17 satellites immediately. I am returning for replacement, hoping the new one works better

I had the same issue except with satellite tv. Seems to me it was a matter of having the unit tuned to either ch. 3 or 4. I think I called their not so helpful help desk.

I have the same issue from time to time. Turning off the system and turning it back on usually takes care of it. There is no true fix for the problem. If it continues to hang, you may just want to reset the system to factory defaults. One of my many hang-ups with this HTIB.

This is an issue for tech support. good luck with that--they are hard to reach.

I have never been able to get it going and/or find the time to call for support AGAIN! Sorry I can't help you...good luck

Thanks for the suggestion, Mickey. I tried the same thing, but still no success. I've restart, reset, and doublechecked everything I can think of, but still no connectivity to the station list. Argggg...

I have cable, not satellite. I got the codes over a year ago, but they didn't work. And I don't still have them, sorry. I had to upgrade to the most current version of remote with my cable provider, and then it worked fine. It didn't cost anything with my service provider, but I'm not sure with Satellite.

I based my original review on the unit my friend has. I ordered one based on that. However, when I received mine it won't lock on to satellites and I'm having to return it for repair. I have since read several reviews and they have had the same problem. At this time I wouldn't recommend this unit to anyone.

First of all make sure your unit is set to "yards" not meters (under Settings menu). If the unit successfully locates satellites and finds your course, most accuracy issues are related to the course map itself, not the unit. If that's the case all you would need to do is contact IZZO and have them update the course map. Then you sync a new course map database to your unit via their website.

I think I may understand your issue; the satellite signal strength changes over and over even though you're not moving. My particular unit takes some time now and again to finally latch on to a satellite signal. I've never really watched nor been concerned with the signal strength since the unit seems to be functioning perfectly. You don't mention your surroundings, however. I can tell you that inner city with all of the signal-blocking tall buildings for the GPS to deal with, I have had the unit be unusable. Is it possible this is contributing to your signal strength variations?
