Does GM's On Star work with the Range plugge in? On Start can't read and give monthly reports with the Range pluged in... How about in case of crash?

Yes On Star still works and it would still work in an accident. It just does not send the monthly reports

Robert I wouldn't know, my 2007 Suburban has Onstar Disabled, I installed a BLUESTAR module to allow my cell phone to work with the existing ONSTAR phone system. The Onstar I had did not have Bluetooth and GM refused to upgrade it even though I offered to buy a newer module and a 2 year subscription to Onstar. They wanted me to buy THEIR phone minutes.

Not Sure on that... I would consult with the manufacturer of the Range device. I still use my device, and receive monthly reports that are "reduced" in nature due to the device being plugged in.

Thats odd. I had no such issue. I would have a look on Google and see if there are any forums that show such issues with your car / model. Did you start car before plugging in? What happens then?

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.

No. Your OnStar will function normally. I had a 3 month OnStar trial and it worked flawlessly while my ISGM651 was in use.

I don't know, I am having the same problem. I'll look at the battery option myself. Update-- I just changed the battery (CR-2032) and the range picked up. The battery is rated at 3 volts but the actual voltage was 2.8 volts, just enough to cut down the range.

This actually sounds like a wiring harness issue. What is the year, make and model of the vehicle? Did it come with factory OnStar? If you don't mind giving a bit more information, I'll do my best to help.

I was told by GM that that update will not work. You mus buy #22846887 from GM you will also get support from them.

That happened to me after a few months of use. I called wild game innovations and I explained to them that it wouldn't power on and they asked I send it in to them. Promptly after I sent it into them they sent me a brand new one. To this day the new one they sent me works perfectly!

Yes, I am having problems. It was working fine but today I unplugged it and plugged it in another place and it doesn't work. Went back tot the original plug and it doesn't work anywhere. The Screen shows the word POWER, but there is none. I cannot find a "do this if this" item in the manual so I have no choice but to return it. I liked the previous Sangeans (PR-D5) I bought. This was a up step but I am very disappointed.

thanks for your response.you are correct in "..that the only time your Garmin is able to operate normally is while unplugged from..".i can't operate the unit when it's plugged in.that's where my frustration came from.i doubt that i have a bad 12v adapter. but you might be right. let me replace the car's adapter with another one and i'll update this discussion.

Just quit working on a ride to Montana...not sure why. Bought my wife one and it doesn't work either. I have it connected to the port I use for my battery tender so I know that's not the problem....

Mr Keh, I bricked my unit as well years ago with your update, and I assure you I followed the procedure to the letter and did not have any power glitch during the update. The update system and product is clearly faulty. But, two years ago, when I had the issue, I simply purchased a Garmin unit, and I have warned dozens of people away from Magellan products ever since.

The programmer was good in the beginning, the transmission shifted perfectly towing my 5th wheel but later on it caused My engine to stall. I called the support guys and they had never heard of that problem before but there seems to be issues with edge programmers and ford trucks. I am currently shopping for a different programmer.

The first My SmartGPS, I had problem (got turn off when hot). The second SmartGPS, I just bought yesterday. I didn't try yet. Sorry.

I had same problem - in my case it was bad GFI plug off circuit box. See if you have power on that plug 1st. Reset GFI. If no power it's the plug. If power, it's the Orbit unit.
