Navigation systems use the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) network to pinpoint the location of your car anywhere on the globe. The system in your car communicates with these satellites via microwaves and displays the vehicle`s location on a local map.
Your Navigation system may indicate that it cannot find a GPS signal (red X icon). This icon may display under normal operation in an area with poor GPS access, such as parking garages or other covered areas.
SYNC and Navigation Updates page allows you to enter your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) or log in with your Ford credentials, and select Check for update. Your current SYNC generation will appear on the right-hand side of the page.

How do I use the audio system with a navigation system?
ANSWER : If you have an Accord with an in-dash navigation system, there’s good news. Most of your audio system functionality still comes from the standard buttons on the interface. However, there are some things you can only do by using the “interface dial”. This is the large knob on the lower center portion of your system. It combines three different elements:
The enter button
The rotating knob
The selector direction pad (up, down, left and right)
The selector pad is what lets you access the menu system, and scroll through lists, menus and other items.
To access a menu item, use the arrows or knob to highlight it, and then press enter.
Why is my air system blowing out hot air in spurts and why is the temperature gauge nearing hot while in use?
ANSWER : This can be caused for a variety of reasons such as a malfunctioning thermostat, a radiator not flowing properly, a faulty coolant temp sensor or AC refrigerant not properly being supplied to the AC compressor. Your car’s AC system puts a heavy strain on your car’s engine when it runs as it requires a lot of power to run. When the AC compressor comes on it puts additional strain on the motor that may be already struggling to stay cool as a result of any of the issues named above. I would recommend having an expert from YourMechanic come to your home to diagnose and repair.
How do you use Dual Zone Automatic Climate Control with the in-dash navigation system?
ANSWER : If you have a built-in navigation system and your car also has Dual Zone Automatic Climate Control, you’ll find that operating the system is a little bit different from either the manual climate control or the non-navigation based Dual Zone Automatic Climate Control platforms. Here’s what you need to know:
Climate: Press the Climate button on the navigation touchscreen to control the system.
Rear Defrost: This turns the rear defroster on and off.
A/C: This turns the air conditioner on.
Passenger Temp: This lets you set the temperature for the passenger side of the car (automatic climate control).
Heated Seats: You have two buttons for seat heaters, one for the driver and one for the front passenger. Press the appropriate button to turn on the seat heater in that seat. Press it again to turn it off.
Recirculation: This changes the system from fresh outside air to recirculated air.
Fan Speed: This changes the speed of the fan/blower.
Auto: Push this button to turn the Automatic Climate Control system from manual to automatic.
Driver Temp: This lets you set the temperature for the driver side of the car (automatic climate control).
Power: Push this button to turn the climate control system on or off. If the Power button is off, you cannot select Climate Control from the touchscreen.
Defrost: Turns on the front defroster, which is tied to the air conditioner.

navigation on toyota corolla 2017
ANSWER : If your Corolla has the optional Entune™ Audio Plus With Connected Navigation App, then there is built in navigation. To my knowledge, Entune Audio alone does not have navigation. To be sure, simply look on the window sticker for the vehicle and you will see the options listed. Alternatively, there is a comprehensive Owner’s Manual for the vehicle and that will provide full details if there is navigation capability. If you have further questions or concerns, do not hesitate to re-contact YourMechanic as we are always here to help you.

ANSWER : Hello, thank you for writing in. If the new battery has also failed to hold a charge, the alternator is likely not working correctly. You can test the alternator at home with a voltmeter, or you can remove it and have it tested at most automotive parts stores. It will need to be replaced if it has failed. You will also want to make sure all of the electrical connections are clean, dry, and tight. For more help testing or replacing the alternator, contact our service department to schedule an appointment.
A problem with my headlight control sensor and navigation changing to night and day mode.
ANSWER : Hello Sharon, thank you for writing in. The headlight control module utilizes a photocell which detects the sunlight. The navigation system shares this information so it knows when to automatically change into "night mode". The module may be malfunctioning and need to be replaced, or the photocell itself may be damaged or covered with something. The price for replacing this unit will depend on the time spent for diagnostics, any time spent on the repair, and the part. For more exact pricing quotes or to schedule an appointment, visit our service department.
I have an Audi Avant A4 2002 car which came with a different navigation system.
ANSWER : Hi there. What I suggest is removing the navigation system from your dash and look at the back of the system. There will be a serial number that you can use to locate the type of navigation system that the vehicle came with. If your system is not working, this will help you with a replacement system. If you need further assistance with removing the navigation system from the dash, then seek out a professional, such as one from Your Mechanic, to help you.
