Default wierd navi screen\gps problem. what could it be?

No problems with the navi screen or gps as of right now. But everytime the bass in my car hits (little sound system) the screen gets fuzzy... ONLY when using gps. The best way to describe it, is like the amp is causing some sort of interference. As said this is only on the navigation\gps screen. If i switch to climate,cd,audio, information ect i see no problem. What could this be? I am a little concerned since now the problem is constant while driving, with no amp kr subwoofer installed.

Any ideas anybody?

At first it sounds like you, or your installer, may have tapped into the Navigation systems wiring for the Amp remote power-on trigger which introduces noise into the video feed. Don''t ask how I know this has this effect.

Now if the Amp is removed and you still have the issue I would still look at the Amp wiring and see if its tapped int the navigation system. Also look at the wiring in general at the navigation unit. Anything tapped in to loose needs to be addressed.

Hmm.. That would be a great thing to look into but i did the install myself and the amp turn on is fused with my cigarette lighter. I tried removing the amp and even moving the location of it but it didnt help.

The thing is, it did not do this before.
It would do only when i was running a amp but now its constant.
