Default After Market Navigation system isssues on 2010 RX 350

Hi guys,
does any have any experience with that after market navigation system on 2010 RX 350. We bought one about a month back but unfortunately it didnt come with a manual. This is the model

http://www.diycardvd.com/2010-2012-l...em-p-1369.html

We are having 2 issues with it.
- the temp sensor display on the screen can display temp below 0 Celsius. this is a cosmetic thing so not a big deal
- the bigger problem is that radio station. its doesn't go above 99.9 . it resets itself back to 88.1 as soon as it crosses the 99.9 mark. i just cant figure out why this is happening

Was really hoping someone who has this installed in their car can give some feedback?
i have tried contacting the manufacturer for the manual but to no avail. he is refusing to send it to me.

please help.
thanks in advance.

Sounds like both are related to a software bug. Can you switch to F instead of C? 32F=0C, so at least you will get some readings below 0C.

If those are both software bugs, I would be scared to death of that company's products as those should both have been very obvious problems if their software was properly tested. I agree that they both sound like software issues given the distinct numbers where those issues present themselves.

The C to F test is a good idea. However, I'd take a couple data points by switching back and forth to see if they really programmed in F = 9/5*C + 32.

thanks for the feedback guys. Just wanted to provide an update. Turns out that the display does not have the minus symbol. so negative temperatures cant be displayed. I m from canada and more comfortable seeing the temp is centigrade so i guess i will have to live with that.

still no clue why the radio station cant go above 99.9 though. still cant get any feedback from the manufacturer. .

thanks again.
