Question Navi Question

So I got my 08 is250 from the dealership on Friday and I notices that my navi was not pin pointing my location after doing some reading on the issue I noticed that I could do this manual so I did now my concern is that nothing else is work because since it doesn't know where I'm at I can't use if for directions anymore. I did just get the car tinted and I read somewhere were I should have tinted it cuz it would interference with service does anyone else having this problem. Navi not working cuz its tinted?

My tiny shop had ceramic tint and it cost like $350. They said it was the only tint that wouldn't interfere with gps signals. So maybe.

I have ceramic tint in all my cars, it does NOT interfere with the GPS at all.

You might have to update the firmware on the navi disc. There has been a known issues with the navi not being able to locate you and going off course..

Glad it was just a loose connection and an easy fix!
