are there any gs scientists out there?

I have an 02 sc430 and now a 98 gs400. Lately been trying to get some help on the navi and radio freezing up. Hoping its a simple solution im not making the trip to the dealer. Anybody have any intel?

Automotive Navigation Scientists are pretty hard to find.

Give us a better description of how and when it is "freezing up."

My radio (not Navi) froze up once. I unplugged the battery for about 20-30.. maybe try all night so the GPS gets a cold boot.

Check if the DVDs in there are the originals. I know copied ones have a lot off issues with freezing up.

Have you tried replacing the hard-drive before swapping out the entire thing?

What was the fix bro. I am really curious. At least maybe now we can have a proper solution instead of links with just the problem and people switching out the entire thing.

Ignore the haters, they seem to go away if you don't acknowledge them.

very simple solution

Just pulled the radio / navi fuse located on the passenger side of the engine bay. Everything is working fine. Very simple. To me this is one thing that this site is for- to learn and pass on knowledge. Hope that helps the next person that run into this problem

If you have a problem know and contact your moderator cause thats what my neloc fam does. Also i dont and never did provide any links. Once again your moderator links. If your job is hating by all means do you. But i post problems only for solutions not comments and so far ive gotten answers. Except on this gs forum.

yeah you have been on for years so you should know you dont need 4 posts of the SAME topic
