Log Data
This screen allows the factory to collect log data to troubleshoot navigation system issues.




- There is no card in the "PC Card Slot", the screen appears as given.




- However, if the factory provides a PC card, insert it into the card slot (label side up). Follow the factory logging VD data procedure for gathering test data and properly ending the test.




GPS Send Time
This screen is for factory use only. It allows adjustment of the GPS time. This display updates in real time.
- "GPS Time" is the time as received from the GPS satellites. It is in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
- Date, Hour, Minute, and "Set" should not be used.




Demo Mode
This screen allows the navigation system to "drive" a route, when the vehicle is stationary. Typical applications include auto shows, and other events. This feature allows a visitor to enter a destination, and see the system "drive" to the destination. No speed signal is needed.
- To initiate the mode select "ON".
- Changing the "speed rate" in ms (milliseconds) is optional, and represents the time between updates of the VP (vehicle position) movement.
- When you increase the rate, the VP slows down because it is updated (moved) at a slower rate.
- When you decrease the rate, VP is faster because it is updated (moved) more frequently.
- 1500 ms is VP at its slowest in demo mode.
- 150 ms is VP at its fastest in demo mode (Default).
- At key off, the setting automatically returns to the default of "Off".




Mic Level
This diagnostic screen allows you to independently test the microphone and the TALK and BACK buttons. They are used to activate the voice control system. The microphone is located near the map light in the ceiling. It is directional, and works best if the voice is coming from the drivers seat.
- Press the TALK button on the steering wheel, and in a normal voice say "testing". The TALK indicator on the screen should momentarily become green, and the text "Now Recording..." should appear in yellow. If the Mic Level indicator on the screen does not briefly become green, then check the wiring from the TALK button to the navigation unit. If there is no "Mic Level" movement when you speak, then you should check the wire running from the microphone to the control unit.
- Press the BACK button on the steering wheel. This should cause the Cancel indicator on the screen to momentarily become green. If it does not briefly change to green, then check the wiring from the steering wheel BACK button to the navigation unit.

NOTE:
If the radio is off, and there is movement in the indicator-even without speaking, then ensure that the vents are not blowing on the microphone. This should resolve voice control complaints such as:
- Sometimes the system does not understand my commands.
- I have to shout at the navi for a command to be recognized.
- The system just says "pardon"




Solar angle
This screen is used to graphically display the sun's position as determined by GPS. The Navi uses the sun's angle, along with the sunlight sensor to control the driver/passenger A/C air flow. The heat that must be removed by the A/C unit varies, depending on the angle of the sun entering the vehicle.

This screen is for factory use only, and allows simulation of this feature for development purposes.
- The "manual tuning" button should always be "OFF"
- The "Angle" is the angle that the sun (shown with red "dot") is above the horizon.
- The "vehicle" value represents the angle, clockwise from North, to the direction that the vehicle position (VP) icon is pointing (always points straight up).
- The "direction" value is the angle, measured clockwise from the VP (straight up) to the suns position.
- The reliability ranges from 1 to 3, and represents the accuracy of the Vehicle Position relative to the sun.
