Hello to all, I am French and I need your help. I have a big problem with my WD6050. He is new and he gets no satellites thus I cannot use the GPS. I have no grip USb. Have you a patch for that?
If yes, how I have to make for installed this update?
Thank you for your help.

This is very unusual and I suspect that you have not wired up or placed the gps antenna correctly, Check this 1st and ensure you have not trapped or broken the wire and that the sms/gps connector is on properly.
The antenna must see the sky (the brown plastic face) and not be obstructed by any metal. (glass and plastic is ok).
Go to the Wince screen by pressing "Navi" with no SD card in the GPS slot, this will load WinCe.
Scroll along the bottom Icons to the gps icon and see if you have satellite contact
(blue vertical bars). If you have then you can proceed to your Navi program, if not then I repeat you must have an Antenna problem as it is unusual for Wince and the Navigation module to be faulty. Try a different or new Antenna.

Hi, i have a VW Golf6 (i'm from Italy) and last week i received my WD-6050 from Waywell.
The unity worked fine for 2 days (everything is working fine), but the third day it was impossible to turn it on. I tried to reset it, but without success. Even the illumination does not follow the command given bu the light switch (it seems to be completely dead)... I solved the problem disconnecting the power cable for few seconds. The unit started to work fine for other 3 three days, than i got the same identical problem...

any suggestion?

thanks in advance

As Bazzle say's, and tell him the Can Bus modual is faulty, ask for a new one and have it exchanged locally as the cheapest option, to get it exchanged will cost you a two way courier charge.

ok so i got my unit in today and its awesome!!!

some questions i have for you guys:

1) when i use the front usb with the ipod it charges it when i play music from the ipod ONLY. when i switch the video for some reason it stops charging, any ideas?

2) i cannot pair my iphone with the unit. when i enter the code "1234" as designated in the manual the iphone does not connect and just says "cannot connect", any ideas?

3) and lastly my factory ipod dock is not being recognized as the cd changer, is there a fix for this??

otherwise everything is working beautifully from the external usb hook up to the naviagtion and all that good stuff. i wish there was a way to brighten the navigation display a little more but i guess its a sacrifice.

For now I have my receiver on the dash...

One obvious spot is under the grill in the centre of the dash...I havent found a DIY to remove the grill though.

Do you mean the top air conditioning vent in the centre of the dash?

s0rserer,

You can adjust the brightness of the NAVI screen by exiting the nav software. In the WINCE shell, go right to the second screen/page and choose the icon with the light globe. Here you can adjust the brightness and contrast of the screen. :smile:
