i checked all the connections to nav tv and they were all good and the green lights were on.
I decided to test nav without the navtv connected and it worked fine.

Sht! So i wonder if the module(s) are bad but they still work fine with the cameras.. hmm

*Even if its the modules i dont see them separate on the site :(

since you disconnected the nav tv it might have reset it. it relies on constant power so a reset might have fixed it. also sometimes the pins in the harnesses dont make a good connection, even though the plug is in. check to see if the pins have spread out. use a pick to tighten them if necessary

Yeah i made sure to check the pins, my short time with audio installation has taught me lol. They all looked good i made sure all the connections points were firmly together. I believe one may have be just loose enough to stop power for a second when bouncing around. I have navtv hooked back up and it went to a sync restart screen. the nav screen seems more responsive but ill do a test run when i head out later.

my rear defrost light stopped working, however the defrost still works so i have an issue with the dash bezel itself

This may be what is going on also. Meh rear defrost is just a luxury so if it dont work oh well lol


Thanks for the help everyone :)
