Xtrons satnav and 3G dongle

[Dickie524]

Hi folks, I have got a bit further with my Xtrons system installation and I'm pretty happy with it so far.
I am however struggling on the Navi which I can't get to work. I know the GPS is recieving as it shows good signal from the satellites and it correctly locates home on a Google map and map coordinates.

But if I try Navi setting I get the following message (on picture).

Also, regarding 3g. Will any 3G dongle work, (say £15) or does it have to be a £30 Xtrons one? And do they need a sim card?

Thank you all! Rich82368

Have you looked in the settings in case you need to point the unit to the cards .exe file ?

If not where is the card from does it have all the necessary files ?

Thanks - will investigate. The card came with the unit from a really nice seller. I'd be really surprised if I'd been sold a pup, but obviously no guarantees...!

In that case probably just need to find the .exe file in settings

That looks like your license folder is missing or has become corrupted.

Success!!

I found my way to APK installer, uninstalled then reinstalled. Long wait.... Seems to work! It's up to date with current road closures etc too 🙂82376

Glad you got it working, still got to get the traffic working on mine.

Does it need a 3G dongle and SIM card for that to work, theoretically?

I've got mine tethered to my phone, it does need a connection of some sort.

[Dickie524]

I think it must have got it by being within reach of the home WiFi...? Magick.

I think I'll investigate getting a 3G dongle.... Do you happen to know whether any android one would suffice? Or does it have to be an Xtrons one do you think?
Thanks!

Sorry I don't know whether a generic one would work or not.

If it's like the navalls it would need to be an xtrons one purely because it has the drivers for the dongle.

[Dickie524]

Probably not worth the gamble in that case. Cheers bud.

I’ll never use another satnav installed on a car, much prefer satellite view Google maps on my phone, it’s fantastic

[Dickie524]

You're probably right, and that's what I've used for ages, but I get annoyed by having stuff fitted that doesn't work!!!
