    I just installed a Rosen Nav. Nav works, radio works, but they won't both work at the same time.

    The radio works great but as soon as I switch to Navigation, I lose radio audio. Also lose CD audio when I switch to Nav.

    Am I missing some setting or is this a warranty issue?

    I installed mine 3 months ago and yes, you are supposed to be able to listen to music while in Navigation mode.
    I don't remember exactly what i did but i know i did something with the setting.
    sorry, im sure somebody else with the Rosen will.

    I have answered my own question.

    If I go to Menu/Settings/Video Nav and turn Video Nav off (grayed out) the radio and Nav work at the same time. I don't understand the full implications of that yet, but it works.

    Once I figured out the problem I was able to find the answer in the dodgy Rosen Manuals.:confused:

    So far, weird user interface, Nav sat receiver works fantastic. My garage has aluminum foil backed sheathing on the roof , chicken wire in the stucco walls and an aluminum garage door. The nav will hold sat lock when I drive in the garage most of the time and pick up sats from a cold start some of the time in the garage. I have had several car and handheld
    GPS units. This is the best GPS I have had for working on weak signals.

    I mounted the antenna on top of the dash in the center L-R and as far forward as I could put it. I also mounted it on the adhesive backed steel plate that came with it. Nav antennas like a metal backplane.
