alpine NVE-N077PS

[jurka]

wondering if anyone had any similar issues and may know there the problem is.

the screen now tells me to insert the original Map disc. however its inside and once you open the lid of the unit disc ejected and if you push it it it goes in as normal.
onve the disc out--screen goes to --ALPINE
and once the disc inside-- insert original Map DISC

Also, if I disconnect the cable connecting the monitor and nav unit the music gets a bit louder. and vice versa- once the cable back it its sort of mutes by a step.


anyone had any similar problems?

thanks

You're kidding me. I think it's something in the earth's atmosphere. I have exactly the same unit and mine did EXACTLY the same thing yesterday. I got the "insert original alpine disc" I ejected, re-inserted and it said "loading new ROM" or something like that and it goes in an endless loop. It's either a software issue or hardware and if anyone knows, i'll be greatful!

UPDATE. Yesterday afternoon, I was pissed off with seeing the reboot screen all the time, so I removed the power from the Sat nav unit. Drove it as normal, parked up overnight, drove it a couple of places and got back home about 20 mins ago. Thought, what the hell, plug the power back in and now, for some reason, everything works again! Took about 2 mins for the GPS to locate the satellites, but everything seems back to normal.

So my advice is to remove the power completely from the unit for a few hours and see if that fixes your issues.

Will keep a close eye on it, it's been flawless for two years since I had it, but glitches like this make me nervous. And I may just upgrade to D310 and NVE 99

I was so pissed off about so went to east london to see my friend who got the same unit.connect his and screen appears as normal but my remote not working.back to my unit-Insert disc.took it home now.
also noticed that then sat nav connected- I cant operate folder menu from 1004 head unit.once sat nav disconected that works fine.

and recently I connected bluetooth kit, and I thought maybe I get some wires wrong or damaged smth. so maybe thats why I got that screen. but if yours fas doing similar thing out of nothing maybe its a spring affecting it?;)

Have you seen the new Pioneer X3 all-in-one? I like it.

[peppernick]

Actually, come to think of it, you have your PXA. Stick to Alpine :)

[jurka]

I got a call today from Alpine. said disconnect power,gps and monitor cable.

reconnect monitor and power. leave ignition on for 5 minutes-that will reset the unit. if not work-call us and tell us.

so tomorrow will give them a ring again. Asking to insert the disc,

worked for 2 years fine. maybe 099:cool: ?

Hi, I have the same system and a couple of weeks ago it did the same thing, locks in an endless loop of updating ROM, screen goes off then on again and it affects the volume of the CD player and radio like it is muting it for a nav instruction. I disconnected everything and reconnected and it worked but yesterday it did the same thing.

This is clearly a common fault so if anyone has a more permanent fix it would be appreciated.

Speak to Andy @ Icecold. Apparently alpine have changed the configuration of connecting to the satellites which doesn't affect the 99, but does the 77. There is a software fix that Andy is working on getting, so if you contact him, he'll be able to get hold of one for you.

Speaking of which, any news on the disc andy?

[Icecold]

just put it a call to alpine technical and they still havent finished making the software upgrade for this. i am up to 16 customers so far who what this disc!!!! will update you in a few days.

Me too - so I bought one :D

[jurka]

News. I have contacted the Alpine today on 08703333826- and they told me that the disc is posted to me.Update disc. hope that will help.

[jurka]

update.

after installing update on a NAVI unit still got same screen-
SET ORIGINAL DISC

Alpine now suggesting that it might be a faulty laser. £175 to replace.

what if its not the laser?


I m so pissed off now.

[BigFas]

Have you tried the reboot procedure? Pull out all the wires from the navi, start the car for a few mins, then plug in power and screen leads, wait for the CD to spool up, then plug in the GPS. If that works, you know your laser is fine.

Also, if the reboot DOES work, wait for it to fire up, then eject the nav disc, then put the software update disc in.

Also, once you're done with the disc, any chance I could get it off you?

[Icecold]

fas i have a copy of the disc from alpine aswell. came in last week. i did try to call you but i got an international dialing tone. let me know if you still need it.

[BigFas]

ah ok. got a few calls like that with people hanging up. I guess the ringtone scares people off :) and I don't normally get caller ID when I'm roaming.

Will try to swing by on Thursday, if not, definitely saturday

[Icecold]

no probs see you then

[jurka]

I will try do follow your instructions on navi, and yes,you can have the disc.

[jurka]

just done it again,
once the update disc inside-the screen says--unreadable disc.

once the map dvd inside-says-- insert original disc.does not react on disc cover-is it closed or open. and not giving me any menu.just plane message in few languages.
that is confusing me is how does it know that the update disc is unreadable and map disc is no good to the unit if the laser gone? how does it detects different discs?

map disc is original alpine version 04,

[jurka]

And if you want I can even post it to you Fas, cause its no use for me now anyway.

didnt all the nv77 units fail around feb/march this year? i heard a new satellite went on line that the units could not track and that alpine were aware of the problem

yep.....hence the update disc being developed by alpine to sort this.

[Icecold]

sounds like a laser issue to me too... maybe time for an upgrade altogether...

If you want to stick with the NVE 077, you can buy mine? It's working and will be plug and play into your loom and I'll even price match the repair price! Andy's already updated the software so it works fine

Thanks but I have already upgraded to Blackbird as Andy suggested. Its portable and also once in a dock its fully controlled from my new d105 unit. touch control also. Got all speed camera locations(indicate speed limit as well) on it and traffic lights.

Very easy to use (no remote needed) also got a function to avoid congestion charge area. And easy to plug off and use in another car.

Bud point for me as I used to motorway view on 077- shows on screen witch lane to stay in- the blackbird does not have that. You have to listen to guidance and watch the screen.

But for £400 including docking station I can live with that.
