yours starts up with nav xm?????? Everytime i turn my car on no matter what it starts up on a white screen saying H3 and then goes into the radio or navigation whatever it was on. Once in a while it will say checking disk for a second. And i once had an error where it said disk error or something and i had to restart the car. Only once though.

mine never reboots or downloads xm. I have no idea what your talking about.

Maybe there is a difference since mine was a dealer XM install with the GM after market kit. But if I don't shut down the NAV before I turn off ..the XM will say " Downloading" ..this takes about 30 seconds to reload.

Is yours a factory XM Install..??

nope mine doesnt do that. Just comes right up with the xm. No 30 seconds. And the whole checking disk thing happens either way. Its just when you turn it off you dont see it cause the screen is off when it does it. If you turn it on real quick and go to nav your still waiting for the disk to spin up. To reboot your radio you can unplug it from the back or dissconnect your battery for a while. The first time you turn on the car it will start at a screen that says DELPHI insted of H3 then it says h3 and goes to the screen with a warning and you hit ok. You dont lose your presets either if i remember.

I don't like the Nav (N1), I know I am not normal.
So if yours keeps acting up you can buy mine, I am taking it out Monday and puting back my old setup.

OK..let me correct my self.....Your correct..I forgot ..the H3 Logo comes up first. And the Checking Disc comes up if you leave the radio on when your shut your rig off and resrat.

Try turning your NAV Radio off before you shut down. Then after you start up turn your NAV on....it should go directly to NAV and or XM with out the checking disc crap.
