What to do if my Pioneer AVIC-X940BT Car Receiver power doesn’t turn on?

If your Pioneer Car Receiver's power isn't turning on or the navigation system isn't operating, first double-check all connections to ensure they are correct. Also, if a fuse has blown, determine the cause, replace the fuse, and ensure you use a fuse with the correct rating. As an additional measure, park your car safely, turn off the engine, switch the ignition key to off (ACC OFF), then restart the engine and power on the navigation system again.

Why is my Pioneer AVIC-X940BT Car Receiver showing a significant positioning error on the map?

A
Anthony OdomAug 13, 2025
If your Pioneer Car Receiver cannot position your vehicle on the map accurately, check the GPS signal reception and the position of the GPS antenna. Obstacles may be blocking satellite signals, so continue driving until reception improves, and keep the antenna clean. Poor satellite positioning can also cause this, so continue driving. Noise might cause the built-in microprocessor to operate incorrectly, in this case park your vehicle in a safe place, turn off the engine, turn the ignition key back to off (ACC OFF), then start the engine again, and turn the power to the navigation system back on. Wait until reception improves if the quality of signals from the GPS satellites is poor. When using a cellular phone, keep the antenna of the cellular phone away from the GPS antenna.
