Why is my radio not working after the battery was disconnected/replaced?
The radio requires a security code to be entered. (also known as PIN number). A security code is either 4 or 6 numbers long for most of Eurovox Units.
How can I obtain my security code?

The serial number and model number of the piece of Eurovox equipment is essential. A new security code card will then be mailed to you and your details will be registered in our database.
Why does Go Technologies charge for supplying a security code?
Security and administrative reasons. We enter your details in our database so if you lose it again you only have to identify yourself and give the serial number and we will give you the security code again, we also send you a new code card.
How do I enter my security code to my Eurovox radio/cassette/CD Unit?
Refer to the owner's manual of your equipment. Turn ignition key to 'Accessories' and a number '1' or code '1' or similar will appear. Press corresponding preset buttons as you read you security code. If you have a 6 digit security code, the display will count the preset buttons pressed. i.e. display will show '1' the '2' then '3' and so on up to '6' regardless of which number is pressed. If the security code is correct, the radio will turn on. If the security code is incorrect, the display will show '2' or 'code 2' or similar.

The cursor won't track on the road correctly or appears on parallel streets?
If the Nav has been replaced or upgraded, it will require a 'break in' time for the 'inertia' system to learn the characteristics of the new driver. Each different user of the system (vehicle driver), should select a different USER No. at the start menu. Different driver using the same USER No. may cause the system to erase previous inertia learning data depending on driving patterns, causing the unit to start relearning driving characteristics all over again. This is referred to as the 'learn count' (Diagnostics/Sensor Status). Bias LC < 20, Orientation LC < 50.
