Hi all
Ive been getting the gps fault on my screen
And is goin back tomorrow morning to be
sorted. Just wondering when its sorted will the
screen be the same or is it going to have a different
layout?
Thanks

I've had that problem especially when it's colder. My 208 is at the moment at the dealer for that fault and I got a message today that I can pick it up tomorrow. They have asked Peugeot France for help and got a message back to replace a wire behind the SMEG unit. I'll let you know if the problem is sorted now.

Thanks i got mine back the same day they said it needs a new screen all together so now got to wait 2-3 week for a screen coming.

 

[Carrinthe]

I got mine back,.... problem not solved. I also have to wait for a few weeks for a new screen.

Hi I am also waiting on a new screen the gps fault is so annoying. Do you reckon Peugeot woud update new screens with sat nav for the inconvienence as it is a new car ?

 

[Carrinthe]

I don't think so, there aren't any new maps.

Navteq told me they expect new mapdata in oktober/september.

 

[Pete6027]

Hey again thanks for replying to my post I actually do not have sat nav in my current touch screen but because of the inconvienence was wandering if Peugeot would install it alongside with the new screen I am waiting on. Did Peugeot / your dealership give you any indication as to how long the new screen would take to arrive. The gps fault is an absolute nightmare in the morning having to constantly click it away multiple times. The sooner I get a new screen the better.

 

[Carrinthe]

Yes, they gave me an indication,..... I've got a call today that they got the unit earlier than they thought and I could come by.

Replacement only took 15 minutes. But apparently they only replace the screenitself. Firmware and my settings remained intact. I don't give you much hope for the installation of the satnav. It's not just the software that's different but also theantenna base, wires and the screen between theref-counterenspeed-counterthat's different.

Tomorrow I'll know if it has helped.

 

[Pete6027]

That is good news for you let me know if it resolves the fault issue. I am hoping my dealership contacts me soon with news that my new screen has arrived Thanks for your reply

 

[Carrinthe]

Well,... this morning with -4C,.... NO WARNINGS!

It seems like the problem is resolved with this new screen.

 

[Pete6027]

That is excellent news. I have been speaking to my Peugeot dealership today and they have my new screen. I am getting it fitted tomorrow so fingers crossed.

 

[Carrinthe]

Keep us updated! I'll keep my fingers crossed. It's really annoying.

 

[Pete6027]

Yeah everything in the cars great apart from that dreaded fault in the mornings. What model of the 208 have you out of curiosity?

 

[shaun_25uk]

I have the same problem but it only started a few weeks ago with the weather change and soon goes away when the car heats up. What a pain, who said new cars are troyble free ;-):-|

I don't have the GPS fault but on frosty mornings my touch screen has been going crazy. It randomly changes radio stations itself like someone is using the screen until the car warms up. It's booked in for inspection in just over a week.

 

[Pete6027]

My touchscreen sometimes does that too. You more than likely will be looking at having tbe screen replaced

 

[PsychoMania]

The guy at the dealership said it would likely be ascreenreplacement, he mentioned the GPS fault people had been seeing and said it was probably similar to that.

 

[Pete6027]

Hi all I have had the screen replaced and all seems well so far I will check it again after the car has been left untouched for a few hours

 

[Pete6027]

Well I started the car up this morning and thankfully no gps fault has appeared so the new screen has seemed to resolve the problem. I love my 208

 

[Carrinthe]

@Pete6027Great news, I hope the new screen stays trouble free.
