Re: Damaged Electrical Connector

The rubber was an excellent shout and has got rid of the of black spot. The two combined now mean that I’m not getting the loss of power anymore so thank you both for that. However the contact on the back is damaged. Should I be worried and look at repairing it or just leave it and see how it gets o ...

Re: Damaged Electrical Connector

Right so I’ve tried an electrical contact cleaner and from the first ride since it was fine. I’ll see how I get on and see if the black spot can be cleaned off but I’ve got a bad feeling it’s actually taken away some of the contact.

Damaged Electrical Connector

Re: Java program to fix the routing behaviour of the XT.

Re: Java program to fix the routing behaviour of the XT.

I’ve just gone to use this Java program and web based one on some imported trips in preparation for an upcoming holiday and they have both said that all the trips need no modification, this is despite all the trips showing as imported and not saved. Anybody got any ideas?

Re: School Alert

Is this the constant binging the XT produces near schools? Mine does this and I’m in the UK. I have speeding alerts enabled along with speed camera alerts from scdb. I find it annoying but didn’t realise that people had found a way to turn it off. I just put it down to one of the many quirks of own ...
