It’s Sunday again, so it’s high time for John Vanderaart’s weekly column on pcactive.nl, this time with the title Navigating you have to learn part 1. And here you will find his column from last week about a 2025 bug.
We have a somewhat older Jeep Renegade. There is little American about it, because it was built in Italy and equipped with (I believe) a Peugeot engine. We are very satisfied with our Jeep Renegade. In terms of driving then… Because in terms of navigation it has been bumbling since the day of purchase. As if the navigation is deliberately misleading us, because at certain times (always on the Boulevard Périphérique in Paris) the thing goes into a reset or the GPS receiver fails for the rest of the week. The suggested updates never help. In the meantime, we have been able to experience Android Auto and my wife has decided that she wants this type of navigation in our Jeep Renegade: “You take care of it!” The search for such a navigation alternative was actually not too bad: Bol.com. Also well paid. The 14 day delivery time turned out to be 2. In short: “Everything crescendo!” Installation should be a piece of cake. Well, that seemed more likely to be a trombone costing just 75 euros (= having it installed by the supplier). No installation instructions and what appears to be a missing but essential USB spacer. Can’t find anything at all on YouTube and TikTok. Well, what do you do then? Then you go and try something. It was noticeable that some cables and blocks were ‘double’. I once followed the return of those cables (with a handy illuminated magnifying glass, although I have not used it before). And what did I see: “One of those cables ended in the proverbial nothing.” That’s not right, you might think. So I stuck that cable into some kind of ‘something’ and behold: “Image!” To be continued…
