Rebooting the Unit
If the unit is experiencing problems whilst driving, a reboot may solve this issue. To reboot the unit without turning the ignition off and back on, simply press "Setup" four times.

Hidden "Service" Test Menu
There is an inbuilt menu in the Connect Nav+ unit that allows the user to ensure various modules are working, and that the speakers, antennas and GPS/GSM systems are functioning normally. To access this menu, do the following continuously and quickly:

1. Press "Setup".
2. Press a "Connect" softkey (i.e. push either button 10, 11 or 12 of the 12 buttons along the bottom of the screen).
3. Within a second, press a "Connect" softkey (same as above) 3 times repeatedly.
4. Press "Enter".
5. Scroll down to the newly appeared button "Service", and press "Enter".

Turning Screen Off Whilst CN+ Is In Use
Simply push and hold down "Main" for about 5 seconds. Press any function button (e.g. main, nav, audio, tel, map) to turn it instantly back on.


Thanks, and happy foruming!
