So, a couple of days ago, started the car as normal, nav screen rolled open, displayed phone contacts synchro message as normal, but then, message came up saying phone call was in progress.
I couldn't get the message to go, even turned my phone off & back on, so I had to turn the car off & back on then the message went away, but screen showed 0 satellites visible & indicated I was in the middle of a field. I had this part of the problem once before & had a new GPS aerial fitted which sorted the problem, so I thought it couldn't really be that. The issue continued almost all the way through my journey,(@10 miles) then just before I parked up, it suddenly found 4 satellites & displayed my correct location on the map.
Also, I noticed that my headlights were on, even though it was a sunny day. Turning the headlights off & then back to auto didn't solve this. Eventually I turned the headlights to "on" then all the way to off then back to auto & they went out.
When I got back in the car it was dark, but when I opened the car on the remote, the headlights didn't come on, and they always do if it's dark. They did come in when I started the car, but I had the 0 Satellites visible thing again for @ 5 miles, then it found 5 & worked fine the rest of the journey home.
I have had no issues since, no fault messages, or anything recorded in the log. The car runs out of manufacturers warranty in a few weeks, & also goes in for its 3rd service around that time. I was wondering whether to mention this, so it's down as having happened prior to the warranty expiring, but I know that there is little chance of them even trying to do anything, as there is currently no fault.
I was just wondering if anyone has ever had anything like this with their Z & if so, what did it turn out to be ? If in fact you ever discovered that.
