Advent released this information today regarding the DST bug that affected iGo Primo-equipped head units:

 

 

Complaint: Since Daylight Savings Time my clock has been off for one hour.

 

Issue: Nav-N-Go the makers of iGO My Way maps has identified a glitch in some time zones that causes the map software to adjust the radio clock one hour in advance of the actual time.

 

Solution: iGO will release a map system update on Thursday April 12, 2012 to correct this situation. In order to receive this update; remove the SD card from the radio, place it in a SD Card reader attached to their computer and go to www.naviextras.com on the internet. When the update is loaded on the Map there is no further changes needed. There is no update to run in the radio. When finished just re-insert the SD card into the radio and run the map as usual.

 

Once at Naviextras.com you must register the map (yes this is free) and download the Naviextras Toolbox program. There are step by step instructions in the lower left corner of the page in a box labeled “How To Get Started”. The instructions even include pictures to show how to complete the installation and get the update.

 

The Naviextras website is a great resource, it will make updates to the map operating system, offer a free map backup, and allow additional mapping information such as Red Light and Speed Camera databases to be purchased and added to the navigation system. By loading the map into your computer and checking back with Naviextras from time to time you will be able to stay up to date with all changes.

 

This is also where you can purchase a new map upgrade when available.

 

As a FREE service to the user, the system will check the map the first time it is run in the Naviextras Tool Box program and if a map data update is available, this will be done for free. This is an update that adds streets, addresses and POI (Points Of Interest). This is a $99.00 value.

 

Note: This must be run within 90 days of purchasing and navigating with the system the first time. Map operating system updates are always free, Map upgrades and updates must be paid for at the time of downloading from Naviextras.com. Advent does not sell or offer updates.

 

Please also note that iGO is a third party vendor, Advent Tech support cannot make changes or assist with naviextras.com web site interaction or issues. If you have a problem at the web site please click on the “SUPPORT” tab at the top of the page and follow the instructions listed in order to have your question about the web site answered.

 

THIS UPDATE IS ONLY FOR iGO MAPPING IN ADVENT OE SPECIFIC RADIOS – THIS WILL NOT WORK WITH NAVMATE BY HORIZON OR ON ANY OTHER RADIO. USING THIS UPDATE IN A RADIO NOT LISTED MAY CAUSE YOUR SYSTEM TO OPERATE INCORRECTLY OR NOT AT ALL.

Thank you Walt! I find it interesting that the problem was with the NAV software and not with the OS.

Me too, but I don't know if the problem was with the time/date information that's passed to the OS by the navi or what exactly the relationship is. The important thing is that they've identified it and are fixing it...

Got the updates this morning. Put the SD Card in the reader, started Naviextras Toolbox, signed in and everything worked automatically. I made a backup as suggested by the prompt, which took about 10 minutes and then the system updated itself. The clock problem appears to be fixed as advertised.

 

You will be prompted to put the SD Card back into the truck and start the NAV - then remove the card and go back to Naviextras for more updates, which I've done. The system will then update the maps with the most recent data. I'm doing that now and it's taking some time. My estimate to complete is about two hours at the present rate. I decided to go ahead with the map updates while they are available and also to ensure I have the most recent maps and info. You can choose to wait, but there is a chance that the map updates won't be available later due to time restraints.

 

Editing this post to say that each state map is updated individually by the system, which is probably a good feature in that a lost connection with the internet won't require a complete restart of the download to finish the update. iGO will know which states are up-to-date and only download those that still need the updates.

It should fix the problem - try it and see. Also, make sure you have the time zone set correctly for your area.

I updated mine last night. It didn't update any of maps, though, as far as I can tell. There was no second download after the initial update.

The only thing the software will do is enable you to download updates. :lol:

 

The interface is web-based. I have it on my work laptop which has a real aggressive virus/spyware/malware protection package and I haven't heard a peep from it.

 

 

Did the first update last night. Said I had to go restart the deck before proceeding with the map update. I got sidetracked generating reports for work and I did those till it hurt to look at the computer so I went to bed. :lol: First update fixed the clock issue. Maps being updated now.

Too late for me to test this theory, but if someone has not applied the update yet, if they would enable the DST in the IGO settings, then restart their OGM-1. After it restarts, go into Settings, page 2, and set your time correctly, and make sure the time zone is correct. BTW, make sure Nav is NOT set to run auto on start up. Do not start NAV at all. Listen to radio, or watch dvd. See if the time changes on its own. I know that if NAV is run, the clock does change on its own.

If the time stays correct when NAV is not loaded, but changes when it is loaded, this means NAV is pulling time from the satellights, and applying DST rules incorrectly, then updating the o/s.

Mine is working correctly with the fix.

After the update I've seen a major upgrade in the NY maps :)

 

 

Good to hear! Not too bad for free, huh?

      An ultra wealthy man had the most beautiful daughter. But, there was a problem. Everything she touched would melt in her hands. No matter what, Metal, Wood, Stone. Anything she touched would melt. She could not feed herself. Because of this, men were afraid of her. Nobody would dare marry her. Her father was despaired. What could he do to help his daughter? He consulted doctors, scientists and anybody who could solve this problem. Finally one of them said, "If your daughter touches one thing that does not melt in her hands, she will be cured." He was overjoyed and came up with a plan. The next day, he held a competition. Any man who could bring his daughter an object that would not melt in her hands would be given billions of dollars to marry her. Three extremely intelligent and handsome young men took up the challenge. The first brought a very heavy steel rod, But alas, when the she touched it, it completely melted in a matter of seconds. He sadly went away. The second brought a beautiful diamond, knowing diamonds were one of the hardest substance in the world and would not melt. But alas, once she held it in her hand, it melted. He too was sent away disappointed. So now, there was one left He was very nervous & sweating. He approached the daughter & said, “put your hand in my pants pocket and feel what is in there." She did exactly what he asked. She felt something very hard. She held it in her hand, squeezing it as hard as she could. It did not melt & remained extremely hard. Her father was overjoyed. Everybody was overjoyed. She was finally cured. Nothing never, ever melted in her hand again. They married and they both lived happily ever after, raising a wonderful family. Question: What was in the the groom’s pants pocket??? Answer below ↓ M&Ms of course! They melt in your mouth, not in your hand. What on earth were you thinking?

      There's a bunch of tea leaves that you've read, but in any case the delayed timing is unusual. Not sure how that relates to the rich at idle vs. 'normal' while driving.   If you're in this deep, might be worth investigating, and re-learning the sensor. What have you got to lose? Plus, it properly fixes the timing cover leak.

      The only problem I have seen this cause is longer crank times.

      Injector is being sent off today for rebuild and I estimate I'll have it back in 10 days or so.   It may not be the injector...of course...now that I've torn down the intake again. But, let's rule out the injector and replace those spider legs that have been almost rubbed through.   The truck has always had negative timing and I'm reading "normal" timing at warm idle should be +16 or so. I'm negative 16 to 25 or more, and it's always been like that since I bought it.   A light turned on upstairs last night in the old noggin. Rare, I know...   This will be wild, if it turns out to be the cause!   In 2001, according to the old service documentation, the muffler was replaced. Why? I have no idea, it wouldn't have been rusted through by then. But they did a crappy job.   In 2019, another shop replaced it and noted the prior install was poorly done on the work order. "Exhaust system vibrates on crossmember". Except...I guess they just left it be? I believe the husband, the couple who were original owners, had passed by then. Maybe she said it's just not worth it to have the exhaust system fixed and declined repairs. Very few miles were driven between 2019 and 2025.   The exhaust system vibrates heavily on the crossmember and you can feel it and REALLY hear it, even today. Not always, but at idle, it gets going pretty good sometimes.   What if....   ....What if that's enough to trigger one or both of the knock sensors? Could it be tricking the sensors into sensing knock, so it's pulling timing aggressively? Pulling timing heavily means it's firing after the piston reaches full height which means incomplete burn which means the O2 sensor is sensing a rich condition, which means I've been chasing my tail, and what I thought was an inconsequential problem (janky exhaust) has been THE issue for this truck for 25 solid years?   That would be wild. Maybe it IS wild.   The service documentation thereafter, for years, shows visits for rough idle, replacing O2's, replacing the cat, replacing plugs and wires, a misfire condition, like they could never solve the issue. The injector has been replaced 4 times in 80k miles, that's just crazy.   The secondary theory....   The engine has clearly had a leak at the front seal for a very long time (the greasy trench...). I think the truck changed hands quickly ~2025 because there's Napa receipts from someone I don't recognize in the ownership history. They apparently replaced the timing cover seal, and they did a terrible job. There's RTV smeared all over and the leak I had reduced to a weep by snugging the front oil pan bolts is now a leak again.   HOWEVER....I read about replacing the crankshaft position sensor. Any time the ckp sensor is disturbed or timing cover is removed, the truck requires relearning, and that can only be done through a bi-directional scan tool. Skippy with the RTV probably didn't do the relearn procedure is my guess. His scan tool is lost in a pile of RTV goo somewhere.   So, it's very possible the sensor has been disturbed and the truck is just running on the old learn data but not setting a code for anything. The distributor has since been replaced and so has the camshaft position sensor, so all bets are off for that thing.   In the theme of one step forward, two steps back, I returned the accumulator for the AC. The gal I've been working with at O'Really's has been great. She refunded it under manufacturer's defect and we compared it to the replacement I ordered, and sure enough, the replacement is machined very differently (and a gauge actually fits on it!).   Got it home, installed it, started vacuuming it down.... and I couldn't get good vacuum.   The high side service port, where I replaced the old GM ball valve suspecting that was a source of the previous leak....well, I've clearly exposed whatever pre-existing crack in the line where the service port is welded, and made it much worse. Blessing in disguise? Except there goes another $25, now I'm waiting for a replacement AC line.   In 10-ish days ALL the parts will be here. Rebuilt injector, new exhaust system, new cat, new high pressure AC line.   Oh, did I mention the squeaking ISN'T coming from the AC pump? The truck still squeaks when started, and there were words after I started it with the new AC pump installed. But, there was more to replacing the AC pump for just a squeak. A truck with good working AC is something of value, for the comfort alone.   I've ordered a new harmonic balancer because, 30 years is a good run for one of those. Rule it out. The squeak may be something more sinister, though. I'm worried about that ckp sensor and if it was shimmed correctly, or if the timing set was installed correctly. The squeak may be coming from UNDER the timing cover.   At this point, once I get it put back together, I'm thinking I'll take a 50 mile victory lap and then promptly put it up for sale. This truck is cursed. Betty, from beyond the grave, doesn't want anyone messing with her Blazer. Or maybe she's getting revenge for 30 years of shop visits with that thing.

      3.59 Kroger’s in Montgomery Tx. 20 cents higher than most around here. Very unusual. Saturday they were 3.49.
