Default check the ground wire behind your rns-e plug/play harness...

....not of the aftermarket rnse harnesses have a CDC ground wire for the Sym I conversions....so you have to add it yourself. This was the case with mine when I installed it back in October.

Luckily, the phatbox's outer metal shield can ground out against the metal bracket where the CDC was mounted.

See this thread on how to use the pbox with the RNS-E. The pbox is a bit harder to navigate with the RNS-E...so it takes a little bit of time to get used to it. A word of caution -- get acquainted while you are in your driveway...and not while you are driving. It is very easy to lose focus when you are driving. <ul><li><a href="http://www.navplus.us/forum/viewtopic.php?p=9035#9035">http://www.navplus.us/forum/viewtopic.php?p=9035#9035</a</li></ul>

guidance voice is just in front speakers. No known way to recode.
