Got a Call From the Service Manager... Control unit will be replaced, should fix GPS.

So I've had an intermittent GPS issue since 350 miles. Wasn't too concerned about it but it froze hard awhile back and no amount of re-setting it made any difference.

Well I took the car in on Tuesday to get the GPS fixed, ipod integration installed, and had em' throw on some wheel locks while we were at it. I get a call late Tuesday letting me know that they should have it done for me late Wednesday, and that they are updating software and it takes a good deal of time.

So Wednesday I get a call and they say that "GPS is Working fine and they cannot find anything wrong with it, but my car is ready. I'm thinking.... Hmm, OK so WTF? I get down there and sure enough, the write up says

"Customer has concern about GPS functionality, Unable to confirm problem"...

I'm like SonofA... I asked for the service Manager who was really cool and I explained that their lead tech had me make the appointment after he couldn't get the GPS unfrozen last time I was down here. So it's not "Unconfirmed", but in fact had already been looked at and was the entire reason I had made the appointment.

Anyhoo, I get in my car a head home, the Service manager said, "He'd Look into it."

First thing this AM, I get a call from the Service Manager and there is in fact a bulletin or something about this very thing.

So, I'll be going back again, and they will be replacing the "Control Unit?" I think he said, and new software again.

SO, Long story short, they are taking care of me and I'm a very happy camper.

I didn't care for the Dodge Charger Rental they provided, but hell, it's better treatment than I had expected, and I am not going to bitch.

Over all a so far.

Ipod integration.... Good enough.
