Title: can't reset factory gps 2015 GD1.
Post by: the donn on August 11, 2021, 09:32:12: hi guys . my head unit came up with this error screen about a week ago // "start exe. has encountered an error and must shut down". But I can't get it to shut down or reset.! have tried various on of sequences, removed and replaced the fuse, push and hold reset button so far nothing will clear the error screen.. only the reverse camera is working , if anyone has a solution that would be fantastic . otherwise looks like I'll be looking for suggestions for an after market GPS unit. :( , thanks guys :

I don't have a reset code for the head unit
Australian GD models don't require a code.

Post by: The Gonz on August 16, 2021, 15:08:15: There are areas perhaps more suited to this type of problem such as :link: ELECTRICAL | ELECTRONIC | AUDIO (https://i30ownersclub.com/forum/index.php?board=62.0), but new posts are just as visible regardless of where they're posted. It's not a common problem at all from what I've seen on the forum. You could try your dealer for any insight or even source a 2nd hand head unit for changeover or parts.
