rx65 weird message

**richardboy316** · 08-04-2006, 11:33 PM

today when i turned on the rx is displayed " Self Cal"

does anyone know what this means or has anyone seen this before?

usually it means time to send it in.. did it go away?? its a self calibration test the unit runs to check everything... this is what i was told when i asked... from reading a lot on here sometimes they will go into that mode and not come out seems to be common with the rx65 from what i can see thats why i decided against them... and bought a v1

its start of a detectors DEATH! mine went like that then nothing, then 6 months later it did it again....send it in champ, also do a search, there is heaps of discussion about this.

WOW thats something, definately send that sucker in, ive heard that RX-65s are real sensitive to conditions and abuse andd all other things a RD will face in the world, but 5 DAYS..........my buddy's X50 just went self cal about a month ago, and he's had it for about 1 1/2 years, ive had mine for about a year and it still hasnt given me that, but I usually start my car from outside (or even in the house) to cool it down (Texas is hotter than he**) so I probably wouldnt know anyways (i had the remote starter put in about 2 months after I got the X50, so about 9 months of starting without seeing the display)

where u buy it from?? ebay?? i know alot of ebay RX65 are factory seconds!

Id email or call the place you got it and swap it with another one, it is definatly on the way out, self cal is just the start of its death!

Mine did that it then went away and the next day it displayed service required. So i sent it in. it's all good now. I would send it in.

Do they charge you at all when you send it in? Also how long is the warranty? I'm just asking because I'm thinking about getting one and don't want to throw 300 bucks down the drain because the unit says self cal
