Help With Install Of Speakers In 05 Accord With Navi

[b money]

OK well lets start at the beginning i just bought a brand new 05 Honda accord with leather and navi. I also bought brand new comp set, 6 by 9s, kicker comp sub with a amp. now i took all this in my trunk to best buy and said install pls. half way threw it they stoped and said we cant do this i was like why. they said well the magnets on the speakers will throw off the gyro scope on the navi. i was like the what thats some shit you hear on video games so i said let me drive it around and sure enough it did throw it off by like a half mile maybe more and the car could no longer tell which way the car was pointing. so i had them unistall everything and it now works great. but i have been thinking about all this i drove all the way to best buy with all this in my truck and it never affected the navi so why did it when it was installed right. so i went to best buy and they printed a thread a install guy had left on ther install site that said it would do this. but at any rate i want my stereo hooked up i just dont want to lose the navi maybe ther is some restart trick or material that i can wrap around the magnets of the speakers pls help me pls i want my stereo so bad.............

It sounds like you need to either -

Get magnetically shielded speakers (recommended)

Shield the speakers yourself. (not recommended)

Distance the speakers from the navi unit or relocate the navi unit (not easy).

I'd say magnetically shielded speakers are the best route to go. If you try to shield the speakers yourself you can end up with problems. Two methods used are placing a cover made of steel (mild steel) around the magnet, or placing another magnet polarized in the opposite direction on the back of the magnet and gluing them together. Both of which are more trouble than they're worth. I'd go with magnetically shielded speakers.

You can try disconnecting the battery for a few minutes, then reconnect it after you install the speakers and then letting the unit recalibrate itself afterwards. I don't know if this will work. I think most gyrocompasses in cars now compensate for fields around them.

I'm sorry, I don't have anything more than that.
