Well I was able to get back to planting yesterday, and turned on the GPS, well all it would do is lock up or not load for the first hour and half. I planted without it and finally it came to life. I have some adjusting to do, May need some help there!! And sometimes I get it straight online and hit the button and it steers hard right then left then straightens out?? What's that about? It also tends to wag back and forth sometimes. I just didn't want to waist anymore time screwing around. I'll attach a video. And I still have to update the AES to the current version.

Well today its always steering back and forth. I've tried setting the aggressiveness down to 30 and up to 100. sensitivity down to the minimum of 30. still likes to get wavy. What should the look ahead be? I think its around 32 ft. I'll post photo's of the screens. I ran it the other day and it didn't seem to be this bad. Could it be its the tail wagging the dog? Tractor MF 7495 mfwd with 300 gallon fertilizer tank upfront. 12x30 twin row mounted planter on the rear. It didn't seem to matter if the tank was full or almost empty.

Look ahead time means nothing as it’s for boundary alarm. Set dead band to 0 set on line agression to 20 then sensitivities to 10
Sadly you can’t tune this over the web a each machine is different

I was rained out this afternoon, so I decided to update the AES-25 and I believe it worked. It said successful, so next step calibrate it. Now I need an open area, level. tried the corner grassy area, wasn't too smooth, and it didn't work. said to reboot and try again. Did that twice. I did get farther than ever before, as I never could even get to the calibration page. Is there a certain order that the calibration's have to be done? I have the other 2 done already. I'd really like to get it calibrated and see if that helps with the weaving.
Robt, I'll try those settings when if dries off tomorrow.
