Many thanks to GTIMatt for posting his data.zip and to lacehim for the Kph version. Included in the release is the second version of lacehim's changes. For info on this data.zip see http://www.avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=23003&p=155294&hilit=risk#p155294

SYS.TXT
Many tweaks added over time, too many to list here

Fonts
I have included the fonts need by the mods contained in this release.

Test Mode
Read the AVIC411 Faq's http://avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=19170

Instructions
This update will just fit on a 1Gb SD card but it is advisable to use a SD card greater than 1Gb.

1. Start you AVIC normally and verify you have the V2 Firmware installed.
Check Pioneer website for info and download of the V2.0 Firmware and how to check you have it installed Https://www.pioneer.com.au/avicf900btDownload.aspx

2. Check your map version.
Go into Settings / Navi Settings / About / Maps
Your Maps will display Sensis R14 or similar

3. Extract this update to the root of an empty SD card. Do not modify the directory structure

4. Insert the SD card and Start the AVIC

5. Use Test mode to backup your unit. A Directory called "Backup" has been created on the SD card for your backup. Copy your "Flash Disk" to this directory

Read the AVIC411 Faq's If you are unsure on Test Mode
http://avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=19170

6. Rename or Delete the Following Directories on "My Flash Disk". I recommend you rename the directories but it's up to you.

Rename My Flash Disk\Update\APL2\iGo\CONTENT to My Flash Disk\Update\APL2\iGo\CONTENT.bak
Rename My Flash Disk\Update\APL2\iGo\LICENSE to My Flash Disk\Update\APL2\iGo\LICENSE.bak

7. If you don't want the key beep mod skip this step. Go into My Flash Disk\DATA\Sound and delete the files PSG1Hi.wav, PSG1Low.wav, PSG2Hi.wav and PSG2Low.wav. Don't worry renamed copies of these files are contained in this update. These are called 1PSG1Hi.wav, 1PSG1Low.wav, 1PSG2Hi.wav and 1PSG2Low.wav To reverse this mod later just rename the files back to normal.

8. Copy The directories below SD Card\Update to "My Flash Disk". When asked say yes to overwriting files. Copies of the overwritten Files are contained in this release. The Main Files overwritten are DATA.ZIP EZRIDER.EXE and SYS.TXT copies of the original files will be copied to you flash drive as DATA.BAK, EZRIDER.BAK and STS.BAK These are the files from The V2.0 Firmware update

9. Restart Your AVIC

10. Verify you have the new Maps
Go into Settings / Navi Settings / About / Maps
The Map will now be "Australia R15dot1 Sensis [081027]

I have held back some updates to the standard TMC Traffic, The Phoneme file and some other mods. Once these are fully tested I will release these Updates as well

Excellent post 34by151

Keep up the good work.

Just got a reply from Aussie Pioneer regarding the map update in August 2009.

"The 2009 update due to be released in August will be Sensis version 15.1"

All the above by 34by151 works great on my F900BT. Thanks for all your hard work 34by151.

Thanks Guys,

I have tested the phoneme update and that will be in my next release. I have also tested the Auto/Manual tune for the TMC and am completeing the screen changes. I'm hoping to release both this weekend.

Update will have
Phoneme File added to the 15.1Maps to give proper voice prompts on some roads
GTIMatt's latest Data.zip
New TMC options added to above for Auto / Manual Tune
New TMC icons for different event types
Options to exclude event type from route recalc
Options to include TMC text with icon on map
When Manual tune is selected up /down tune buttons apper on the TMC Contol center for Tuning.
On boot tuner will find the first valid TMC signal an lock on. You can then manually tune from that point.
I have not worked out how to start on the last saved TMC station as yet but will keep working on that.

Cheers

Looking forward to the update. Something new to try.

by **lolek74** on Fri Apr 10, 2009 1:11 pm

Really nice. Love the tweaks.

How does SUNA TMS work? Do you have to register for it somewhere? What station carries the correct RDS/TMC data?

by **34by151** on Sat Apr 11, 2009 12:37 pm

Aussie units are pre registered for SUNA however the maps don't support it. I dont' know if the V1.0 units are registered or not my unit was shipped with V2.0.

If you add my update SUNA will start working. You will see both traffic data in the control center and icons on the map.

For those of you that have PM'd and emailed me about the update I'm still working on the screen changes. I hope to get that out to everyone before the end of the long weekend

For details on SUNA and the stations see the SUNA website using the link I posted

My unit had 2.0 out of the box and I could see some traffic information (on the separate screen but not on the map). unfortunately I managed to delete everything (by mistake) and didnt have a chance to explore it further.

by **34by151** on Sun Apr 12, 2009 6:26 am

In the traffic events screen press one of the events and it will take you to the event on the map.

Great work. Thank you for that. I'll give it a try later on. Any plans for the future relases?

by **YellowLemon** on Sun Apr 12, 2009 4:45 pm

Thanks mate! Legend!!

I don't have an AVIC F series yet but I want to get one...... could someone order a 900BT or 90BT from the US for a lot cheaper and put these maps on?

If yes, how would one then register a US unit for SUNA?

Ta!

PS SUNA is now being broadcast over 101.1FM in Melbourne and 97.3FM in Brisbane and on 106.5FM in Sydney.

* No TMC signal id the station does not have TMC
* TMC Present if a TMC data is found

Thanks heaps for this, 34by151 !!!

Would you please be able to start a CHANGELOG or readme.txt so that user who would like
to use other data.zip mods in the future know what the differences are?
(say for example someone wanted to use a data.zip from another modder than GTIMatt...)

Thanks!
