I have had this on and off since I purchased the unit 5 years ago but it used to be very intermitant. The refresh of the map is very slow and jerky, about 1 second to refresh and now it happens more often than not. Back 5 years ago I tried a complete new unit and GPS receiver but it was the same - in the end I just put up with it as it didn't happen that often. - Usually only over 80mph and it would go back to normal 10 mins later. If you change the map screen to the dials, speed acceleration etc, now and again messages will pop up over the acceleration and speed dial saying these

I guess no one has the Europe maps then....... edit - maybe Jaloga has them

Is this Europe or Russia ??

Was this available anywhere ? The link above seems to be for the CDNV100MT - for the Avic D3 etc, not the Avic HD...

Tommy won't reply, I tried last year ! Anyone got the update yet ?

Can any camera be used on the HD3, (Z3 in the US), the Pioneer camera is a stupid price. Do they have to be PAL/NTSC or does it not matter ? Are there any specs available for the Pioneer camera Cheers Adam

They sell them on Ebay...

I have the UK speed camera software for the HD3 (Z3) - I am after a HD3-II Europe Drive Image for the latest map / software if any one has it ? Cheers Adam

Thanks, There is an ORBPOINT.dat file, obviously uncomressed from the speed camera install together with ORBBLOCK.dat The contents look like they are probably just gps locations in hex but I'm not sure how they are coded or even if they are encrypted. Cheers Adam

Can anyone who has an image of their drive and no speed camera database installed have a look at their USER partition. There several files relating to the speedcamera database. I just want to know the file names and sizes, Cheers Adam

The data is the last one TeleAtlas produced - 2007. Does fixed cameras in the UK only - Still accurate in my view. Guess it could be modified though. It is written to a CD then inserted to the HD and automatically installs.

I have the speed camera data for the UK, I am looking for the UK/European map upgrade.

I realise it won't try to connect to the old phone automatically but with the Z you have to tell it which one you want to connect to. I have 3 phones in the list that I use + 1 old one which has the same name as another. Just wanted to remove the 'dead one' to make it simpler as I can never remember which is which. Is there a directory on the drive specific to the registered phones ? Cheers Adam

Then I'll end up with 3 phones on the system ! Maybe I can find them on the hd (unlocked) and delete them that way, Cheers Adam

I have changed my phone. My new one has the same name ie Adam. I have registered it to use it with blue tooth and it works fine. However, I now have 2 phones called 'Adam' in the Info/Phone menu How do I delete the old registered phone ?

Where is nEventWatcher.exe located? Can't seem to find that

What are you using to disassemble the code and which file has the reference to the safety message ?

Excellent, thanks mate, I'll try again tomorrow.

On the Z3 / HD3 you can change the splash screen. When doing so, do you loose the TeleAtlas copyright at the bottom ? Reason I ask is that I wanted to change the CPYDEFAULT.bmp to my vin/reg number so that it would be displayed on any splash screen that is loaded. It shows up if I use the standard Pioneer splash screen but then disapears if I import any other splash screen from a CD ? Cheers Adam

When using a non automotive drive such as the Toshiba MK6034GAX, do you not think there maybe issues when using it in a cold climate ? The minimum operating temp is +5C where as the min for the automotive drive is -20C. Ok so the car will warm up but it might me that the unit will not operate straight away ?? I wanted to get a backup / faster drive but the automotive drives from Toshiba all run at 4200rpm and here in the uk it will get below freezing in the winter months so I'm not sure about a normal drive. PS, anyone done the latest european update to the HD3 ? Cheers Adam

I have some info....Now you do as well...

Any chance I could have a copy of the standard background images. I'm mainly after the 'City' one, but the others would be good as well. Cheers Adam

Thanks, the larger one might work, the others like I have found are very pixelated...maybe I'll import a photo ? The only way I could figure out the vertical image stretch was to use the ratio 1000x480 for the background but when you add layers to the background, make these layers @ 100% width x about 90%-95%height. That way it stretches to the correct size. How did you get on ? Adam

Any one got the above, or any of the other standard backrounds ? Cheers Adam

These look great. I am trying to do a similar format with the Mercedes logo - can't find a good logo on the web though ? I am also having exactly the same probs as you. The image is stretched vertically no matter what ratio I use. I have tried just about everything - somethings a miss somewhere ? Maybe no one else has noticed as you will probably only see it when using a circle in the image ? Adam
