Do this to get igo to boot as your default navigation software (like original) without an SDcard.

AVIC-S1

copy all you IGO files. into the navigation folder in "my flash disk" folder

Rename the IGO exe to MNAVDCE.exe

Update sys.txt to say :

[device]

type="AVICS2"

[folders]

app="\my flash disk\NAVIGATION\"

content="\my flash disk\NAVIGATION\CONTENT"

[gps]

port="2"

baud="4800"

ooops, good point.

change the baud rate to 4800 in the sys.txt file

If you dont do this, miomap wont pick up a GPS signal. red light.

Download this unlocker, copy contents to the root of your SD card. Power on the AVIC-S1...then select Yes to All when asked.

Copy the maps into the MAPS folder :

maps - http://www.mininova.org/search/?search=miomap+220

Now, use the windows CE explorer to navigate to your storage card and run MNAVDCE

Contents of SD card :

EASY !

Keep getting this message when ive restored my avic-s1 from the DVD.

I successfully restore the app

then i restore the map from SD card

If i skip fast this error (decompress failed!)...4 ok's

then i get this error :

"the system couldnt find a map.

either there is no map data available or the map is for an older or newer software version"

the map is in the //my flash disk/Map/EUR_Pioneer_20060512_V09.map !!!!

Need the files to reflash my firmware.

Pioneer AVIC-S1

cheers

gets worse....Pioneer gave me a phone number to call, to get the unit repaired (pioneer service centre). 0121 522 6666

£125 to reinstall the the firmware...absolute joke!

Phoned pioneer who refused to help me because the firmware had been deleted via the service menu !!

Basically, the sat nav is now a door stop/.........thats the last time i buy a pioneer product.

cheers

ive checked the dvd that comes with the avic-s1 and theres no firmware files on it.

Think ill give pioneer a phone and see if they can send me the correct files.

Anyone got the files i need ?????

winceimg.cks

winceimg.bin

Any help please, unit is totally dead.

(accidently hit wrong button whilst "format flash for binfs" highlighted !!!!!)

cheers
