I have no idea what they are. I know I've read this somewhere in these forums, but my searches haven't found anything. Since I updated to 2.0, these triple blue box POIs have appeared on my maps. I had gas stations showing and restaurants showing on my maps only. What are these the icons for, and how do I get rid of them? Thanks in advance

Post 2.0, I love my unit. My biggest gripes are gone. Pre-2.0, the one thing that made me very happy I bought this unit was the community. Have you read the crazy stuff people are doing in the hack/mods forum? It's insane. I added a few tweaks to my system that have made it much more user friendly.

I've tried a few (parking break mod, mute voice guidance), and from what I can tell, nothing in the Data.Zip is different from pre2.0. My mods worked great.

lol. I didn't know the blue box in question was already a button! I'll check it out before I decide to mod that one... Maybe I'll come up with a different button I like better.

Hi, I'm nervous about playing around with my data.zip file, and I was hoping one of you AVIC hacking gurus could help me. I'd like to change the big, squarish top/left blue box into a delete route button. Can someone please point me into the right direction? I'd appreciate it very, very much.

I concur. Maybe there is a way.

Thanks! Added it

There are a ton of posts about the different mods all in different states of completion. I thought it would be helpful for Avic411 forum noobs or casual Avic411 surfers have 1 easy central thread to find the information about what is out there and where to get that information. I'm ignoring already stickied info Please help this thread be more useful by replying with additions that I've missed or any corrections. Thanks!

I think it's pretty juvenile to have included that file in the firmware package. I'm glad the OP found it b/c I'm going to be deleting that out of my update files. No need to add any more unnecessary junk to an already slow system.

AVIC Feeds - is it out yet? I was trying to look around for it, and I'm just not seeing a download link anywhere on the page linked.

My clock randomly will switch a few hours, then... it goes back to normal after a few more hours. Very odd. I've also had my screen switch to "night" mode in the middle of the day and switch back to day mode after an hour or so. very weird.

only time I have a problem on my 1gb card (only one I've tested so far) is when i'm on map mode & it changes song titles. It stutters for a split second and keeps going right as it's changing the song title that displays on the bottom right.

So, we can upload POIs from SD/USB. Is there anyway to get a list of POIs? For example, I don't like there are no longer specialized icons for different restaurants as in the D3. Is there any place to say... download an icon & a bunch of POIs for different chains? Then, I could upload them to my unit under a new category with a new specialized icon.

Perhaps you should switch to the 3D mode? I personally love the 3D nav with auto zoom. I love seeing exactly what the road I am traveling on looks like. I just got back from a 9hour road trip to an area I had never been to before, and besides not knowing the new development in the small town & thinking you weren't allowed to turn left on a highway, it worked great! The nav was spot on (unlike the D3), and I could see very clearly which road to to turn on, if I was going under an overpass, etc. I really liked how it would tell me which lanes to stay in as highways split off. Yes, it c

I have Vista on 2 machines, and I don't have any problems. I know quite a bit about computers, and I haven't had any problems with Vista. I've never had to "fight" to get it working. I have a laptop that came with Vista, and I installed Vista from an OEM disk. Both computers run fine. The only problem I have with my computer comes from dust in my case, my very old & slow video card not keeping up with the games I play, and my wireless net connection dropping connection from time to time. None of my problems with my computer can be attributed to Vista. Each machine runs on average for 2

Model: F90bt Devices Connected (XM, iPod, etc) : Ipod, Sirius, SD card AV Source (if playing) during issue: all Action that caused the issue (pressed button, search, etc): pressing Voice activation button Was GPS routing? (yes/no) yes & no (doesn't matter) Was BlueTooth active? If yes, what device? no Anything else you would like to add: Pushing the voice activation button while on the top menu level doesn't work. Suggestions on Sirius interface: Please use all lines of text available in the detail view. At minimum showing Station, Artist, & Song Title would do very nicely

I think my system boots up faster now than it did at the start, too. I have an Ipod, SD card, & Sirius. Granted, I only have a 2gb Ipod. It could be my imagination, but it feels like I don't get the TOS notification about the GPS until I hit the destination or map button (assuming I shut off the unit while it was on an AV source page). It also seems like it doesn't load certain things until I ask for them, like the Ipod. But, it could just be my imagination, too.

F-series model: f90bt Phone make/model: Samsung M300 Ease of connection: A little tricky. The unit could find the phone, but couldn't connect. I had connect via the phone instead of the head unit. Might have been user error. Phone book transfer: The instructions were confusing on the F90. I had to hit OK farther than I thought they were saying. But, after that, it was pretty quick. Sound quality: Great through the speakers Comments: Pretty easy to set up. I never used a bluetooth device before, and it didn't take me long to set up. I have to remember to turn off Bluetooth on my phone whe

Thanks for the answer, which basically is no. Technically, the unit already has all the info needed for a search function if it already has the phone number stored with the POI entry. I'm assuming it's a database that it's pulling from, and it shouldn't take up any more storage space to search from say, field number 3 than it takes to search from field number 1 and 2. Now, if you told me it would take too much memory to process the search, I'd believe your 2nd point. My 90bt is already freezing & rebooting on POI name searches. Perhaps they couldn't figure out how to work POI number

In the D3, I was able to search for POIs by phone number. I know it has the numbers b/c when I find a business POI, it'll display the number & offer to call it for me on my phone. I've looked & looked, but I don't see a way to search for a POI by phone number.

My D3 did it every time I turned on the system. It was annoying. Perhaps it's b/c I bought one of the later versions. I bought it just 1 month ago, then returned it when I realized new ones were coming out.

sweet!

awesome pics. Do you know if the unit will be able to play pics from the SD card slot or Ipod? It would be awesome to run a slide show of pictures from an SD card while driving down the road.
