I got the EU f700bt , and I'm thinking 'bout getting one for my wife . The US version costs half as much as the EU version .

Would it be possible to flash EU firmware and just copy all my EU files to the US model ?

I only changed the colour of the buttons . The dutch (not german) text on the buttons is standard when you choose dutch as general language (in Europe you can choose between 9 or 10 different languages)

I think US units only have 2 languages to choose from

Paradriod, I dont think anyone mentioned it yet, but thats a clean ride and set up you got there.

 

awesome.

TY It's a Peugeot 307CC (the grand-grand-randson of the car lieutenent Columbo drove )

I use the ca.r.pi 161 steering wheel interface

Here in europe we don't have XM (or any other satradio) only FM and AM . There's DAB (Digital audio broadcast) but almost no one has it

We only have a few radio stations , we mostly stick to 1 radio station and a CD so the presets aren't often used anyway

In the .res files (these are zipped archives, you can unzip them ) you can change the layout of these screens in .pnd files .

I changed the colour in the image.res , I think the layouts are in main.res (not at home , have to check)

The layout files look a bit like xml files , but without line breaks . Some of the objects correspondent with the numbers given to the images .

I use the P.CH buttons to cycle through the presets That suffices for me .

btw : it's flemish , not german (I live in Antwerp - Belgium)

All I did was change the colours to match my interior (see piccies)

I think most cars have their own clock so not too many people care about the avic's clock

the clock is in the top-left corner in every AV screen ....

most mods are cosmetic , just BU the modded files and put them back after the upgrade

I hope it'll be available for EU models soon

you have to connect the F900's handbrake cable to the ground , that's all . Don't connect it to the handbrake .

Leave the handbrake alone

In my unit I just connected the unit's handbrake cable to its own black power wire and it works perfectly

nothing , live with it

I have a european unit . My voice is the flemish male (not tts).

I found a flemish female voice and tried to install it to no avail .

I copied the file but it does not show up in the list . Then I tried to delete the german voice and rename the female flemish to the original german name .

The result : when I pick German , the instructions are in ... german (?!)

The unit apparantly caches the voice files someplace else ... anyone know where ?

that's normal . The hardware isn't present .

I think its in the parrot hardware.

I had a parrot ck3000 carkit in my other car (Pioneer uses parrot) and it was the same hardcoded ringtone

the hacks are all described here on this forum .... just read and do

ahaaaaa

in navigatemap_800_480.ui I find this :

;corner picture

the 'Saynextcommand' is our EU function ... What is the US function ?

yes, but I'm looking for clues .

What happens if a US unit is in navigation mode and you push the multijoystickbutton ? (the hardware button on the left)

In our EU units it says the next command

Don't US units use this to initiate VC input ?

I was hoping there would be a hint to the VC ... sadly there isn't any

thanks anyway

nothing, I change the names e.g. Peter Jones (M) Peter Jones (H) , .....

The unit gave me 2 the same names so I had to guess which was which

Can someone post the system.ini from

\USER\UserData\iGo\save

Thank you

(still trying to get VC to work in european system )

I tried to add the US language and voices , but I cannot select them . I put them in the same dir as the other language / voice files

Apparantly it checks something before letting me choose them

but what ...

thank you

can someone post the contents of the modelversioninfo.txt file please

it's in \USER\SystemData\uComInitComm

Come on guys , post these US backups

You can leave the maps out cos I'm not intending to drive across the atlantic

You can edit the phonebook

the phonebook resides in \USER\UserData\PHONEDATA

this can be used to edit the phonebook

I have an iphone and every contact showed up 3 times (mobile #, home # and work # ) but the display only shows the name so I couldn't see which is which (or what is what )

What does the system.ini of a US unit look like ?

\USER\UserData\iGo\save\system.ini

can someone with US version post this file ?
