ShineOn

Actually, this update can be installed on RU devices, you're right! But it's no reason to install this update to RU devices, because they havn't TMC module. So, I will wait another revision with more important changes for Russia. My friend is real busy guy, and I want to have opportunities to get help from my friend in real important time. Sorry for that!

Actually currently hacked EZRIDER.exe was prepared by my friend from Russia. New EZRIDER.exe from Firware update 2.005 fix just small TMC problem in Germany, so it's no reason to update to 2.005 in Russia, and no reason to prepare new hacked EZRIDER.exe. When Pioneer will announce newer EZRIDER.exe with a lot of usable changes, I will ask my friend to prepare hacked EZRIDER.exe again.

trizent1, stock navigation software on F900BT is iGo 8.0.0.61795 with special Pioneer-style skin and additional integration with AV and BT software. If you need to update navigation content (maps, POI, lanscape etc.), then you should replace original EZRIDER.exe in APL2/iGo folder to hacked one (see more details on this forum). But if you don't like to use this version of iGo, and want to replace with usual iGo (may be 8.3.x), then you can use LeetLauncher 2.0 (http://avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18522). Moreover with LeetLauncher you can use different navigation software too.

You can just mkdir AUDIO in APL2/iGo, and put any sound (WAV) file named !alert5.wav. This file will replace stock DOG BARKING sound. It's easier way than replace sound file in DATA.zip, because you can simple backup factory settings at any time you need - just delete newest sound file from AUDIO folder.

ggarcez, could you explain little more (may be to PM), what exactly you changed in 8.0 DATA.zip for full sound feature? Yesterday I've tried 8.3.1 and 8.3 DATA.zip with 800_480 resolution, all working fine, but w/o sound. I don't want to spend much time to find correct solution by self, and I hope you can help me (and not only me, but other guys too).

It's very interest, and I need these preset buttons too. But I havn't any idea how to make it.

For example, you can change scripts by yourself. navigatemap_800_480 - change action on clock tap: any ui-file in 800_480\ui folder, for example navigatemap_800_480.ui - add BigClock layer (you need to check X/Y coordinates and font size/color by yourself): any ui-file in common\ui folder, for example navigatemap.ui - add new state for display BigClock: I didn't check this code, and may be you need to correct something.

If you mean simple digital clock, its may be implemented in 5-10 mins. Even I can add color setting into iGO menu. But for analog clock I havn't yet any idea how to make it (analog clock is more interested for me).

No, you CAN use updated maps and other content on AVIC-F900BT, but please check that this content designed especialy for iGO 8.0. I hope (but I'm not sure) that NavNGo will keep provide updated content for both 8.0 and 8.3, but you should choose appropriate content by self.

Why you want to replace exactly OFF to BKG? OFF function placed in inconvenience place (on my impression), and you should to make few operation to activate it. You can realize BKG image by other way. For example, you can make new function in iGO skin for BKG image: create new button on main navigation screen, and pressing this new button will show your BKG image. Next pressing to this BKG image will return to previous screen. It's easier way, as I think.

One important note: you can use any iGO 8.0 maps, but not 8.3! iGO 8.3 has different map format and you can't use any newest 8.3 maps (either TeleAtlas or Navteq) on stock AVIC-iGO.

It's not rumour. I have both Navteq and TeleAtlas maps for Russia, both of them good supported by iGO 8.3.1.

Exactly link: http://rapidshare.de/files/40903102/ir.zip.html This ZIP-file contains several files, but we need just one: EZRIDER.exe and license file. Included license for Europe only, but you can use either license files.

All you need is just replace two files in iGO directory. Now I'm testing hacked file, and will post it to forum in few days (after final approval by author).

I'm happy, now I'm able to update any content (maps, POI, DEM, 3DL and so on)! Sample screenshot with updated map of Russia (other countries is stock maps): PS: It's not my merit, all appreciations to psb!

Also you can try to edit file \User\SystemData\uComInitComm\ModelVersionInfo.txt. This file contains following line: MiconVer=08.09------яDvdVer=02.01.05.00яRegionCode=Sys5 Mecha5я I don't test it yet, but may be changing RegionCode in this file take effect.

ydokter, I have official European F900BT, including whole set of European maps. So, you can get license and content (map, POI) w/o problem. But I don't know what difference between US and EU versions F900, and how Pioneer secure their license files. Probably you can just add EU license and EU content (map, POI) on your F900BT, but I'm not sure that it will work. PS: all of these EU maps 2007.07 only, and I have no idea how to use updated contents.

Try to declare permanent variable, it should be saved in save\system.ini:

Actually you can use *.dem files from iGO8 (for better outlook need special color schemes too). I can send to you URL to *.dem for many countries, but main problem to use this content - need hacked exe and license file.

You can use semi-transparent button instead. I use alpha=10 for all semi-transparent buttons on my skins. Moreover, you can change ALPHA setting of your button at any time you need by different way: 1. permanent aplha setting of each button: 2. controlled ALPHA by different conditions depend on your needs: ... runif bHideMyButton 'btnNMB_Mute.alpha 10, btnNMB_Mute.bmp "button_volume.bmp", bHideMyButton 0, run sc_unmute_guidance' else_run 'btnNMB_Mute.alpha 32, btnNMB_Mute.bmp "button_volume_mute.bmp", bHideMyButton 1, run sc_mute_guidance_immediately' I didn'check thi
