Been away on business, got back to Sydney today. All the details for the new skin are in the "Diaftia's Hybrid mods V2.3" thread cheers 34by151

Guys, just a quick note to say I am still here. Sorry but running my businesses has take over during this tax season. Back on board (and back in Sydney later this week) Cheers 34by151

Well the now code has brought that 15mb up to 24mb, I cant see why we can't look at testing some extra themes in the beta stage. It wont be any extra work to put some themes into the installer. As to the earlier question re map changer, we have completed an tested that. It's also had a bit of a rewrite to support more maps especially Aussie ones. The installer will also setup the map files and directories for you Cheers 34by151

The one with the mitacap older is for the V2 firmware. If you have the v3 firmware you will need to use testmode v3 cheers 34by151

Something must be really wrong with me, spent the whole day debugging code!!! To clarify abb1's comment, The look and feel of the mod is retained so things will be familiar to everyone. Cheers 34by151

The info on the new skin is in the "Diaftia's Hybrid mods V2.3 - UPDATED: 01/14/10" thread here http://www.avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=29404 When we release the new version it will be a common version for all regions we will also be starting a new thread dedicated to the new skin. Cheers 34by151

Yeah but not the Storm2 95xx

You can alter the theme by modifying the branding file or alter the signpost.ini file in the data.zip. The new version has the ability to alter the sign colour and size in the settings menu, so you may want to wait for that. there is lot's of info on changing colours on this board of you search for it Cheers 34by151

Turn on Test Mode Cheers 34by151

Yes it is Cheers 34by151

No you don't have a TMC tuner

Chick88, Thanks for your comments re the flash writes. Please be aware that the next version is a collaborative effort. I can accept no credit for things that are not entirely my own work, so thanks from both of us With regards the flash disk, thank you again, Diaftia and myself are aware. I don't feel this is a problem given that you have the option to have these files on the SD card or USB stick. Please take the discussion on the flash disk writes to a new thread as it does not relate to this topic directly but to the life cycle the AVIC and electronics in general Cheers

I can't answer that as I don't have a 500 or an EU500, so i can't confirm that for you. But I think you have answered your own question. They cant be the same if you have different device ID's. Does that mean the TMC tuner is the same, I don't know If it is the same will the update work, Don't know I can tell you that the EU BT update worked on Aus models, not that that is the TMC but it's hopeful. From the OEM code I can tell you the differences are minor. The AU just has options present in the EU version commented out and bypassed. I think this is more because pioneer did not w

If you have V2 firmware SUNA will not be working because you will not have a subscription. If you upgrade to a legit V3 SUNA will be activated, that is assuming you have an OZ version Avic and Update. Igo will ignore the extra data.zip that you have in the APL2 directory, you can delete this file Cheers 34by151

Maybe you should PM him. changing the map files has nothing to do the bluetooth. If you have "software not found" in the phone menu the OS has not loaded the drivers. Again lots of info on this if you search. Cheers 34by151

Chuck88, If this is a problem for you just adjust your sys.txt to store the files where you want them. Other than that you might want to post this in a new thread as it does not really relate to this mod but the hardware in general. Cheers 34by151

What software are you refering to. The data.zip supplied nor any other data.zip does not contain any BT software. The BT software is part of the os boot image. If that was erased you would not get an operating system at all Cheers 34by151

We have provided for backup, restore, selective restore and clear of the Avic data and the backup/restore of the whiole flash disk. What you are asking is not somthing that would be covered by a skin. This can be set now in the sys.txt. Modify this section of sys.txt [folders] data="\My Flash Disk\User\UserData\iGo" tts_nuance="\My Flash Disk\APL2\iGo\ScanSoft\RealSpeakSolo" secondary_app="Storage Card/usericon,USB Disk/usericon" usb_trackexport_path="\USB Disk" storage_trackexport_path="\Storage Card" content="\My Flash Disk\APL2\iGO\content" If you change the \My Flas

Guy's we will have this out as soon as we can. We are doing the debugging now before final beta testing. I can't give you an exact release date other than to say it will be as soon as we can. Both of us are putting in as much time as possible but please realise this is not our job but a hobby. I am sure most of you will be very happy with the final product and if not that's ok too. I can only speak personally when I say that I spend a lot of my day on the road in traffic, my efforts are to make driving and getting to where I need to go easier. Having more than one persons idea's

Thanks from both of us. We will release some screen shots when we are in beta. Cheers 34by151
