Still enjoying my trusty old F900BT

Whilst I'm looking for a host for V4 (Eu firmware), I got thinking about how my Wife's car streams audio via bluetooth.

Is this possibly on the F900bt yet? I know it didn't do it out of the box..... so what about when you get under the hood......

Has anybody played with this, or is the machine just too old now?

Dan

Boing! yes, a host would be lovely

Password doesn't seem to work:

got it working with "www.avic411.com"

Asks for a 2nd password for "Activation Codes" - no idea about this one

Thanks will stick these in with the other maps (looking at doing some European driving in the next year )

MANY thanks for this greatly appreciated.

Just adds a bit of life to my aging F900bt!

Just to clarify - I'm running OS3.

Is it a "simple" case of getting into the Windows page and copy/pasting the relevant maps/buildings/pois?

Running the device in the UK.

Cheers,

Dan

Thanks for the reply

I've had my f900 for a few years now - like to think i know how to use it

Found it in the Regional Settings/Language. DUH.

Secondly, the map colour - i didnt even know you cold change the colours!!!!! Always had standrd green...... Will have a search (thankyou) but would welcome some pointers

Dan

Nobody eh?

Could really do with some help on this one......

Thanks in advance,

dan

Hi All,

Running IGO8 as part of my UK OS3 firmware (F900bt).

Couple of things I'm, not happy with - firstly, the speed indicator is in KPH, not uk-friendly MPH.

My guess is to change the

[regional]

units=0

to "1" perhaps? Guesswork!! hoping you could tell me

Secondly, my maps are blue background.

Can you advise on how to change this back to good ole fashioned "green"

Thanks in advance,

Dan

Attached is my sys.txt file if that's of any use, although now looking, there's also the following .txt files-

sys_746EW.txt

sys_746UC.txt

sys_749EW.txt

sys_749UC.txt

not sure what to do next

sys.txt

OK, finally pulled my finger out and upgraded my F900bt to OS3.0....however slight headache.

In the Nav page, after setting a route, my speed is shown in KPH. Useless to me, as my car (& brain) work in MPH.

Is this an easy fix?

Also the map colour seems to be blue...... want green again

Help?

Is it possible to change the ringtone on the F900bt when using BT iphone?

The Pioneer one is rubbish!!!

Just a couple of things - I haven't upgraded to vers 3.0 yet (a plan for the Summer!)

1. My iPhone 3g connects happily to the stereo. The ring over handsfree is fookin awful. Can I change it in any way?

2. The manual says about texts being displayed on the screen - never happened yet. Is this an iPhone quirk?

Oh yeh, based on a UK/EU model.....

Answers on a postcard

Dan

Cheers bud - will have a play this weekend!

Dan

Would someone mind confirming the size of the "MyFlashDisk" folder - once it's extracted correctly?

I've got 1.57 Gb for 833 items....

Does this sound right?

DAn

Even better - keeps both of the little horrors happy!!!

DAn

Sweet

Better run some more cables then lol!!

Dan

Just a query really....

Not overly bothered about doing the parking brake mod (either soft or hardware) as I when I'm driving, I'm enjoying the road too much!!

However, my spawn in the back do like to watch mindless drivel....

So the question is this - the Head Unit screen won't play the DVD (as per the safety directions), however, is the video feed still live to the rear screen output?

Anybody got this set up yet? I'm installing mine hopefully next weekend.

Thanks,

DaN

Nice one - I'd kinda reckoned on that, and hoped that it had been a firmware thing to update/convert from US to UK....

No worries though - thanks for confirming my suspicions

Cheers,

Dan

Can't seem to find any info on this - would it work?

Been offered an F900bt from one of our US users.....

Sat nav still operational?

RDS tuner etc?

Thoughts?

Dan

Well done!

If you don't mind me asking, where did you get it from? I'm looking for one right now, and at that price, I could well be parting with some cash!

Have you installed yours yet? If so, what car ? etc?

Dan (another UK future-user!)

Just seen a few of the HD1bt devices coming up for sale on Ebay....

Are they worth looking at over the F900bt?

Thoughts?

Any links for more information?

Thanks

Dan/Scoob

Very nice

Got any more pics of the install process?

Dan

Many thanks for this

Dan

Bugger. Bl00dy thing is unavailable

Will try later, but thanks anyway

Scoob/Dan

I'd deffo be looking at Vers3.0 then

Welcome Barry

You *MIGHT* need to update it - check which version you're running.

The latest firmware speeds the interface up slightly (a common complaint apparently - I haven't got my F900bt yet) and fixes other bugs (although not all of them)

Recommend you look at the search on here - there's a lot of fab information, and whilst there are a lot of very helpful and knowledgeable people on here, the forum doesn't seem that busy, and most of the questions have been asked before...... (or the question "askers" wholly outweigh those with the knowledge!!! )

HTH
