ignore this, cant delete it. Mods, if you can, please delete this post

I dont know about switching off, this is a feature rich mod and it is not expected that you use everything. If you dont use it, leave it and play with the functions that you do use.

Thank you misterblue! I have tried this and it works GREAT! You did an excellent job with this update. I will be adding it to my V5 giving you full credit, and yes, it is compatible with my V4. Just delete the original '3D Car' folder and then add the one that is in 'MB-3DCars1.2a'. You will then have to rescan all the cars in again.

Wow, that was from V1 to V2.0. The files have been reduced considerably, especially in the image.res file, which used to have a background image that was customizable, but after V2, a lot of that was hardcoded into the Avic to conserve memory, therefore increasing responsiveness and speeding up boot times. This was further enhanced from V2-V3, but not to the extreme as it was in its prior release. If we were to put our present mods in V1, then the system would probably not even run. That is why it is a good idea to keep the fie sizes down as low as possible. When I first did my V4, I did not r

What newer Avic? The F series has just as much ram as the X series! Even if it is just a little difference, it is pointless to have something in your system that is incapable of being ever being used. In my mod though, it is a little more resourceful as ther is an entire seperate dropdown menu for MSN, plus a lot of HiRez icons. This is just for myself anyways, and the majority of people want MSN, that is why I post it with MSN included

Well, they get it for another ten months and then it will seize to exist. I always delete the MSN stuff from the mod that I have in my system because it is not supported in my area and deleting this makes the DATA.zip file smaller and frees up resources in the system. I had a non-msn version in my earlier 2.0 mod and only about 1/8 people downloaded it so I did not include it afterwards. The majority always rules! For my personal mod though, I am not going to have the system load up stuff that I cannot use. That is just silly!

That is what I am using and testing now. I have never posted a non-msn because nobody wants it and the only time i did, there was very few downloads. i may put it up this time though

Your welcome! V5 is a lot of work in that just about everything has been changed. Everytime I go to get a working MSN version on the go, something comes up, like work problems, computer problems, health problems (pneumonia). I will get this up, people will just have to be patient and the wait will be worth it as I have been running this mod (NON MSN) version for awhile, and it is 100 % stable, and much more functional in some aspects, as well as much better to look at. I love it when people get in my car and ask "wow, where can I buy one of those?" and I say "you can't"

Thanks, graphics, I have always been good at, the scripting, I have mostly learned from the members here , so without them, most of my mods would not be here!

No, I wasn't talking about anybody in particulor, ! Those were just a few things that I picked atop of my head and were not to single anybody out. You have said a lot of good things about my work, and I appreciate constructive critism along with that. Please, that was not to be taken personally for ANYONE!!

I hear what you are saying and I really HATE dissapointing anybody. I will see when I get back home next week. I may put it up, BUT WITH CLOSURE THAT I WILL NOT TROUBLESHOOT AS I REALLY AM NEVER HOME ANYMORE! Two days one week and three days the next, and trust me, when I am home, I do not want to sit in front of a computer and troubleshoot an installation that was not done right. I DO NOT want anybody to get the wrong idea about given the mod to those that donated. I sure as hell dont do this for donations, but I DO feel commited to those that have shown their appreciation. Trust me, it is

No, that is not the problem. It is just that a lot of people cannot follow directions. I had very precise directions in my V4 mod and people still did not follow them to a 'T' and then had problems. My job has just gotten twice as busy and I just dont have the time to troubleshoot.

Well Hanibal, I was going to put it up last weekend, but reading through Diaftias thread, I really dont know. Almost every page has troubleshooting questions from hell and they are mostly not even directed at the mod itself, but through installation problems. I was thinking 'Alex, what have you gotten yourself into?'. I dont have the time to troubleshoot like that, and reading through Diaftias mod, EVERY DAY there is someone needing help, or something. I am extremely busy with my work right now where I am away for long periods of time, and I do not have time to troubleshoot and it would not be

That is easy, the tough part is finding a .cab file that works for windows CE! Working .cab files are hard to find anymore as nobody uses the OS anymore.

This is a question, not a statement, Why would anyone want coreplayer installed when Pioneers AV player is better. That has always blown me away. The same thing goes with having TomTom installed when the Avic is a much better NAV program! Is it just to say 'I am different' or is there a benefit to using coreplayer?

The scripting for the Main/AV section of the Avic is hardcoded into the machine. We can only access the coding in the NAV section. We were able to get some parts of the Main code such as the phone, and AV hide functions, but that is only because there are remnants of the original code in the 'navigatemap.ui' file. I have tried for a long while to uncover the code of the 'main/AV' part and was unsuccessful. I have tried playing around by adding scripts to 'hopefully' luck out and access some areas in the main code, but again, I was unsuccessful. All I can say is, play around and 'Good Luck'!

yes, anything that you want to load on to the Avic, you have to use testmode No Yes!

I would try to redo the 3.0 firmware again. Try using the FX 3.1 mod, that has been successful as far as I know. I also had the reboot problem after I installed the legit firware from Pioneer. After I installed the hacked version, all was good for my F700. I can explain why this happened, but that is not as important as how to fix it, so just install one of the hacked versions and you should be good to go.

No, it is not possible. We cannot change the script in the Main/AV part of the unit, only the navigation part. There is several ways of doing this with a button in the Nav section though.

Yes they do, I would prefer the Hardware bypass though, it is not hard to do and it works 100%!

Too easy, just follow the directions to a 'T'! It is easier than it seems-- Extract all of the folders/files from the .rar file you downloaded, onto a freshly formatted SD card with a testmode folder. You only need to deal with 4 different folders on your AVIC and they are labeled on the folders themselves that the files are in within the zip once extracted. Also make sure you have a full back up of your FLASHDISK. Really, you are going to edit a lot of files here and it will be nice to go back if you want/need to. Once the SD card is inserted into your AVIC, power it on and boot

Sounds like you possibly downloaded the schemes in the wrong folder, otherwise, this should not happen. In the meantime, if the mod worked ok right away, then obviously the problem is in the schemes installation. Just delete the schemes from the folder make sure it boots ok, and then try again, but follow the instructions

it should look something like this

I just wanted to apologize to everyone for my absense. I have been without a computer for some time as I was waiting for parts to come in to build a new one, and I will not have anything but the best . I cant do any mods or updates on my ipad . I will not really be doing a tutorial as these mods ae pretty self explanitory iun the first posts. V5 is still coming, actually, it is complete in the NON MSN versiuon, but I need to have the MSN version set up to post it.

Here in the Avic world, we call them scheme's, not skins. There are a tonne of schemes here that look a lot better than that. I have designed many, and there are a few more available in DPDursts mods from some of the designers from the 'igo8 Artwork' site. If you are talking about the UI, I would not attempt to change that.
