Hey Ovalball,

 

Still checking in once in awhile and trying to help others.

I have an early Christmas gift for you, I found a primo.exe file which allows Primo 2.0 sound to work regardless of source. I posted it on the second post of this thread. Simply replace your primo.exe with the one in the zip and enjoy full sound!

 

Happy holidays!

Ryar,as always,you are a star!Almost gave upon this!A merry Christmas to you and all Avic411 followers.Many Thanks.

Hi Ryar

See youre still keeping the old place going!I always appreciated your help on here,my F900 was close to going out the window a couple of times!

Hi Ryar

Thanks for the reply.Im thinking it may be my unit which is at fault because I've started to have a few issues running IGO aswell.I think the years of going into test mode has finally taken its toll.I will try going right back to basics when I get a free weekend to spare.Otherwise I will have to replace it.What with ??

Has anyone got Primo 2 running smoothly yet ?I gave up after constant freezing.I read somewhere you need 128 m of RAM to use the advanced features of Primo 2.

Thanks ovallball, nice to hear from you too. How is your f500bt? Mine crapped out; the digitizer broke and would not accept touch screen commands. Too bad, at least I got several years heavy use out of it before it bit the dust.

Both running ok at present.500 just running on Mr Blues mod and all is well.Still struggling with Primo on my 900 though.It will run ok then just freeze.Now running primo on Wayteq unit which has 128 M memory and running ok after 2 weeks testing.Would love to run Primo trouble free on my 900 but my patience just ran out!

Hi Ryar Nice to hear from you,hope you are well.

I think Primo runs best with 128 M of Ram,and doesnt like our 64!I am running it on a WayteQ stand alone unit and it runs like a dream.When I try it on my F900 or F500 it crashes.

You can as long as you delete the apl2/user/userdata/Igo/save folder.

Put the maps in apl2/Igo/content/maps.If you are using non pioneer :)maps you will need generic license files.Let me know if this is the case and I can e mail them to you.

In Primo you can set height,length weight etc.I have done this for my motorhome and it works very well.

The link above should take you to diafitas mod with primo.You can launch Primo a d then select your vehicles dimensions to suit.

In regional settings you can select metric etc

If you PM me I will try to help.

Try copy and paste on the password.I had similar problems and solved them by trying c and p.

I solved this by running the firmware upgrade ,free from the pioneer website.I just reinstalled 3,1 and was then able to access the SD card again.

Ovalball, you would have to make sure that you don't mess up with the iGo baseline though. You'll otherwise be unable to access your AVIC anymore!!!

Chuck I'm,up and running again!After hours of pulling my hair out I tried to start all over again.I got into the service menu and did a wince update with format.After this i coul,d access test mode again!So i reinstalled my MFD back up and all is sweet again!Thanks for your help as always!Wonder if there will be any new mods coming up pr do you think we have exhausted the F series now?Really like to run Primo)off your mod of course!)but memory issues with certain skins are a bit of a pain.

Hummm, don't know how to help you ovalball but myself I don't use testmode anymore to make change to my mod or Primo, except when the AVIC doesn't boot.

 

If it boots, you can still make change to it by terminating iGo or Primo, then open Explorer or Commander to make changes.

 

Good lucks.

Yes thanks Chuck,that appears the best option.Think maybe the SD card reader is faulty,even though I can still play music from it.All the best my friend.

After years of modding My BT900 has decided its had enough and wont let me into testmode!The screen goeas blank but then it just boots up as normal.Tried different SD cards but no joy.Anyone with any ideas please?Dont know what i will do to fill my days!

He already solved this and uploaded his files to a website, I'll also be making a euro fix torrent.

Great idea tail24

oval ball can i get a hold of your backup files? I want to complile them into a torrent for proper help of EW people. I have one back up but like to have as many as possible. are you running 3.0 or higher? Thanks

I am running 3 on my bt900 and 2.007 on my recently purchased F500.You are more than welcome to have copies of both.Whats the best way to get them to you?

I dont have the unit but read it does. But If I cant do it myself I have hard time endorsing it.

Ok Thanks for your reply.Looks like I need to investigate a bit more.

If not I have both male and female you can have

Could anyone with a F500BT please confirm that the TMC will only work when ehe cradle has power to it,and not if the power goes straight into the 500 itself?Thanks

Cheers Chuck.The only thing I have lost is TMC ,the radio frequencies aren't showing.This 500 seems to be a different animal altogether than my trusty F900bt.

Send me a pm and I will sort this for you

Update Chuck.

Sorted!Installed the 2.007 firmware from the OFFICIAL Pioneer website,then installed mods,maps etc and BINGO!It all works.Now I've got twice as many things to waste my time on....I love it!
