nope, they just turn green. I don't know whether you noticed, but it is not the _current_ sign that changes color but the _next_ sign: the sign that is displayed while on the intersection Weo

Well, yes. I used your installer, although I left out the US map update (am afraid this is not much use in Belgium) Anyway, I promised you a video, so here it is. Only thing is: I shot it with my cell phone, and I managed to hold it upside down :$. Mind you: this is a freeway intersection, so I am using both of my hands a lot of the time Weo VIDEO0005.wmv

Sorry, don't have the AVICEdit software. But if you just want to sort your contacts, try the following: Generate a sorted CSV file with SQLite: enter following SQL (under the tab "execute SQL"), click on "Actions" and save as CSV SELECT * FROM phonebook order by chShowName Delete all records from the phonebook (Table->Empty Table) import the CSV you created using the Import Wizard I know, it is a bit of a pain, but like I said: the AVIC does not do any sorting, it just takes all records sequentially hth, Weo

Which file do you mean? I can still access the Outlook macro I was talking about? Weo

Will try to make a video of it, although it will only show the change of colour, nothing else seem to change. I know you don't live in Belgium, but one spot I am certain of is when I switch from the A12 to the R0 around Brussels (Belgium). Although I have seen it on lots of other intersections too, this is one I take almost every day. This junction around Brussels is a clover-leaf interchange (a 4-way interchange in which inner loops are provided for left turn movements and direct outer connections for right turn movements). As soon as I get onto the interchange, technically I am no longer on

Hi Diaftia, have been on your 2.3 for ages, and now you being back and all is just great. I went thorugh the motions with this 3.1 and 3.2.1, and there is something that is, well bizarre I very much like your idea of having one version for us and europe, where you can switch between roadsigns. But there already was a quirk in 2.3 (version edited by Merten3000) which still is there in 3.2.1: when selecting to have the Euro freeway signs, and the blue background, this only works on the freeways. On the intersections / ramps / changers or whatever you want to call them, they always revert

Without the avicedit software it is still possible to roll your own with a minimum of hassle. You could use the Outlook based method, or you can use FireFox with the SQLite Manager addon. Here is a way to start from scratch: [*:414e90zo]open the addon, and create a new database [*:414e90zo]go to the "execute SQL" panel, and enter following SQL CREATE TABLE phonebook (ID INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, chShowName TEXT, chPhoneCode TEXT, dwType INTEGER ); [*:414e90zo]next you enter the relevant information in the newly created table via the "browse & search" tab.

OK, I think the easiest thing to do is to monitor how the phone number appears on your AVIC when you recieve a call. The format in which you store the phonenumbers (and the SQL) has to match just that. The thing is when you try to call '052123456', this will work. But when you recieve the call, the number that is presented to the AVIC, will be '+3252123456' (the 'national' 0 will be replaced by the international code for the country of the caller) Now if your phonebook entry does not match this exactly, it will not work. HTH, Weo

Correct: the numbers need to be stripped of all non-numeric stuff. There is a thread in which this is explained. Outlook tries to store the phone numbers in a country-related style, e.g. for Belgium +32 (52) 19 12 14. This won't work. What I always do is to set my Outlook country setting to Generic. Then it will let you enter the phone number in the format you want. Some work, but it pays of.. It is of course possible to have the Macro do the work for you. In the last paragraph, you could write: Private Sub PrintSQLElement(Name, Phone, qualifier) Phone = Replace(Phone, " ", "") '

It is a standard SQLite file, so pretty easy to figure out... and yu could have a look at http://avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=25308&hilit=phonebook weo

I do have another problem, with the Europe implementation of this mod. In Belgium, our highway signs have a blue background, as opposed to green in the US. Merten has changed this, but apparently on highway intersections this reverts back to white on green. Anybody has a clue where this ambiguity comes from? Weo

Same here, but not to worry: I also had this a few months ago, and again now. Probably has to do with discrepancy between Europe and US DST settings. Annoying, but harmless. Weo

jezzik, cool, I must have been blind to miss this one. Thanks for pointing out. Weo

Hi Klex, no, this will not work. This is an update for version 3, not an upgrade from Version 2 You could try the non-official upgrade as described in this forum cheers, Weo

Bud, can't say I can confirm, but did some interesting find myself: this morning, voice guidance was mute only (happens often when it was cold outside). The only solution to remedy this is to reboot. Unfortunately, rebooting means I have to turn the ignition off. But after I did this, the trip computer worked! Now I was wondering: would it be possible to issue a soft-reset from within the application? Perhaps another shortcut on the menu, but I do not know which command to use to issue this reboot command. In the Testmenu there is this reboot button, but that one calls Restart.exe
