I figured the iPod occurence had nothing to do with the mod, I will have to look into that further to figure out why that happened.

I got 3DCars to work. I think my error was in the unzipping/zipping of the data.zip. I know, rookie mistake. Heres some detailed instructions on how to add 3DCars to Diaftia v3.0 using the files in the download link provided (or at least how it worked for me). If it seems like I'm ommitting certain steps that have been mentioned for 3DCars in the past, that's because I am. These steps are assuming you download and use the files in the download link provided combined with a unit running Diaftia v3.0:

1. Download and extract provided zip from link below. Inside you will see a folder "3DCars" and 2 files, "data.zip" and "sys.txt." Copy "3DCars" folder to SD card and paste entire folder as is in myflashdisk-->apl2-->igo on device

2. I included the exact data.zip and sys.txt files that I used on my unit, which is for the "LDBlack" vehicle (looks like a black suv). If you want that same 3D vehicle and are running Diaftia v3.0, or just don't feel like doing any more work, then you're in luck. Just replace these 2 files to the same location as above (the igo folder on your device) with the data and sys files already there and you're done.

3. If you want a different vehicle, you'll have to edit the sys.txt and data.zip files accordingly:

a) First, the sys.txt - open my sys.txt file and edit "LDBlack.mdl" to whatever you want in the 4 rows that look like this:

[3d]

car_day=LDBlack.mdl

car_night=LDBlack.mdl

ghost_day=LDBlack.mdl

ghost_night=LDBlack.mdl

*Inside the bmp folder within the included 3DCars folder, you can view images of the different vehicles to help you decide

-then copy this new sys.txt folder to igo folder on your device

Next, the data.zip - unzip mine and in the "gfx" folder replace the 2 files "LDBlack.mdl" and "LDBlack.tex" with the .mdl and .tex files of whatever vehicle you choose. You simply copy (not cut!) the two files from the 3DCars folder and paste in gfx. You then re-zip and place your new data.zip in the igo folder on your device. That's it. Not very complicated or difficult.

- For some reason, I was running into problems re-zipping my data file and the discussion is probably not approprate here. I will say that my final working data file was re-zipped using WinRar 3.93, default settings except changed "update mode" tab to "ask before overwriting." I don't want to diverge on that, but thats what worked for me (and trust me, many other ways didn't)

NOTE: these instructions only apply to Diaftia v3.0. The 3DCars folder included is from abb1 4.0, I take no credit for that, I just simply pulled that folder and put it in this download. The sys.txt and data.zip files were originally from Diaftia v3.0 and were very simply modified to those in this download link. The only modifications I made to Diaftia's original 2 files pertain to the 3DCars, specifically the LDBlack vehicle. My intention was to organize a simple 3DCars add-on resource specific to Diaftia v3.0. Hope this helps anyone interested.

Alex,

First off, GREAT WORK! I had been using v2.3 for a while and am very impressed by all the new features, particularly how smooth the quick menu and overall design is.

Something I wanted to point out...I was using my iPod today and noticed that when you bring up the "artists" tab and attempt to jump to a specific letter of the alphabet to the right of the screen, it was not working. For example, you are at the artists screen and want to go to "Led Zeppelin" and go to "L" and then touch the "L" it does not bring you there. I am not sure if it was something buggy on my iPod or I was doing something wrong, but I figured I'd mention it and see if anyone else is having similar issues.

With regards to the 3dcars topic, this is essential for me. I spent a lot of time last night trying to put in misterblues 3dcars and abbs but could not get it to work. Abb1, could you give detailed instructions on how to add 3dcars to this mod?? Links to specific files would be extremely helpful since there is really no one topic on the forum devoted solely to a 3dcars folder that can be added and manually manipulated universally in different mods. I have used it previously with no problem, but for some reason last night spent hours tweaking the sys.txt and data.zip files as previously mentioned in threads by Abb1 and others, but could not figure it out. I was trying to use the "ldblack" vehicle from one of misterblues recent threads and am completely dumbfounded by this. Like I said, I have done it in the past no problem and no where/how to add the 3dcars folder and edit the files, but I was curious as if this will even work with this v3.0 mod. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Good work man!! Can't wait to try this out!!

I have been using Daftia 2.3 for a long time and have long been waiting for an apple/apple-esque theme like this. Those shots look sick! Like muRte said, clean and simple. Looks much more modern than any of the previous themes out there. Thanks dragon24...keep up the good work and can't wait for the final to be released!!

I know this question is probably far fetched, but I figured I'd give it a shot. I have not found any info in the forums on this topic and was wondering if anyone has tried this or it is even possible.

The main app I would love to get to show up on my avic is the scrabble app I have on my ipod touch. How sweet would that be to have it up on the screen and playing with another person on a long car trip.

This is my first post...I'm a newbie to the avic community but am very excited to see this topic. I will anxiously be waiting to see when the Apple theme comes out.

I too don't see much of a point with the "slide to unlock" function, but I see your reasoning in wanting to preserve the Apple-esque nature of the theme.

Just one suggestion for the theme: try not to clutter it too much with the apple logo. I have a ps3 and have tested out lots of different themes, and most of them will have that stupid apple logo as background screens or integrated in somehow.
