BUMP??...... anyone??

These units are a pleasure with the mods installed, I hope you find a nearby member. I cant live without my upgrade

Hey J,

when I press the target icon to add a speed trap, I then press the add speedcam buttom/icon.

After i add the cam and hit done it goes to the previous page as expected (shown here), on this page the return arrow goes again to the add cam page. I want it to return to the map at the view showing when i selected the cam (we can always hit the map button to go to our current gps position).

I can hit return on both pages a few times and it eventually goes back to the map view page (or just hit the map button).

this was the same for the previous release (3v3.1) also, but was correct for earlier releases. I really want to go back to the map view that i was viewing at the time i selected the target icon.

also, with 3.1, if i was using guidance, the return map view would be zoomed out to display almost my entire route. requiring me to hit the zoom 5-6 times to get back to a usable view. this still seems a little off in 3v3.5 but not like 3v3.1. hopefully you can help with this.

do you need anything to help get your unit back up and going (from the community)

just tap the red arrow atop the trip computer to hide it. Coding is required to bring the trip computer image in front of speed/elevation bmp's....... IDT may need to chime in on that one

ok got the trip computer to work but have a minor issue. I would like the on screen icons to show up over the speed limit and elevation bitmap. Also how do I make them go away and display the map screen without the trip computer boxes? When i tap the current speed bitmap it doesn't hide. Thanks this is very nice.

Where is the file that I would edit to add more stock symbols to MSN ? It appears that quite a few are not there. I checked the MSN Direct website and they boast about 900 stocks and index symbols...... imagine that, a pitiful 900....... there are thousands of publically traded companies on just the US markets alone (my interest is US markets)

any ideas?

you have made this thing a joy to use... I really appreciate it (wont discuss audio on F500BT speedcam...LOL)

I dont understand why pioneer doesnt see such improvements as way increase interest and sales

thanks J for being a member here

sent more $$$......... couple days ago... you get it?

 

got it bro, thanks for the donation

I previously downloaded a "SPUD - TEXT - SPUD" converter (looks like the same one on this thread). I had issues with the txt file converted to spud when the conversion was done "by the Avic" F500BT. it would reboot from time to time after i loaded the speedcam.txt file. when I converted the txt file to spud first and then put that file on the avic it has been flawless as far as the cam function goes. The sound did not work at all until I entered my first manual cam. Just happenstance, no planning on that fix. Now it is a priceless feature (except the F500BT has a "mute head unit" audio issue - so warnings are made via the avic speaker at present)

sent more $$$......... couple days ago... you get it?

Using the AVIC to browse the internet might be ok if you really needed too (hopefully parked) but I believe the real prize will be listening to internet radio stations through your AVIC while you are driving down the road.

+1 and X100

LOL.... remember, its the passenger that does the stuff we should'nt do while driving......thats the reason we have bypasses right.... non of this typing in POI's, addresses, or web pages while we drive. ........right and those guys over on the carputer websites actually carry around unemployed relatives so they can use the carputer system while driving.

..........................The idea of drivers browsing the Web while they're driving, oi. If the Web software let us control the system via voice commands ...........as long as the parking brake hack exists it scares me to think about the possibility of drivers not looking at the road while they browse the web (texting is bad enough!) since there's no way to guarantee the car isn't in motion when they're looking at the thing.

so how much are the F500BT selling for right now? the reason why i'm asking is so that i could easily check/modify the data.zip files in the house instead of going back and fort to my car, anyone selling a used one? all the donations i received will be used to buying an F500 so that i can troubleshoot faster,

Look, with your mod, the f500bt performance jumps 99% just like the big boy Avics, I love it more than my Avic-Z3, and my current OE system.... I find myself driving a little out of the way to enjoy the modded system a little more. I in for a little $$$ on a F500 if you decide to get one

Miotoo....... we cant let this die on the vine. If we can access the web while using the pioneer front end software, the possibilities are endless....

.. I imagine cruising thru San Diego and seeing my gps location blip along using google "satellite image" on my AVIC screen.... ha.....now thats a lot of 3d buildings..

.... or doing the google search and seeing the very latest POI information (not our quickly outdated downloads).

oh the possibilities.....

he says..

easy bro, it's coming

okay, I cant take the tiny avic speaker announcing my speedcam info anymore.

and since I am the "only" F500BT user of the mod who uses the speedcams, I guess i will get no support.

I need to look elsewhere, and though i really like this mod, the F500BT audio feed issue is addressed in other mods ... good luck and enjoy the mod guys....

kevin

one question,did you change the device type of your sys.txt to the one specific to F500?

yeah....... it wont work at all without sys.txt revision for F500BT....... forgot during one of my installs..

I did notice on page 3 of the "GURJON SKIN FOR AVIC" thread this post by SPECTER;

"If you are using an F500BT with the optional amplifier, you will be happy to know that the sound will go through the amplifier and not just the units little speaker."

so this is fixable somehow

I know this sound output thing is apparently F500BT specific, but I notice the "exceeding speed limit" warning audio does indeed mute the HU and annouce over the speakers. Why does this announce correctly, but the "red light camera" warnings do not. They still only announce on the avic itself, forcing me to leave the audio output to "both" and still cant be heard over even moderate volume HU music.

 

PLEASE HELP WITH THIS. The routing of the audio output must be adjustable via code..

 

I love this friggin IDT interface, looks like I have to pay for this 3.0v3 upgrade also...

enjoying the internet, but suffering reboots periodically..... any ideas why.... anyone working on access from within pioneers software.

YOU GUYS ARE FRIGGIN INCREDIBLE...........the WMWIFIROUTER software on my htc diamond touch wirelessly connected to my F500BT is a success. I have internet anywhere my phone works....... thats pretty muchh the whole US...... now we need to get it going while the AVIC software is running

did i do it. am i the first to enter an avic f series created note. the forum works on the avic internet. jeez eyes on the road

Okay, You just did it FourG and Miotoo, My minor was Computer Science, but for some time I have been an engineer and my C.S. has lapsed. I still understand the logic but lack the ability to use the latest Code. I will start relearning today. Any pointers for a website for someome who understands the logic but lacks knowledge on the newer code? boy, what am I getting myself into

Well so far it's not promising, since the WLAN client utility won't pop up on the screen when you insert the card if there is another dialog or window already open. Which there is, since MainMenu, ezrider and SystemSettings are already active tasks on the screen. So next task is looking into an app or registry setting that will let us pass SSID, WEP/WPA info, etc to the Zero Config service in case you want to join a password-protected network (which most 3G/4G to WiFi routers require). Might be able to create an unmanaged C++ .exe in Visual Studio to do the task, but I'm still getting my dev environment set up on my build box.

hey...... this multiplan is a great addition, I often need a second or third option..... Gotta be worth - in the words of that famous clint eastwood movie - "a few $ more"... hope we can get the audio fix in there too.

WEIRD..............

Hey J, I decided to add a few missed and misplaced speedcams. I added them and today, as I approach a speedcam.... I hear the speedcam voice and warning. It is coming thru the avic only.. no muting of the HU. I am quite happy with that for now though I did have turn the volume to max on the avic.

 

It seems that manually adding cams somehow causes the cam audio to activate for all cams on my f500bt.

 

still hoping for speedcam audio thru the HU......any hope for it on the new release

 

multidraw on the way, i was about to release a version today but with the multidraw working i think i'll hold off til i fix the BMP's

Hey, im kind of confused with all of the questions flying around. But i am going to attempt to set up a script and such to allow us to boot Opera and CE by pressing the button for Voice. as i never use it =] does anyone see any flaws with my idea?

I do use it for IPOD voice control occasionally, But I'd take that trade in a heart beat.....

Miotoo, do you know if it is possible to put the testmode files on the actual wifi sd card(i'm not familiar with the limitations of this type of sd card)? That way we would only have to use one sd card to get into testmode and obtain an internet connection. Thanks for your help and advice!

what he said.......

Does anyone think that we could get a web browser to work with the avic software instead of having to boot up into win ce? if that could be incorporated.... damn that would be sweet

 

I agree, it would be awesome to be able to access an internet browser from the AVIC UI without having to boot into testmode!

even if just to check weather and traffic in live realtime, this would be great.

if WinCE with internet and GPS function is available, I would only need WinCE NAV software and a Music plaver via USB Hard drive. This would allow me to use either WinCE and not miss Pioneers software so much

 

i'll try to figure it out, AFAIK i already have it fixed on the next update,

Have you or anyone come up with where to send the audio produced by the speedcam warnings so that it is heard like other audio output (sends the sound out to the head unit speakers)

edit: for the F500BT
