Boris, I am not speaking to you any more unless of course I need your help.... so now.....take that..... Well, you could have re-read the manual and found the answer to your question (and may be some other useful tidbits of information), but yeah, we've wasted enough time on this already.

Miotoo, thank you for this endeavor.. actually this thread should be jump'n Will WinCE allow use of Google maps software and access the GPS feed.... inother words, can we display google maps with gps position...... fingers crossed........the thought of google in satellite view on my avic is so awesome.......please say yes - please say yes........

does "skyfire" work in WinCE environment? Meanwhile back at the ranch..... I have ordered the Spectec SD WiFi Card. I've downloaded the software wmWifiRouter and I am closer to my carputer than ever before. CARPUTER Navigation "check" gps "check" audio "check" video "check" internet "check" Large HD "check" IPOD "check" BT Phone "check" add in IDT 3.0 improvements throughout.... I didnt expect to accomplish my Carputer in this way... I have a feeling this is going to grow from here

it is the map icon just right of the bullseye, it cycles "north-up" "heads-up" and "3d"

my accuracy is off by inconsistent amounts, i dont think we'll do any better than 0-40 ft off depending on circumstance..... its the technology, maps, cpu's, atmospheric conditions, displays, software..... etc...etc..

hey Miotoo, why doesnt the image of the buy.com SD card look the same as in your unit..... different colors and different thicknesses (thickness appearance anyway...).... please verify when you get a moment, I want to make sure I order yours, as I can see its working... Also, the wmwifirouter software shows my touch diamond cellphone as verified functional. Some I am getting close.

I think the car is offset back......... like the very end of the car is on the right spot, but by then the front of the car is past the "spot".............

screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeccccccccccccccccccccccccchhhhhhhhhh !!!!!! manipulation....... input.......... what about mouse and keyboard function......... does touchscreen do both?..... how effectively?..... darn, wanted to order tonight...... At the moment I'm using a stylus as mouse and the wince built-in input panel as keyboard... holy crapola.... thats a small keyboard popup...... looks like that auto wreck I've managed to avoid for so long looms closer....

I have used the spud file from this site, and the txt file from this site. I have even converted the txt to spud and used it and the spud to txt and used it....... all 4 attempts give the same response.... no audio on the F500BT.... remember, our F500's mutes the HU audio and sends the Avic audio whenever neccessary, such as for ipod/SD or guidance.. the speedcam warning audio is not being output unless the audio is already being emitted from the F500.... gotta be some coding logic there.... but I am clueless

I AM IN, NOW...... can we make our own phones a hotspot or something like that?...... I have never had to look into this as I have a pc card for my laptop that works anywhere with Cingular/AT&T..... can my phone be used somehow? ...that is fan-f'ing-tastic......... I AM ORDERING TODAY...... WOOooooooHOOOOooooOO

Thanks for responding J, the speedcam audio - be it voice or beeps - is not coming out of the AVIC unless I have the sd card or ipod playing..... or during the coincidence of guidance audio at the same time of speedcam warning..... I do see the visual display everytime. any ideas???

also, I was using guidance to a POI and when it was speaking during my approach to a speedcam, I could also here the speed cam warning audio..... when the guidance audio ended, the speedcam audio stopped also........ IDT ??? comment please?? thanks bro No problem, this is so much better than stock that I find myself driving around just to play with the new "stuff"... well worth the $$.... I will continue to contribute to you for further time spent on your mods I am having a problem that I have definitely pinpointed. My F500BT will only give audible speedcam warnings when I a

thanks bro No problem, this is so much better than stock that I find myself driving around just to play with the new "stuff"... well worth the $$.... I will continue to contribute to you for further time spent on your mods I am having a problem that I have definitely pinpointed. My F500BT will only give audible speedcam warnings when I am actually listening to sound via the avic (like the SD card or Ipod) and then the warning is super loud.. LOL scares the F out of me even though I know its about to happen..... when I am using the head unit audio, I only get the display image and no s

welll.......... it's done...... it is an improvement. The heads up map display is there as advertised. Better screen touch response; better display contrast. Ironically, they fixed some things that never should have been there in the first place........I cant quite understand how a company like pioneer could release a product where the sound of the key presses would get as loud as the SD card music volume as you turned it up...ridiculous.... they fixed it..... I have been and still am happy with my Avic-Z and my F500BT........ and the IDT 3.0 is working great awesome... I owe him some $$$....

MIOTOO, it is MMCX.......... i am the poster of the MMCX info.... I tried using the MCX version of the Gilsson antenna. I had to add an adapter to change it to MMCX (my thread list the adapter - the link is already posted in this thread)..... I am using that setup right now and the Gilsson as absolutely amazing...... I get 12 green satellites at about 65-75% on the bars....... no drop outs and no "GPS SIGNAL LOST" from the AVIC. The previous performance was only a few greens, mostly yellows and a few reds.. I have sent back my second antenna and have ordered the Gilsson MMCX1M09B090.... (o

Out of couriosity, where you able to use the (IDT?) mod before you did the bypass on your f500bt?

Looks pretty pretty good.. Will this also work on the APU 3.0 (thats "Authentic Pioneer Upgrade" ) for our F series?? ....I am willing to toss a little $$$ your way for an F500BT on IDT V3.0 steriods... WOoooOOHOOoooo

lol there is no page 201. yeah....... i just about fell over when I saw no page 201, but did not want to fan the flames...... fuunnnnnny

i am sad along with you...... hope the thief gets his soon. I wanted to install my F500BT so that it looked near factory. I actually had to reconsider because I kept thinking that someone would think its a full unit and rip my car up to find its really only an inexpensive GPS unit... so now it is installed in such a way that you can see the 1 inch thickness and I removed the "pioneer" moniker... hopefully the thiefs will see it as just a GPS and no really worth it.... it sucks that we have to consider these type of things at the top of the install list...... i hope he gets his soon

Please enlighten me, are we talking about official pioneer 3.0 upgrade specifically for the F90BT?.... I am starting to get confused on whats what anymore......

I may just quit working....... I will be away for 2 weeks.... I will actually have a long stop over within 25 miles of my house while flying from one place to another on Friday.... I will swing by to get the update, which is at my home right now, but I will not be able to install it until August 11th or 12th...... I may just quit....AVIC more important.....

well.......... good news... I had assumed that the "gps signal lost" warning only occured when i did not complete my bluetooth handshake with the avic.... It seemed that when i got the warning my bluetooth was usually not connected... since my addition of the external gps antenna and a weekend of driving without my phone connected via bluetooth... I have not recieved any lost gps warnings.... also, for some reason I can not explain, the avic started acquiring the satellites more quickly as the hours went by... this was true from a regular AVIC system start or even after unplugging, ba

we all have to do one of three things with the new 3.0 update... 1) hack the new update to add goodys and effective mods, 2) wait for someone capable to do the hacks and share with the community, or 3) leave the update as is and live with it.. unfortunately, I fall into number two....... some of the wizards in our community will dive in as soon as they get their hands on 3.0..... what a shame.... Computer science was my minor, but that was many moons ago..... this is really making me want to get back into it..........

gps antenna part number is "Gilsson MMCX1M09B090" available at amazon for 22.95 my added adapter is straight just like the antenna above. but the cable is small and robust. You will easily be able to radius bend it 90 degrees. I intend to add a small velcro assembly to the back of the unit to hold the cable and still allow removal....
