Vorian Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 One word of caution - I was not able to successfully edit settings.ui in windows notepad. The file is 92kB and I suspect that notepad was doing something unusual with it. Every attempt I made to edit the file resulted in my nav unit failing to boot. If you have some other way of editing text files, use that instead. I edited that one in Textwrangler on the Macintosh then transfered it into windows and into the data.zip and it worked fine, so the problem is definately with notepad. Stephanie, I use EditPad Lite for all of the txt editing I've been doing. Check it out... http://www.editpadpro.com/editpadlite.html It's a very useful txt editor for Windows.

Vorian Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Also... what exactly does that 'Warn in pedestrian mode' mean? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pancho_pantera Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 yeah, I dont have an IP bus port on the unit but I do have an extra auxillary port from my car. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BorisM Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 You need to comment those lines out and add one below them, so it now looks like this:;---746 or 749? ;runif vBetaMode "0" sc_rs_746init ;else_run sc_rs_749init run sc_rs_749init That will force the route settings screen into the F500 mode, then you will have the option to disable the snap-to-road function. I would think it would be more interesting to have 700-900 models also show options available in 500 as well. The major (only) difference in scripts that are called to init here is that 749 brings up ui_SettingRoute2 layer from setting_800_480.ui file, and 746 brings ui_SettingRoute layer instead. I can't test it in the car right now (too rainy but adding these lines: to ui_SettingRoute layer (and possibly adjusting positions of other control elements) should allos 746 models to turn snap-to-road off.

mazda_3 Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Hey Stephanie for the msnd if you can get a serial number i think 16 digit for it then you can try and register it and see if it works. i beleive that part would be all coded in the unit but the actual dvd player function i think the reading lense would be different. I would be kinda pissed off if that function worked in the 700 because i payed extra for that function in the 900 haha. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Looking further in the setting file... Looks like our scripting friends commented out but did not remove quite a few extra setting options (that would've at least made sense if they wanted to save memory). There are settings there for building visibility (in addition to landmarks), Speedcamera warnings (I think this was requested here many times), extra MSN settings, Car Type selection etc. I'm going to see if I can hack some of these in tomorrow... but if anyone gets them in before me, I'm all ears...

Jascias Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Stephanie, I got the Keep Position On Road to show up, but its greyed out (the default shows ON). I have the F90. Do you think I should change the 749 numbers to 747? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stephanie Posted September 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Sorry - I forgot there were 3 more lines to comment out: ;runif nVehicle 5 'rdkeepposon.enable, rdkeepposoff.enable' ;else_runif nVehicle 6 'rdkeepposon.enable, rdkeepposoff.enable' ;else_run 'rdkeepposon.disable, rdkeepposoff.disable' When those lines are not commented, they disable the keep gps on road unless your vehicle is a bike or pedestrian. Comment them out to enable the buttons for all vehicles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

paQ Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 divx on f700bt unit would be grrrreat...buti think this thread is dead... Divx from SD works on a 700. Don't know if it runs of a disc. Can anyone confirm when one leaves out the UC / EW rule, that a UC model can tune into even frequencies? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
