coachpuff Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Ok,..i may be the only thats really fired up about this, but I stumbled upon a way that bluetooth seems to be working with my Igo8/leetlauncher mods.I tested this in my driveway once, haven't tried it while driving, but I can't think of why that would make a difference.Here's what I did to get it workin,.... Assuming you already have leetlauncher/igo8,.... 1. with SD card inserted, boot up to PIONEER first,..let load completely and connect to your bluetooth phone. 2.then go back to leetlauncher menu(Menu, Down) and select TomTom,..dont worry if you do not use or do not have maps,..just get it up and running. 3.then go back to leetlauncher menu(Menu, Down) and select IGO. Igo should start up normally, bluetooth light stays on,..and I am able to use my phone while the igo navi is displayed. Like I said, hasn't been tested thoroughly, I just called my voicemail and all seemed good.Haven't tried making a call to someone yet. Will be doin that soon and will follow up with my findings.

eurotuner29 Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Ya but do u have gps reception? Whenever i booted up pioneer first and then one of the other apps i never got the gps reception to connect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
coachpuff Posted March 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Yup,..gps and everything else seems to be working.I was even able to go back into test mode and close out tomtom,..bluetooth still working because the Tel app is still running...so far so good. It was a little moody, meaning that it took me a couple of tries to get it goin, but was able to repeat the process and get the same results.GPS and Bluetooth phone workin.

coachpuff Posted March 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Not sure if you do, but I dont have anything in the TomTom folder other than what came in the leetlauncher file.No maps or anything. I can see if you have maps loaded, and actually load the tomtom navi, issues with gps may occur. Just taking a guess here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

coachpuff Posted March 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Ihavent had a lot of time to test it out yet, I just sttumbled on it a little over an hour ago.I can say that so far,..I have been able to access my contacts via AVIC interface and make calls...all with gps still workin. I will let you all know if I notice anything else being compromised. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't have the TOM TOM in my leetlauncher any more, but taking that out of the sequence and booting up to Pioneer first, letting the phone connect and then going to the IGO software gives me a "resevered memory out of error" pop up every time. Its not a big deal to me, I have modded mine to where I like the standard Pioneer system and like using the phone. But thought I'd try and report it back.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
coachpuff Posted April 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Ok,..after further repated boots,..its a bit tricky to get it goin. I get the same error, but -i then go to testmode, close tomtom, -press menu/down and launch igo8, and try no more than 4 times, and it eventually fires up. kind of a pain in the ass,..i know..but I really liked the hands free feature of the AVIC, so its worth it for me. I am still not entirely sure why tomtom makes any difference in this, but I can say that somehow, the tomtom launcher allows the AVIC's "Tel" app(BT phone) to continue running, allowing full functionality of the BT phone.
