  1. Thanks koper.. good to know how to fix it if it stops working again.. though Im now using one of the nightly builds like ryar suggested and google maps is working fine.. I have been busy the last few days so I haven't had a chance to play with this again until today.. I am going to do what ryar has suggested and do multiple smaller .raster files. I'm still trying to get all the 20x images down from google earth though.. wish it would download faster its taking hours just to get 2gb worth of images.. does anyone know how to take a screenshot on the AVIC? would be nice to post some screenshots w
  2. Hey good call on the nightly! Ill look into it.. I WISH I would have found that tutorial when I was trying to figure it out too.. I was doing the same as you.. google translating .ru websites and piecing info together. I was trying to figure out the license file on another forum and another member posted that website.. I was like WTF! why in the hell did I not find that haha! What do you mean by "I had to download and render one at a time or the roads would not match up for the extire area" because mine are off somewhat.. but if im reading correctly you are saying you just did one "tile" at
  3. Who wants their maps to look like the right side?! i know I did! Read on! Been a long time since ive been on here.. and im glad I did. I found chucks mod and unlocked a WHOLE new level of awesomeness to my avic! iGo Primo is great! First of all you use satellite images to create the raster files that overlay on your regular maps! Its not very hard to do.. you just need a few tools which I attached to this post, and a license file that allow for raster images which I cant post here but the full file name is below and a simple google search should allow you to find it easily. http://wisnata.
  4. Ok so i was having the same problem as others (bt sofware version: not found) except deleting the said files was not fixing it either.. turns out the fix is simple.. so i am posting this for any future readers of this post.. just goto pioneers website and download the bt software update for your avic.. run the update.. even if you already have the update like i did.. it will run again because when it checks your current version it comes back not found.. i didnt even have to reboot after.. and all is working even after 6 reboots here is a link to where i downloaded the update for my f7010 w
  5. Thats the BIGGEST problem car stuff at best buy.. 9 times out of 10 the guy sellin the equipment has NO clue about how the stuff really works (ur lucky if they know how to change a fuse) and when you ask stuff like "is this all i need?" they have no idea so they say yes.. most newer cars require a bypass module to fool the cars security into thinking the key is in the ignition so it can be started... a remote start essentially "hot wires" a car.. but with the anti theft stuff in cars these days its not as easy as crossing a few wires. I can say that you can buy the bypass modules off the inter
  6. id have to say the new viper remote is my favorite part and my least favorite at the same time =P I love the look and feel of the new style remotes.. much more elegant looking than the old ones.. i like the 2way feature.. my civic has the older 2 way with the screen which is bulky and kills batteries rather quick. While they do have a newer style remote with the screen on it i like the 5900's led 2way system.. i just replaced the batteries in the remote 2day after 7+months... i replace the battery like every 3 in the old one. The only reason I would say that I dont like the new remotes is ther
  7. I also have a 5901.. love it.. anyways im an automotive electronics installer. I just checked out the wires for an 06 tundra it has 2 ignition wires and 1 accessory wire. as long as all 3 of those are powered with the remote start your radio will come on. Some cars have multiple ignition wires and multiple accessory wires. Whoever did the install on the avalanche must not have hit all of them (they are not all required to start the car).. dunno why but they should have.
  8. for the hardware hack.. you moved the mute wire (or added another wire) in the harness that the mute wire and all the rca in/outs are? after that you have to ground both the moved/added wire and the light green ebrake wire.. ground = tap both into the black wire on your main harness. if you have not seen this check it out.. detailed pics http://www.avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17013
  9. I dont see any future firmware updates making bootup that much faster.. I would either say try to get use to it.. or get a remote start =P I hardly ever see my boot screen and if i do its only for a cpl seconds.. for small stops Ive put a lil push button on my dash to activate the remote start so when im stopping off at say the gas station for some beer or whatever.. i press it.. wait 2 seconds and take the keys out.. car stays running.. therefore so does my avic.. EDIT* obviously remote starts are good for more than just missing my boot screen also! Like keeping my a$$ warm this time of y
  10. Looks like all the flash backups have been removed... did pioneer send someone a nasty letter?
  11. BTW.. i am using the hacked ezrider with TA 2009.6 maps... dunno if this could all be problems with the hacked ezrider.. though i doubt it
  12. quick lowdown on my setup.. F7010bt... "unofficial" 3.0 which is just a flashdisk dump of the x910.. then updated with the xseries 3.0101 update from pioneer.. and then when i got my hands on the official i used the 2nd SD to update it with no problems.. I have only really used the nav on trips so im usually moving.. and havnt noticed until today.. when driving around town sometimes when im stopped its like the nav doesnt know what direction im pointing and moves around and usually settles in the completely wrong direction... then finally corrects itself after i start moving again. Im thinkin

    help

    as long as the SD card with the testmode is in the SD slot its going to keep going back to the "desktop". After you copy the MyFlashDisk to your AVIC just take the SD card out and then do the reset and you should be fine.
  14. the compass surrounding the car no.. wasnt a fan.. but the tach i saw on one of the other sites posted.. now that would be cool.
