Hiya

 

Is there a way to make the speed camera warnings louder? or have a verbal warning etc. The beeps are really quiet you lamost dont notice it.

 

Cheers

I'm guessing your from Europe. I don't think that feature is available on the US units. Hopefully that will change when the AVIC FEEDS application is released.

I'm in the UK mate and haven't found a way of changing the alerts.

 

I agree, with music on they are very hard to hear.

 

I also don't understand the display when you near a camera, it shows the distance to the camera which is fair enough but it always seems to list speed at 0 mph - is that perhaps the speed you are over the limit?

 

Cheers.

yeah its really quiet eh, ive also noticed it doesnt show average speed camera's either (or none ive been past today) i wonder if we could use a different speed camera database?

 

i noticed about the o mph thing as well and was wondering, ill need to have a play with that i think.

 

i noticed the radio volume doesnt go up and down with the speed but the navi one does is there a setting for that or would i need to connect the speed sensor wire for that to work?

 

cheers

The speed shown is the speed the camera is set at, i think when it says 0 thats mobile camera's (well it was between dundee and dyce today anyway)

You might want to try replacing the .wav file associated with that alert with something more audible. I understand that you can't increase the volume of it, but maybe a different sound might be easier to hear?

 

The .wav files are located in the \LPUE080\APL2\iGo\data.zip file (or at least they are in the US version).

that sounds like a good plan! how do you get into these files on the system then?

 

cheers :D

Hacking for the win :) lol!

 

Good idea though - please post instructions, that would be superb.

You should be able to boot into winCE using Pioneer's recent update. Did they release the update in the UK?

 

I haven't tried any hacking yet, but I would think that replacing that .wav file with another sound (with the same filename) 'should' make it play your new sound when you get the alert.

Guys,

 

I've just updated to firmware x1900.

 

It now mutes the volume of the audio source when you approch a speed camera location - much easier to hear the beeps now!
