For everyone that have F500BT, here is a soundtest program I need you guys to run since I dont have a F500BT to test. Extract the following zip file to any folder on the SD card, run CE TESTMODE and then execute it. The program should display 3 buttons, click on the buttons and tell me which button makes a beep. Next go into your "control panel" -> System -> Device Name (tab). Here you should see the Device Name please post what you see here. Please post your test result so I can change the launcher to work for the F500BT.

Thanks

re: garmin lossing gps signal after a few seconds, I ran it in my car for over 10 minutes without loosing the signal, then drove under I think 10 mph still ok, then drove faster and lost lost the signal. Maybe i't has so do with speed? Hope it helps someone to figure it out.

Have not seen Leet here in a while - thats a shame especialy since I've contributed $100 houping what he would finish that excelent job he started

Ok guys. Just tried this for the first time and so far everything seems to be working great just didn't have time to copy the maps and everything while on my 10 minute break at work. Just from what I've seen so far, I have a quick question.

Once I go into the iGo or TestMode, is it possible to get back to the main AVIC software? I know it says to push the down button, and when i do, all I see are the options for TomTom, iGo, Garmin and TestMode. I don't see a button to flip back over to the AVIC software. I'm sure it's something simple, but thanks for the help.

Hello, sorry its been a while that I update you guys with anything. I've been busy with work, and been spending times with family and friends. I am still working on the launcher, and as of right now there isn't a major update to the launcher that is worth releasing.

Press menu, then down button, and then you found urself at the initial menu where u have the choices : Igo, tomtom, etc... and also a pretty big choice in the center of that same screen called "PIONNEER" --> press on it ! (and wait a minute or so, for it to start).

thanks. i'm sure this has been discussed somewhere in the previous 16 pages so if it has i apologize.

when booting to iGo 8 then bouncing back to the avic software, the bluetooth connectivity will not load. i know this is an issue, but is the something that may be fixed in an update to come or not?

also, will the bluetooth work when running garmin maps or tomtom maps?

again, sorry if it's already been asked/asnswered.

BT does not work if not using the stock AVIC software

On the very first page of this post, you can see that the new iGo maps are running AND the bluetooth light is lit up with iPod overlays in the lower right. I never looked at that picture before, but that would lead me to believe that using the bluetooth and the new iGo maps should work. I have been pm'ing another member on here and he says it is working for him just like it would with the regular software.

I'm thinking this has to be possible, any help would be apprecitated.

you may need to load avic first then load igo but tomtom and garmin can not use the bt and ipod afaik

Hi everyone,

Searching the forum yesterday I found this topic

http://www.avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19346

It shows a new hack for Igo to run it with any maps withou Launcher.

I tried it and it really works. For you guys that just needed to change Avic to run another map it's the best solution.

GUGA

hmmm...

"One important note: you can use any iGO 8.0 maps, but not 8.3! "

Are you saying you put the new 8.3 version maps on your avic using this method?

No....I'm using igo 8.0

GUGA

is 2008.4 the latest maps for NA?

I cannot seem to find 2008.4 maps for usa and canada.

A few questions, where do you find IGo8.0 2008.4 map of NA for download and how do you install it?

Also when using Garmin with LeedLauncher2.0 I loose my signal when I drive away, I noticed that mgreinke said it works for him? Tomtom works ok and Igo works ok but not Garmin. I don't think I'm the only one with these questions any help appreciated.

Can anyone tell me how to remap the button which takes you to the leetlauncher menu? I don't like how it's currently the down button. I would much rather have all buttons have the normal functionality and have it so when i press and hold the 'menu' button it then takes me to leetlauncher.

Ideally I'd want to remap three buttons. Pressing the job wheel will play/pause music instead of voice commmands. Holding menu will go to leetlauncher. Holding Map will go to voice commands.

I couldn't fine any posts about this and I didnt see anything in the leetlauncher files where it specifies the down button's binding.

any new yet on a update for leetlauncher?

All I want for XMas is for my Garmin to work properly Santa Leetcoder, and OK maybe a little update.

Merry XMas

Can some send me a PM on how to set up Tom Tom? I have the maps, just need to know the magic steps.

Thanks.

So, I downloaded LeetLauncher 2 and played with it a bit. From what little I could tell, I have a few questions:

• 
  [*:70twyu6m] It seems as if bluetooth phones no longer connect... Is this supposed to happen? Is there a workaround?
   
  [*:70twyu6m] MSND? Is it being used? I couldn't find any options to control it from the iGo software setup screen, but i *did* notice that you can enable msnd in sys.txt. Is that value meaningful?
   
  [*:70twyu6m] There is no on-screen button to control audio input (radio,satellite,whatnot). Is that something that can be configured back in? Or was that one of the changes Pioneer made to iGo?

Anyways, thanks for all the work towards allowing us to use any software we like!!
