Leet I got I problem while running Igo....the only way to go back to the launcher is exiting Igo....Just to let you know...

 

Edit ****

 

Figured it out....the commands are in the keybind.txt in DATA.zip....edited and changed the function of the button to MINIMIZE now I can go between AVIC and IGO8 as i please.....reallllly nice!

 

Tutorial

 

1. Download this file

http://rapidshare.com/files/155047885/sys.txt.html

and copy it to the the My Flash Disk/APL2/igo

It will change the AVIC GPS port so we can use the GPS in another application

 

2. Download this file

http://rapidshare.com/files/155049672/DATA.ZIP.html

it's the DATA.ZIP file modified to change the function of the MENU button, it will only minimize the IGO application, and copy it to the SD card/Igo8

 

3. Load up leet's launcher

 

4. Run AVIC

 

5. When you want to use the GPS just go to main menu and press MENU it will bring up the launcher click in the IGO....

 

6. While in Igo just click the MENU to return to avic.

 

7. There you go....enjoy...even wheel controls are ok now....

 

*** IMPORTANT ****

Use this sequence, otherwise it won't, you need to load the avic before igo.

Good job figuring this out , I was about to post the same fix bout keybinding.

Hi Awesome Work,

Tomtom works great, but i know this is a stupid question but the time is incorrect and i can't seem to find anywhere in Tomtom to adjust it, anyone else have any ideas

Thanks

1) Does this work on all F series units including the F500?

2) Does this different media player increase the size of the usable filesystem? I'm thinking of portable HDs connected via USB.

I am actually working on this right now. My goal is to have an mp3 player that support a playlist system similar to Itune. With this I hope to get an external hard drive to work similar to an ipod equivalent. Thus, it will support id3, visualization, artist, album, and playlist. It is cheaper to have a hard drive than an ipod. This is in progress right now.. but i can't guaranteed how long it will take me to code something like this.

This should work on all F series unit.

will the sys.txt file do any harm if SD card is not present?

The original Igo8 software won't work.

Original meaning Factory default Avic maps wont work if i upload this file but dont boot with SD card in?

Also for TOmTom there are no files in sounds or map settings folders, do we need to copy tomtom files into those?

Does the launcher support images other than bmp? It would be nice to see if we can animate the icons without using too many system resources..

Wow...this thing is great. You have done some awesome things and I see myself using this from now on. Gonna buy me an 8 or 16GB SD card just to have this on. Get full TomTom maps and hopefully you get the Garmin working.

My suggestion, the AV source thing is a tad small...increase size, maybe?

Would be great to have a full working launcher like this, figure out how to run 3.5" hdd via usb and external power and store mp3's and vids on that. Would be an amazing unit then.

Keep up the great work bro!

That audio player is only temporary, new audio/video player coming soon.

wait so should we be using tomtom7 files or tomtom8 files?

TomTom 7

ahhh no wonder i was getting the "no maps" crap.

Wow, I've done screwed up big time. I was curious on what would happen if I replace the iGo folder with the iGo8 patched folder. I made a back up of the iGo folder, renamed iGo8 to iGo, renamed LeetIGO8.exe to EZRIDER.EXE and place it in the APL2 folder. The system started IGO 8 and seem to be loading fine, but stopped at the menu. No harm done (I thought) as I had the backup iGo folder. I placed it back and the system started up fine, but now I no longer get a satellite signal. I have done a search for a hard reset but no go. Any Ideas anyone?

Leet,

With the new audio player are you going to update the support for Ipod touch 2.1 firmware? Pioneer currently does not support 2.1 and I believe that's why I have to reset my Ipod 3 times to keep it stable.

Thanks for all the hard work!

Let your car sit outside for a while to pick up the gps again. I dont think there is anything wrong with your GPS, it probably lost its pinpoint location to the satellites.

Not yet. New audio/video player will not support IPOD yet. However, on the bright side the player will support more file format: AC3,Divx,Xvid,MP3,MS-MPEG4-v3,OGG,MPEG,3GP,ASF,AVI,OGM,QuickTime. Will support M3U playlist format. Who need ipod support right? In the future release, I will try get IPOD to work.

Thanks for you help Leetcoder, I had it outside on for the past hour but no go. The funny thing is your launcher with Igo8 picks up the signal just fine. I have a backup of the whole Flash disk an am now debating if I should just delete it and replace it with the original.

UPDATE: Redeleted the iGo file and put a fresh backup of the original iGo file in its place and its working now.

I also am having a problem. igo launches but avic doesn't. also when I press a/v it launches but doesn't close. everytime I press menu it goes between launcher and a/v.

on launcher, pressing avic brings me back to a/v. av ran really sluggish. I think it may be my fault cause I was trying to run tomtom with locked map. igo ran fine when it was all loaded though but avic wouldn't launch.

is this why I need the sys file? also no one said system would be ok if sd was removed if I upload that file.

A/V is temporary, the new A/V is coming out later. It should fix these sluggish problem.

I realized what the avic problem was...I wasn't waiting long enough for it to load.

so once it finished how do we get to main avic menu? when I press menu the launcher comes up.

to be honest guys.... why not just take it easy with testing it and just hold off... it's clearly a beta.. and leetcoder is obviously working on a future release... don't you think his time is better spent updating the software ..versus troubleshooting?

The whole point of a beta is to give feedback of apparent issues. I dont think anyone is trying to bother him with their problems. I think he is benefiting from all the end-user response.

Yeah, I can't wait. I understand your not going to have iPod support right yet, but MP3 support. Is that via SD, USB, or CD/DVD? Or all maybe.

I would like to eventually take a 3.5" HDD and hook it up USB and give external power to it and just have my MP3's/Vids on taht, so USB support would be awesome.

This is very true rock99rock. Beta is all about giving feedback to the creator in the event bugs the creator doesn't know, actually exist. This way, said creator can address these issues sooner and spend more time working on a kick ass launcher.
