actually, I think a dedicated voice command button would be great also

pushing in the volume button VERY commonly results in accidentally changing tracks or zoom....

After installing Mavs mods I've been doing a little tweaking - IMO the black font/white glow on the clock/speed info/elevation were sometimes hard to interpret on the maps at particular times, so I've tried loads of colour combos.

This works great for me, on both day and night maps:

color=#FFFFFF (white)

[glow]color2=#0000CD (blue 3/medium blue)

If anyone tries it please let me know what you think.

Ever try pushing the volume knob while driving? It sucks and half the time it changes the track or the zoom. Just don't feel like pulling over to make a hands free call kinda defeats the purpose.

Hi,

I did exactly as written for the mods : TERMINATE ROUTE/POI SELECT MOD + MUTE GUIDANCE.

However, the avic keeps rebooting.

Those are the only 2 mods i've added to the original data.zip provided by pioneer...

Any idea why it keeps rebooting ?

Thanks for the help).

Well, after doing this mod I thought all was well, but I'm having problems with the map guidance - the maps stay in same position on screen, but the arrow moves along the route until it disappears off the screen! this happens in both 2D and 3D.

The only tweaks I've done to Mavericks Data.zip hack is to change font size/glowsize/colours on the clock, multi info window and speed/limit display.

Can anyone help me with this?

Cheers, Mark

BTW, it's a 500 Euro mpdel

Mark - The follow off screen action is enabled if you were to touch the map icon. To clear the action all you'd need to do is hit your map button to clear the cursor. You'll notice that a cursor is placed at the original ponit of your arrow. The cursor stays stationary but the arrow follows the road and eventually goes off the screen.

Here's the part that's in the zip, it's not only in Mav's zip but was on all our units in stock form.

Hope this helps.

Thanx for quick reply, I will try this in a few hours on my way to work. Gotta get some sleep now, up in 4 hours. I'll let you know if this solves it.

I would like to thank Maverickster for all the work he has done regarding these MODS. I installed all of them on a 90BT and it works great.

This may be asking to much but can you make a separate screen pop up that only has the MPH on it and have the font about five times as large as it is now. Would be nice to have it with route or without route set. This would take the place of a head up display I was going to buy for the speed.

If this is not possible can you make a button that when touched will show the MPH (5 times as large) and place it at the center of the map screen and then go back to original position when you hit the button again.

I am asking this because I am an old guy.

Thanks again for the MODS.

N-S-E-W thanks, you were right, prob solved!

But I can't find anything in the manual, surely it should describe this 'feature'?

Anyway, thanks again.

Here's a list of the tweaks I've made to Mavericksters DATA.zip hacks, just to get my 500 looking how I want it:

- Altered font/glow colours on clock, speed/speed limit, GPS altitude and route info box. Font #FFFFFF (white), glow 0000CD (blue 3).

- Moved GPS altitude to bottom left of screen, this enables Speedcam warning box to be fully displayed; original speed/speed limit covered most of Speedcam box.

- Moved speed/speed limit to top left of screen, same level as clock, much easier to read up there and less clutter.

- Moved GPS button higher and further right, midway between next turn and route info box; this makes button much easier to press and register.

Now I want to make this button slightly bigger, does anyone know how I can do this?

So far this is looking really good, and I'm also getting more of an understanding of how codes work, although I'm still only a novice.

Love this forum and it's contributors, all this info has kept me amused for hours - days even! LOL.

Thanks for your help, in particular Mav for his original DATA.zip, all I've done is play around with his mods.

Hey Mav, do you know how I can alter your code so that GPS altitude and Speed/limit will display on both in-route and out-of-route map screens?

I've moved the Speedcam warning box and now have GPS altitude to left of arrow (in 3D mode) and Speed/limit to the right. Now there is nothing that will cover these displays so I want to have them there on all screens/maps.

I am trying to figure this out on my own, but it's got me stumped! Any help would be great.

Cheers,

Mark

geeze your avic looks awsome... so noob here... is all I do is take your data zip and replace mine with it and I will have all your mods????(i saved my whole flash disc already)

well?

If I need to do the software bypass, do I only need to change the pioneer.ini bypass in Mav's data.zip file just like I would for a normal bypass? Does anyone suggest the hardware bypass more than the hardware/software bypass with these mods?

Hey, is it my DATA.zip your after? If so, you're welcome, but I aint got a clue how you can access it, I'm struggling to even post a pic on here LOL

no sorry.. I will use Mav's...

well maybe I will... mph on top would be cool please post it.... if you can post it thanks... I would love to know how you guys move stuff around and change colors and make things bigger I read almost every post since August here and I guess the ones I skipped were the ones that showed exactly how you guys do it

Here's a pic of my 500.......

please post your data.zip

Or... post your changes. I use a different Data.zip and would like to add this into my current one.

Thanks for the great job on this.

basstoy and bwolfe, glad you like my tweaks, as I said I started with Mavs' DATA.zip hacks/mods and just played around with things to suit my preferences. I will post my codes for navigatemap_800_480 and speedcam_800_480 together with the .bmp for my altered speedcam box.

I'm pretty new to all this, it took me ages to figure out how to attach the previous pic, so please be patient, I'll have it here as soon as I can.
