Yeah in the data.zip link is the real license file that you need to copy over.

 

Also if your MSN is not working you need to press the reset button.

 

I have a Pioneer license file in my folder already should i delete that and replace with the generic one?

 

Also anyone know what happened to the tilt function in 3d, my map is kinda flat and was hoping to find some buildings here in NC.

edit: tilt solved by tapping screen :oops:

Cigga - I'm in NC too, there are a couple of buildings in downtown Raleigh... look for the Clarion Hotel - it's a cylindrical building on Morgan St I believe.

I couldn't find any buildings in Durham or Chapel Hill, didn't think to look in Charlotte. I'd like to see more buildings in the triangle area, but for being a smaller city I'm surprised there's anything there at all.

This is a very good tutorial and I like the way my 900bt is set up now. Thanks for this post.

You should see quite a few there. Try using a different color scheme. Default ones make buildings (not landmarks) very transparent. One of the Real View ones should be good.

 

This of course assumes that you have both hacked EzRider, a license file, and .3DC files for California...

I was driving through Alexandria,VA and only seen one building, it looked very generic and not like the ones you show from Chi. Where is this Real View scheme you speak of?

About eight or so threads down - titled "Color Schemes"

are the license files specific to a state? i got the license file from the other thread... and i checked the .3dc files... seems like i have every file for every state in the country.... ill try the color scheme thing...

License files could be tied to a specific kind of file, but the ones posted here should work with anything...

I got a "device.nng" file when I unzipped, what does it do/where does it go? First time I've seen it...my current files don't have it.

Thanks! Can't wait to try it!

I finally have 3D buildings in California. Thanks for all your hard work everyone!

Any special things needed? I followed the instruction on the first post, but I'm unable to see any building except landmarks even in downtown san francisco. The only part I didn't do is the color scheme mentioned, which I can't found any thread talking about that.... will that thread be lost due to server down a couple days ago?

Oh BTW, does anyone lost the voice guidance after installed this mod? Will that be this mod not compatible with F500BT?

 

********** Update **************

After some trial-and-error, I figured out why there is no voice guidance after installing this mod (well, still no 3D buildings though), and I think this is F500BT specific. The following lines at the beginning of the Sys.txt has to be changed for F500BT:

 

From

 

[device]

type="PIONEER746UC"

 

to

 

[device]

type="PIONEER749UC"

 

Hope this help anyone using the F500BT.

Just a heads up in case you're not using the grounded mute wire hack, the data.zip's ui_pioneer/800_480/ui/navigatemap_800_480.ui is missing a few "USE_SEPARATED_SAFETY_MODE=0" in the buttons. This means they work fine when you're parked but stop working in motion.

 

Buttons: Compass/delete route, nav voice mute/unmute, street numbers, street name.

 

Check lines: 6, 18, 19, 35, 36, 90 (I think the last one had USE_SEPARATED_SAFETY_MODE=0 but forgot a space between it and a ' )

 

My copy attached for reference/diffing.

I am so confused. I did the backup of the factory software to my sd and backed it up on my computer.

 

I downloaded the files from the three links and now I dont know what to do with them. Do i copy and paste them to the locations described on the sd then insert it in the vehicle? Or do i insert the card in the vehicle and then paste them?

Posted Mar 01, 2009 · 21:38 UTC#42

do i extract the building.zip file first then transfer the files or can i can i just transfer the whole file as one. Also does the voice regognition not work after this hack like said in previous posts...

Posted Mar 01, 2009 · 22:33 UTC#43

Nevermind about my previous post. I searched and searched and then finally thought i had it figured out so i tried it and it all worked out well.

 

Thanks

so does that hack have the mph thing where it tells you how fast the speed limit is. and also does it have the speed cam hack also..

Posted Mar 04, 2009 · 21:26 UTC#45

I love this hack, but have a small problem. My screen is now white and seems washed out, is there anyway to change the color on the map screen?

Posted Mar 13, 2009 · 23:16 UTC#46

i would like to use my data file with the sys.txt file in the first post. Is this possible, what were the changes to the sys.txt file? Thank you

Hi, I followed the instructions as provided and it appears to be working? I was driving around a newer subdivision and no buildings showed up. I suspect once I go more into the city (Dallas) the buildings will show. A couple of questions in the meantime, one, there seems to be a lag in time when I turn corners. It takes a few seconds to reflect the new turn/direction. Second, I saw on someone's post pictures of icons of grocery stores, etc. I did not see any. Should I? Finally, when I copied the files, should I have unzipped them on my computer and then copied, or just copy the actual zip file. Thanks!!

I installed my f700bt last night and this morning put the mod for the US speed limits and "your speed" mods together... nice. I later did this mod and found that it overwrote the mod that I had put together previously put together (because data.zip was over written).

 

I really want the 3D buildings, so I'll use this as my default. I'd like to make a couple modifications and am looking for some guidance.

 

First, I want to remove all buttons from the left side of the screen. Where are all of those set at? I'll just comment the code to remove it. This will allow me to put the speed zone stuff back in place in that location and give me a little more map space while taking away a little clutter.

 

Second, how do I set the default voice volume to mute? I don't mind being able to turn it back on, but I don't want the default volume on at all.

 

Thanks!

How would I apply just the 3D buildings to my F90?

I am using Mav's mods along with Boris' speedcam mods and bigger .bmp window (I love you guys :)) and I want to leave the mods as is but just bring up the 3D buildings. I am in the L.A. area and these would be nice when I go into the city.

Thanx!

Bud :D
