It's already on rapidshare ready to download with the kph voices (check out my post on Page 2). It's only missing GTIMatt's change for the 100kph sign which I will upload tomorrow. It's based on his original data.zip so other requested mods won't be in there yet.

 

yes i know, but i will just wait till your update tomorrow to get the 100kph sign correct as well...

 

Good job mate... appreciate your efforts

Hey Matt I would like to use your Mod on my F500BT as I really like what you have done to the Map screen. I don't much care about the speed cam stuff, not that its not useful but I live in the US and their aren't many around where I live. That brings me to my question, since I live in the US will this mod cause problems? How do I go about changing everything to miles per hour?

 

Thank You.

The cam stuff is turned on in the data.zip but if you have no camera's around then you wouldn't notice, you can make a small change to the file to turn them off.

 

I live in the UK so we use miles per hour too so you shouldn't have to make any changes for that.

Cheers Matt, I've changed that code and will test tomorrow.

 

I can also confirm that the kph audio files work great on my fake 40kph speed camera at the end of the street. It's great to have a spoken warning rather than beeping. Thanks for your help getting it working.

 

Also you mentioned this in an earlier post "The traffic screen is called up by pressing the icon next to the current street name" What icon should I be looking for? Do I have to have a route selected to get the TMC icon?

 

I'm currently pulling my car to bits to ground the handbrake, much to the amusement of my wife who thinks I'm getting far to obsessed with my car stereo. My unit was installed professionally before I found this site and having looked at all the wires hanging out the back of the unit I've decided to just do the software/handbrake mod. At least the handbrake wire is easy to remove and ground.

 

The is an icon on the very bottom right of the screnn, if you look closely it's a road with a red arrow on it. If you press that then it should give you the traffic screen.

Hey newbie here....I love this data zip. can you tell me how to hide the battery icon. its overlapping the icon

Hey GTI I'v been using your mod for only a day and I'm very impressed with the clean look of it.

I would like to know if I can change the blue boxes color to an orange only because it would match my dash (you know the nissan orange) If not it doesn't matter its just something i thought would look cool.

Also do I have to turn on the red cam mod because I have 2 by me and it didn't do anything to warn me.

Thanx in advance.

This is awesome!!

What do I need to change in order for it to work with North American standards? i.e; MPH on the speedo, (maybe a "speed Limit" sign)if I tweak this part of the code with some U.S. stuff

;<> Start


;<> End

, 12/12 hour format on the clock, month/day/yr calendar format,(probably U.S. satellite dependant so this is probably a null point) ...and is the latest version of your DATAZIP inclusive of all U.S. warning sounds?

I want to incorporate my current speedcam warning box mod to this which is a bigger red .bmp that pops up in the middle of the screen. Shoud be an easy rewrite of the "speedcam_ui" file into yours.

Otherwise I love this!

 

Thanx in advance for the help

As you would say.."Cheers" :D

The redlight warnings aer working fine for me. Do you see the visible warning as you approach them? You need to have speedcam warnings turned on for this to work.

 

You could make the boxes whatever color you like if you are comfortable with basic imaging editing.

Most of the stuff is dependant on your setup so if your settings use AM/PM and mm/dd then my mod should display them like that. I use mph here so that side of it is fine and I know others here using my mods using km/h and they all display properly.

 

Yeah, you can just tweak that bit of code to play about with the speed limit display, I've seen others with US style speed limit signs but I think the area I have used would be too small to fit a graphic like that in but you never know!

 

At the moment there are only sounds for the UK limits which are 30,40 etc and I know the US limits end in 5 so you would get some funny warnings either for 5mph higher or lower than the US limit. I'll look at adding US ones in the future but I did upload the sounds I used for the basis of mine earlier in the thread and they include mph for limits ending in 5 (up to 65) if you wanted to have a go yourself.

Hiya, Matt. Seems okay! Will the speed limit only display in the lower left when under way and when the known posted limit is being sent to the unit??

Thanx again for all of your astute efforts!

Cheers,

Bud

There just has to be a known speed limit, you do not have to be moving for it to display.

I lost my ability to edit the cams that I had in my previous iterration(s). I dont get the sound (barking dog which I changed to a laser (!alert5) and now I don't get that warning nor the ability to edit-turn on/off cams as before.

What do I need to do to enable these??

Where is this code so I can turn mine back on?? I need to be able to edit my cams as I have a buttload of cams already.

I can see in the new version on your DATA.ZIP wher you made substantial coding addition to the Common/UI/Speedcam_ui file which has some bearing on this I'm sure.

Thanx for the help!!

So far I am liking it. One question about the date time stamp. It is showing day/month/year.

Even though I have my regional settings as month/day/year.

I also had to put the original data.zip back on so I could edit a stop light camera.

Keep up the good work.

yes i know, but i will just wait till your update tomorrow to get the 100kph sign correct as well...

 

Wiske80 it's all ready to download now with the updated code for 100kph. http://rapidshare.com/files/213722048/transportm.ttf in the same folder as the data.zip

 

Just going for a drive to test my software bypass and the new speed limit sign.

Posted Mar 27, 2009 · 07:08 UTC#65

I have tested the Mod and its great!! No bugs everything works very well!!!

 

Right now i am upgrading the maps to 2008.10.

 

Only change i am waiting for is to get the original mod of matt for the km/h warnings.

Or does lacehim used the new one allready?? (push button next direction, put in new direction.

Posted Mar 27, 2009 · 09:16 UTC#66

Matt, can we update the kph version with your new direction code? Then I think they will be the same and everyone should be happy.

Do you mean add the call the find address screen when pressing the 2nd instruction box?

Posted Mar 27, 2009 · 12:30 UTC#68

Matt,

Yes. I started with your original data.zip, and I think you modified it later. I'm just not sure how or where. People keep asking for it to be incorporated into the kph version.

Posted Mar 27, 2009 · 14:42 UTC#69

Newbie here....I've figured out how to put the modz on my unit. But what im having trouble is MATTs data zip. Matt i love your data.zip. but im tryn to do the software mod for the parking_break_speed. I change it both to 128 and 256....and when i restart my 500bt, the loading..please wait(something like that...having a mental lapse) but it doesnt go away.

 

Also can a icon be put on the navigation map for bluetooth dial pad and/or contacts.

Im learning this coding thing slowly but surely.

Posted Mar 27, 2009 · 14:54 UTC#70

How can I turn back on the ability to modify the cameras?????? What did you change in the code????

Thanx,

Bud

Posted Mar 27, 2009 · 16:42 UTC#71

Does this Mod work well for the US Version of the F900BT? Is it recommended to do this Mod? Sorry I am new to the F900 (although I just fixed it via testmode lol - kept resetting - now it works). I want to try this but I thought I would get some opinions first...

Posted Mar 27, 2009 · 18:30 UTC#72

Well, I got the camera stuff sorted out **fingers crossed** and I will drive it around and report back :mrgreen:

Cool, if you let me know what you did I can incorporate it into my mods so other US owners don't get the same problem if they run my mods.

Posted Mar 27, 2009 · 18:58 UTC#74

I figured out why my date was showing wrong. On the screen it was dd/mm/yyyy.

In my regional settings it was what I originally had. mm/dd/yyyy.

While in the drive thru lane today I changed regional settings to yyyy/mm/dd.

Went back out to map and it was what I changed it to. Changed it back in settings to mm/dd/yyyy and then back to map. Once again it was dd/mm/yyyy. So I thought I would try changing in regional settings to what was showing on the map. When i went back to map it was showing what I originally wanted. mm/dd/yyyy.

So it looks like those 2 are backwards in settings. I tried the others and they were correct.

Posted Mar 27, 2009 · 19:43 UTC#75

So far, so good. But the pressing of the camera icon does not cancel the warning. I think it is right here in the 800_480_speedcam file:


;<> Start
;

;<> End


It is commented out to disable it. I will un-comment it and try it.
