what is the link for the absolute NEWEST version of this all-in-one mod?

it's in the first post as it always has been. The file dates are all shown on the FTP as well. All major versions are at the same level now. If I make any changes, the NoClock version is the first one updated on the FTP, but the others soon follow.

Hey, CMH,

 

In an effort to save some disk space in my already taxed unit, I deleted all of the branded POI's from your version DATA.ZIP as I already had the latest version already in the MY Flash Disk/apl2/iGo/ui_pioneer folder since this is what seems to be defaulted to anyway. I guess for those who do not add the Branding.zip POI's to their units then it looks like it would work the same, yes?

There is an updated version on VBLUE42's post that has some updated POI icons, namely the fast food ones and alot (not all of course) are showing up now and in the proper subcategories! It really helped when I updated the maps to the 2008.04 versions and then put in the updated 2008.10 POI's.

 

Thanx again for all of the hard work!!

Bud

I guarantee you every imaginable restaurant/store is already in my data.zip and only needs the references put into poi.icons to show up. Size-wise, I deleted several unused files from the data.zip and kept it at 10MB even with all the voices and POI files. I did add a few fast food manually, but most people using my data.zip are not going to even know how to add 2008.4 maps or 2008.10 POIs so it is pointless to waste any more time adding entries. I make no mention of these changes because newbies get confused too easily as it is and I don't need a thousand PMs asking how to install maps/POIs. Please keep branded POI and speedcam database questions in their own threads to not confuse the newbies coming to my thread for a simple, all-in-one solution.

Just installed the package.

 

Most of my gripes with the original UI have been taken care of.

 

Great work, thanks!

just installed with no problem, incredible upgrade, thx

I have to agree with the rest. This is a great new look and updates. The brake warning is gone, the nav sys functions always work, even when in motion. It's great.

 

Small issue. Can I move the large (which I also like) speed in the bottom right corner just a little to the right and make the 'mph' much smaller, or just an 'm'? This goes for the elevation number as well. A little to the right? Also the clock on the bottom line. Can it move a little to the right? From where I sit, the bezel cuts off the view just enough to often miss the first digit.

 

Also, is there a way to make it more sensitive to street names in 3D? In the default 3D mode, no street names appear most of the time. You have to be on top of it before it gives a name, if at all. I love the address number feature though. And having a MSN icon across the top is super. Thanks.

I already have MANY different versions to fit individual needs. Nobody else on here has posted multiple variations of their mods as it is time consuming. If one of the pre-mades doesn't fit your needs, you will need to learn to make your own mods. Moving clocks and speedlimits are the simplest changes to make, however they may interfere with other items once moved.

 

Changing zoom level and tilt angle has a major impact on streetnames showing up.

The colorscheme selected can also affect visibility. To change tilt and zoom, turn smartzoom off and tilt controls on, then adjust to your liking. I also have the font size larger from stock pioneer to make the names easier to read. If the street is still small in the distance, there may not be room for the streetname to show in the same space.

I agree with cmh928. you should customize if you need something that you needed.

I am processing to make different voice for 900BT bacically ogg and wav files at the moment that fits for me.(I don't like sam voice at the beginning).

I have been following this thread since it was 4 pages long and have used each of the auto-installers you have made when they are updated. Every one has installed perfectly and for a non-code editor such as myself, you have been very helpful.

 

No, I am not buttering you up to ask for some little tweak or adjustment I want made. I have read the thread and adjusted the tilt, colors and replaced the red car with my Jeep all from reading this thread.

 

I did have a comment though, and I am sure it may be something I screwed up. I downloaded the newest AIO from 4-27 and the Big Clock data.zip. I dropped the BC data.zip into the AIO before installing and the did the auto install. Love the bigger clock but I noticed the speed limit sign covers part of the clock. The way I installed may be the problem so I re-installed the AIO with the included data.zip and will install the auto install Big Clock tonight to see if that fixes it.

 

Also, since you guys are so good, does anyone know if it possible to have a button that will go straight to the back up camera from the nav screen? I want this to be the first "coding" thing I try if its at all possible.

 

Thanks again for all your hard work. We people that can't do it are very appreciative.

Interesting. The speed limit and turn restrictions just clear the clock on mine. I did drop them another 5 pixels to be safe, though. Are you for sure running the original Pioneer Tahoma fonts and not possibly a dumpystig version? I will post the BigClock changes on the FTP now.

 

There's no way to call any part of the A/V system from the map screen other than the current source that Pioneer has overlayed on it already. Hooking up the backup light wire either to the lights or a toggle switch is your quickest way to that screen.

Posted May 06, 2009 · 04:11 UTC#387

Ok, how about getting rid of the 'image may be revesed' message when in reverse? I don't know why Pioneer (or anyone else for that matter) thinks we have to be reminded about the same thing over and over and over and...

Thanks again.

Nope, the only fonts I would have would have come from one of your "All in ones", it's the only thing I am qualified to install :D . I tried reinstalling the AIO by itself and then the Big Clock auto install tonight but did not have a chance to drive it and find out if that worked. Thanks for the info about the camera though, sure, the first thing I think I will do and it's impossible. :roll:

Refreshed all the data.zip and Data&Voice-Auto files on the FTP. Only changes are to spacings on the BigClock version and new clip-plane and sys.txt settings to improve road label visibility on all versions..

If this is your biggest gripe with the unit, consider it a Godsend. Nobody has killed the Nav warning or the image reversed warning in over a year of hacking. I wouldn't hold your breath.

Posted May 06, 2009 · 05:29 UTC#391

Thanks for the reply. I have to say I love the other hacks and fixes. For the most part, they're great. I know I couldn't do it alone, so it's all been a great help. Thanks you guys that take the time to figure these things out. I appreciate it muchly. Harvey G.

Hey, been away from the forum for awhile, came on here, got my maps updated and used your installer to replace my really outdated mods from October. Great to see how far things have come. I had one issue with your installer, more specifically with the Image.res file. Your iGo UI mods, work WONDERFULLY, however the Image.res theme used in the installer caused my iPod to not register on bootup every single time. This happened consistently for about a week. I would have to disconnect and reconnect the iPod in order to get it to work. I booted into test mode and put back the stock Image.res and now everything is perfect again. Just something to consider. Not sure if anyone else has had this issue, maybe it's an issue with my iPod. Either way if anyone has this problem, try putting back the stock Image.res and you might have some luck.

 

Overall, EXCELLENT work on the iGo UI mods and the new voice. I appreciate the hard work that you and everyone else involved has put into this to make the F-series better than Pioneer did. Though, in the coming months I'll probably upgrade to whatever else Pioneer has in store to show off at the 2009 Roadshow in June.

Newbie here....

 

I installed the new 2008.4 maps, buildings, and POIs, followed by this Cmh mod. I manually copied in the mod, including the building, lang, voice, license, speed, scheme, speedcam, data.zip and sys.txt, as well as a couple of font files files. I also have the modified EZRider.exe However, I still have the male voice, but worse than that I have zero spoken street names. It is not even a partial street name as some have mentioned. I just get the voice of "In a quarter mile turn left". Street names are displayed on the map, but are not spoken at all. From other posts, it seems that the male voice is supposed to be totally gone. Is that correct? Honestly, at this point, I don't care if it's male or female (I'll worry about that later), but I'm wondering if it's the new maps causing the problem, or if I missed something in the Cmh928 mod that is causing the problem.

 

Thanks for any help.

go to language settings and choose samantha, the reason why the male voice doesn't say street names is because it's not TTS

Okay... Changed the voice to Samantha (TTS) , but I still don't get any street names. Just "Turn right", "In a half mile turn left", "Exit Highway", etc. The street names do show up on the display, but no TTS at all. At one road I think she may have said "two" when the road was Highway 211, but I'm not certain of that. Maybe I should try putting the old map data back on and see if that corrects the voice? Does that have anything to do with TTS?

Is there any way to change the default zoom level on the map? I like it zoomed a little closer in, but even after I manually zoom, the screen automatically zooms back out to an apparent default level after 5-10 seconds.
