Now my AVIC is modded!!! Amazing! Finally I can turn that God damn voice guidance off! Thanks!

CMH...Newbie here...got it downloaded and will install this evening once I get a bigger SD card to do the back up. My question is...I only see 2D in the pics...Does it have 3D capability? And do the speed cameras work every where?...how does that work...I live in Chattanooga TN. Thank you!

Did you have your avic installed in a jet when you took those screen shots? One of the screenshot shows your MPH as over 700 and another shows it as over 600.

Yah I think his was installed in an F-16 haha jk... it might just be an error or something...

ahhh

I think I see my problem . . .

I rezipped the image.res file in zip format instead of .7z - I'll try it this evening after work.

Thanks a bunch!!!!

Also, I noticed that it will be sluggish on screen taps and it will spool the same spoken command about 3 times.

I haven't had any problems with her repeating herself or anything. If you rush the bootup and start adjusting volume settings before about 2 minutes in, it can act like that. same goes for even trying to adjust brightness. She is supposed to say those phrases when tested now and they can be changed in the .ini. I'm still working on her, and having her say those things makes it easier to see if I make progress.

 

As far as the corrupt zip file, I just downloaded the copy from TTS folder on the FTP and made some changes to the ini without unzipping it. It re-saved just fine. Are you using the latest 7zip?

You were right...I am too impatient.

Before I got this post I had already re-d'loaded it and did exactly this

I am using WIN.RAR not 7ZIP and now all is okay. I changed the voice default in the file to say something more pleasant and I changed the speed warning sound to "Slow Down a**hole. You are going too fast" You shoulda seen the look on my wifes face when I was tooling down the freeway and this "warning" came through the speakers at 600 watts!!

So basically, you dropped the TTS rate from 50 to 40 and added some rules in the .ini file I can see. There is now an "audio" file in your latest version that the previous iterations did not have which has all of the spoken commands you eluded to in your previous post. Is this file supposed to unzip itself and get placed into the proper directory or do I need to manually manipulate this? Do the new audio files reside in the root or do they end up in the DATA.ZIP "audio" file??

Thanx again for all of the hard work!!

That is funny. Would you mind showing me that. Im a newbie and would like those spoken words.

Open up these files in this order on the new MITACAP file that you downloaded:

"MITACAP/APL2/iGo/Content/Voice/Voice_TTS-nua-eng-us-f1.zip/info.ini", and you will see this:

Whereas the conditions with the "XXX.XXX.XXX" are what you can change (overspeed and testsound).

Some of the others are changeable but unless you REALLYknow what you are doing just stick to these two. Make the words short and comprehensible. Make sure to save them on the SD and then load them back in on bootup just like before. All that you need to do is just boot because the newer file always overwrites the former.

Have fun!

The first all in one zip that you posted on 4-5 worked perfectly! But, after you made the updates yesterday, I posted the new all in one and now I get the reboot problem. Everytime I try enter a destination then "route" it my system reboots. If I am on my map page (with no route) and try to click on any one of the top icons, my system reboots.

Do you know what the problem might be? Do you think you can post your original all in one zip file for the mean time?

Thanks a bunch. These mods are really great!

Newbie here....

I just installed this mod this morning and it's ammmmazing!! Thank you so much. I have been following the boards and everything was very conufusing until I found this. So thanks again...

One quick question though. When I have the map screen up there doesn't seem to be any names with the roads until I have passed them by. Is this something I can change? Thanks!

thanks for all your help!!!!

total brainfart - recompliling image.res as 7z then renaming (within 7zip) worked perfectly!!!!

let the customizing begin

OK say I try this... and I don't like it and wanna go back... I have my data zip backed up and my whole flash disk actually... but this one seams to do alot more all automatically.... what do I go go back to.. I know the sys.txt and the data zip will be easy.. but the ezrider and other stuff... how do I restore that?? just like I do the data zip and sys.txt.. if you can put a list on what files are modded so I can always revert back... or if I ever wanna try a new data zip... thanks.. and I hope you guys understand what I am trying to say.

take your 1.6G worth of data and do the reverse of what you did to back it up, let it overwrite all files. Themes and such will still be there, but the important bits will be overwritten.

awww geeze... it this the only way???? damn.... I better like this one...... if I were to have this mod on my 90bt, and . say for instance would want to go back to mavericksters or the original pioneer one is just changing the data zip and sys.txt gonna be enough?

You can drop whatever data.zip and sys.txt in it you like. Ezrider will be happy regardless. The whole point of the hacked ezrider is to allow 3d buildings and foreign maps.

The only files you need to restore if you don't like the mod are apl\image.res, apl2\igo\data.zip and sys.txt. Also, the system sounds under data\sounds if you want the loud ones again. The other files I added just won't be used, but won't harm anything being on the avic's drive.

Street labels depend on zoom level and colorscheme used. I use Easy Day and Monopoly Night with smartzoom on. 200ft min, 400ft max. auto restore.

It's not the file. Download a fresh copy and extract using 7zip onto a freshly formatted SD-card. Winzip can cause errors like this.

Make sure to set all options under all NaviSettings submenus before using mapping.

Do not unzip. Leave it intact. This file will be overwritten every time you enter testmode unless you drop the new copy into the mitacap\apl2\igo\content\voice on your testmode SD card. That is how to install it. Enter testmode, wait til the animation is done and you see the green box. Reboot.

it says to zip the file onto my sd card. i have a mac and i know they have problems zipping the data.zip. will i still be able to upload it?

Have a friend with a PC who knows how to unzip files do it for you. 7zip doesn't exist for Macs. Winrar may work or may cause problems. Many mac users have problems installing mods to the avic.

There is a unix version with a mac interface that may or may not work. http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/19139

i would like to remove the software hack from your data file. How can I do that? thanks

Why? It does no harm other than preventing "brake wire improperly connected" messages.

From the factory you get that message at 16 Km/h and I changed it to 255 Km/H

Read the thread about it. http://avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17715

Will the software bypass interfere with anything since I already have the hardware bypass done?
