i have an f700 . i have seen some questions on your site about ppl trying to get internet access to work . you can use google maps or any streaming media . to do this you need a bluetooth manager to pair your bluetooth device .

i use this: http://www.adeneo-embedded.com/srt/en/d ... n.id:=1332

for internet access, you can use PAN . i have a windows mobile 6.1 that has "internet connection sharing" via bluetooth .

it's easy, just pair your phone to the avic . then activate internet connection sharing over bluetooth on your phone .

now you can use google maps or you can install a CE web browser (Opera: http://www.opera.com/mobile/)

have fun

so you've actually had it running? wow, could you post pics?

WOW... a step by step tutorial for this with pics would be awesome. please...

Indeed, this would be very interesting to see if it also works on the Avic 900 too.

so anyone can confirm if this is possible?

Looks pretty basic. Copy the cab file to the device and then dbl-click it to install it.

List of requirements:

SYSGEN_BTH_AUDIO

You can download the trial for free. Looks like it will last 30 min.

I guess the big question is.... Who wants to be the gunea pig

so anyone tried it yet?

I don't want to brick my unit...

What about someone who has wince working with the avic software.

Think they'd want to help???

I nominate gremlin190. After all he is the one who said it seems pretty basic. Come on gremlin take on for the team.

This has been discussed many times on here. I don't have programming know how or I would give it a shot.

I think the AVIC has some of the stacks required for TCP/IP. I noticed it had an icon for BT DUN which is Bluetooth Dial Up Networking. Now my idea was a bit different. I want the internet connection to be as easy as possible for the AVIC. This is why I don't think a WiFi adapter in the SD slot is the best solution. I purchased a USB 10/100 wired ethernet adapter that has CE 5 drivers available. In fact a few months ago I posted all this info on a thread and no body chimed in. In included the driver and the registery edit needed to make it work.

I happen to own a D-Link DIR-450 EVDO router with a Verizon Wireless EVDO card installed. This is mounted in the trunk of my car. So if I could let the router take care of the connection and just dynamically assign a IP to my F700 through a wired connection, it would be the least complicated solution for the AVIC.

What I would like to run on my AVIC is the Windows Mobile version of SlingPlayer. Not sure how to make that happen either...

Well, whatever you install to Windows CE can be removed via the remove programs dialog in the control panel. I don't have mobile internet on my phone or else I'd try it. Well, that and I don't know if it could possibly modify crucial files which the uninstaller wouldn't fix.

But the possibilities that would be opened up with this (if it is indeed confirmed by more than one person) are vast. You could incorporate internet content into something like leet launcher to pull traffic, weather, mobitv, internet radio, etc..

It's sort of funny that the original poster doesn't even show any proof though. No screenshots, nothing.

You can also get the FON routers that support USB for 39 bucks and they support EVDO cards. also PAM networking on bluetooth should work on these units i just broke my avic tonight the Usb for the ipod seemed to come loose inside the unit i pulled it out to fix or return. Id love for ppl to Opensource develope on this unit since it is a pda pc

That'd be amazing and I'd spend the money for it. I currently have a Dash Express that has a cell phone built in - live traffic updates, and yahoo live searching. I love it - but I like my F700 more. I'm gonna ebay it soon (the Dash Express)

I'd absolutely pay a monthly access fee for my F700 to be online. I had considered building a carputer but the components are so astronomically expensive to build myself, I just went for the F700.

You can build a carputer for under $400 and use a HU like your F700 to display it. But why when with the right software you can make the F series do it internally?

My other vehicle has a carputer from mini-box.com and it works perfect. I spent about $360 on all the parts.

Ok, I requested the eval version and downloaded the cab file. Attaching the setup XML for the cab file

Does anyone know the CPU type used in F90BT? Is it an ARM or X86 ?

Also which version of CE runs on it?

I do application design/development for windows mobile and have access to the tools to build and deploy.

I will try to decipher the contents of the cab and see what would be effected if we did deploy it on our F-series.

ARM, Windows CE 5.0

Thanks for the version information

The cab file itself does not seem to contain any system file that it replaces. But it still not gurantee that the software would not change any registry settings after it starts up (or as part of initial configuration).

Unfortunately most of the emulators available do not emulate bluetooth so it is not possible to test this on an emulator.

I will keep researching this.

You could always do a registry backup first.. then if it changes anything that screws something up, you could uninstall the program and restore the registry back to default.

I am going to try installing the cab this afternoon.

Even if the cab file ends up overwriting system files a hard-reset should bring it back to life.

It cannot really mess with ROM.

I am hoping that the OS is installed on a ROM and not nand flash.

I bought a bluetooth adapter from ebay for about $20 and wired it in with RCA's to one of the rear inputs (well, specifically mine is run through an AV switchbox and then into AV2). The bluetooth adapter works in stereo, so when I get into the car my phone connects and I can then stream Pandora for free.

I don't use bluetooth on the radio itself very often... here and there but it increases the boot time long enough that I don't leave it on by default. I'd tolerate it if it were faster, but for $20 I have a better solution that works just as well and doesn't require any real guess work.

Going in to my AV switch box is Digital TV, iPod video, Playstation2, rear camera or this bluetooth adapter. Obviously only one works at a time, but it also allows me to split video into the headunit (to get audio) and into the rear display that hangs from the ceiling. This gives me the functionality that I lost when going away from the stock unit.

Hope this helps.

What does that have to do with internet on the AVIC unit....?

Does anyone know the CPU type used in F90BT? Is it an ARM or X86 ?

Also which version of CE runs on it?

It's a SiRF (formally Centrality) Titan Dual-core ARM processor running Windows CE 5.0.

Some people were able to use their phone as a modem using bluetooth from Miopocket. Checkout this forum http://www.gpspassion.com/forumsen/topi ... s=internet

Wifi with SDIO card http://www.gpspassion.com/forumsen/topi ... hichpage=1

Sorry for the delay guys.

I had to postpone the install till i get back from my trip this long weekend. In the mean time i got all the dev tools installed on my machine to be ready.

Also, I noticed that Avic seems to support USB host mode (given that the ipod works with it).

Windows CE natively support USB client mode, which is what it uses to communicate with a PC.

1. If we can figure out how to force it into a USB host mode and then plug in the devices, we might be able to get the phone and other wireless adapaters detected. Driver installation is the next step.

2. I need to also build a USB cable that has type A connector on both sides so we can plug in a PC. This will potentially allow us to use a windows mobile phone for internet connection.

Thanks for the mio links above, I will read through them.

I knew that it was not going to be easy.

It seems we do not have the same configuration screens create a bluetooth modem. There is an existing one called "BT_DUN" but it does not really connect to anything.

Installing a custom BT stack will give us a lot of things.

May be someone already has information on things i am looking for.

1. Is there a deivce mager we can download for use on "windows CE 5.0. I did see a screenshot of it on MSDN but could not find it anywhere.

2. Does hard reset really set everything(Excluding My Flash Disk) back to the way it was ?

thanks
