do you have the appropriate files in the unit?

I searched my f900bt Australian, where speedcam warnings are legal. Found these files on the NAND internal flash disk:

/APL2/iGO/CONTENT/SPEEDCAM/...

 

SpeedCamsV14.spb

speedcam.spdb

SpeedcamUpdates.spud

 

hope that is of any use to you... God luck.

text files get convetred to SPDB automatically.

 

Normally, adding 'enable_speedcam' to the config file is sufficient. I thought that only Switzerland was hardcoded to disallow them. If Czech Republic is as well, you'll need to hack the executable to remove the limitation...

Delelete ALL the files in /APL2/iGO/CONTENT/SPEEDCAM/, then copy the new *.txt file.

The unit at the next startup will take care of the conversion.

Finally I got it to work now, there was fault in my point of view, speedcams are not visible in map mode only in navigation mode. There was my fault.

 

For others I add to sys.txt to bebug section speedcam_enabled=1

 

Then I change DATA.ZIP\ui_pioneer\common\ui\ PLACE.UI

this code script sc_StartPlaceMenuPlan

 

runif vBeta "0" 'btnPMP_SaveAsSpeedcam.hide,btnPMP_EditCam.hide'

runif vBeta "5" 'btnPMP_SaveAsSpeedcam.hide,btnPMP_EditCam.hide'

 

with

 

;********************xucheng add *****************

; BM - always show spewedcamera controls

; So just remove original HIDE ;run 'btnPMP_SaveAsSpeedcam.show,btnPMP_EditCam.show'

 

This code will hide camera controls if you are running US (vBeta=0 or vBeta=5, different models).

Thought janekx was missing the actual camera file to the map version he had installed...

I'm pretty surprised that Czechs have the limitation, I'm from Slovakia and it seemed to be a 'public secret' where the cameras are, just about everybody knew :-D what's the point...

I cannot help but wonder how things are nowadays, haven't been there for 5 years almost. But we all hack our units anyway :lol:

 

Laws are in place to show the right path, not to be 100% implemented, only a crazy person dreams of such a place... ;)

Prepac janekx, nie ze by sa mi nechcelo pisat 'po nasom',ale ostatny by z toho mali dost malo :) Odkial si,mimochodom?

Pioneer told me that there are limitations in EU countries so must be used customisations to override them.

Su z Brna, mam F900BT asi mesic a tak se s tim seznamuji a odladuji ji :) vice radsi pres PM aby nas nevykopli ...
