This is my first time using any of keepers mods. When I first tried to put it in, I got an error message. So I placed the new gfx file from the 3.0 mod thought thread and it works fine. I must say i like the cleanliness of the screen. Very nice indeed.
Keeper 3.0 Mod - 07-29-09 UPDATE
I like the Mod, but the brake speed msg drives me crazy. Can you change the speed in the ini file to 256, so it does not disable the mod when driving please?.
Working beautifully here. Love the screen layout, functional and clean. Keep up the good work!

You are likely aware of this, but you can also change this before loading it onto your box...very easy changed (and described earlier in this post)...
its cool....
Can you/anybody tell me how do i set transparency to the left side icons... i want those to be little bit transparent other than that its simply great!!
Thanks for your great work dude!!
Will you add the speed cam mod into your mod and speed limit, i'll be much happy ![]()
I changed the ini to 256 and still the same, any thoughts?

it won't work if you don't have the p-brake grounded
For Keeper, IDT, and CMH:
Please give us your 2.0 mod packs in 3.0.
My device works faster, but the map is dull gray, my buttons aren't across the top, my unit won't display speed or altitude on the main screen.
Paypal ready, just give us the IDT4.2 for 3.0 . Please....
CMH = gone
It's not as easy as you thing to "give" you guys mods... give me a million dollars and I'll give you mods... thats the same type of request.

Exactly! The issue is people using the mods, that are generously given, and haven't done their homework and do not know how to apply them properly. CMH = gone?
Trust me he's still around but just not giving his stuff away anymore. As for IDT He will be working on the new 3.0 data.zip as soon as he gets his car back and probably generously posting that for people as well.
I don't mind requests (although I ignore most of them, because I make it the way I want my unit) the one thing that bugs me is when people make requests for very simple stuff. Such as semi transparent buttons, that is something you can do in about 5 mins in any graphics program (there are free ones out there). So that means you are just being lazy.
An example of how it should work is Euro's radio sits at a different level than mine so he was having a hard time seeing the top bar. So instead of bitching about it he went in and changed a couple y values and now it works great. That kind of comment and response makes me want to keep adding to the community.
I understand that it can be intimidating to go into the .ui files and change stuff but it is that way for all of us. Sometimes I get very confused as to why my unit keeps rebooting, then I have to go back and figure it out.
Small rant over...
On a side note I have a pretty cool quick launch menu just about done. So I will be posting that in a couple days.
I have tried a number of times to change the ini file so the brake stays off, (256 instead of 16), but I must be zipping it wit h incorrect settings on 7zip, because when after I copy the zip file, my gps keeps rebooting. What are the correct 7zip settings?
you shouldnt need any settings in 7zip. After you edit the file it should prompt you are you shore you want to change this or something to that effect and 7zip should do it automatically. I have modified this file and it is about a simple as things can be, once done click SAVE on the .ini file screen then hit backwards till you go all the way back to the data.zip screen on 7zips window.
Also for those asking to add the speed-cam mod here are the steps.
Download the speedcam mods data zip on that page. open both data.zips in 7zip. In the speedcams modified DATA.zip navigate to ui_pioneer > common > ui. Then navigate in keepers modded DATA.zip to the same exact place. Go back to the speedcam data.zip and click and drag place.ui into the Keepers Mod it will ask if you want to copy click yes. it will take about 30 seconds. Now do this same process of dragging for setting.ui and for speedcam.ui. Now hitting the back button on Keepers mod till it shows the data.zip. Upload testmode, all the files needed for speedcam mod and keepers mod and place them where they belong and you are done.

CMH posted on here like 2 days ago. I am sure he is still on the forum and when people have a question he can answer he does. But he is prob done sharing all his hard work because people are too lazy to try and figure out answers to any of their own questions. Granted I still have questions but I at least attempt to do stuff before I ask a question.

sorry... I had to! ![]()
Yea, I did some modding a while back, I didnt mind doing it as long as people didnt abuse the privlage and take advantage... its a community and people help each other out... but there's always that 4000 users that sign up make one post saying "omg, hu dead, I load your version of avic and you broke my unit, fix now or die with a mighty wrath of my mind"

Thank you for this info. I will transfer those ui files.

No worries just trying to give back a bit... I know a couple people were asking for it and I am a teacher and have summers off so am now starting to try and do some of my own fiddling.
That is not how I was doing it, but I guess that is how I will try it now.
Thanks

patience my friend, just need to get my car back

oooohhhh. Can we get a sneek peak pic? ![]()
I am going to test it at lunch, if all is good I will upload it today.
where to I up load and download mods
made small mod with keeper's download. Just taking pieces that i want, moving things around. it was big help
mute nav
stop nav
nice compass
bigger clock
So here is an update with the quick menu. I think I figured out a way to add a lot of options and keep the clean look.
In the first picture you will see a drop down arrow, this is the button you select to access the quick menu.
In this picture you see the four catagories each having a few options. You must press the top up arrow to collapse the menu.
1. Destinations
2. Zoom
3. POI's
4. MSN
In this shot you can see each section expanded. When you press on a section it will expand. It will collapse on its own if nothing is pressed in 5 seconds (although it seems like a long 5 seconds)
1a. return home
1b. address search
1c. address history
1d. address favorites
2a. Zoom in
2b. Zoom out
3a. POI near GPS
3b. POI near destination
3c. POI near cursor
4 all MSN catagories.
In this last shot you can see the placement while navigating. You must press the button to the left of the mute button to access the menu while navigating.
I did not get to test this much so let me know if there are any obvious bugs. The only bad thing I can think of is that the boxes go over the lane signs. Not much I can do about that except that I made them go over at least not behind.
Here is the ZIP
Up next is to get some of those great mods over to the POI section, they way it is set up now kind of blows.
This is a really nice clean look. Keep up the good work man. I like the last one with the expandable icons.
