Copy to iGO directory overwriting existing files.
I'd suggest running it in emulator first. Just add maps and your preferred language file...
Preview pic's?
not sure what this is for, is this actually for our unit or just for the emulator?

It'll run on AVIC, of course. There would be no point otherwise.

so the entire content of the download would be transferred to apl2?

Easiest way to get it going. You probably could ???? it working by hacking your SYS.TXT, and copying DATA.ZIP and skin files. For average user it'd be easier to just add their maps to the download and move the whole thing.
just by looking at it this thing is so complicated
just tried it on my f90 and it seems to work fine, will try it out later when I go out driving. The 3d cars do not show up in the 3d menu, even after I press the scan button.

i definitely have to give it a try, have you tried the extension programs (themechanger, mapchanger etc)?
I tried copying the whole thing over to the iGO folder, but got the "no more disk space left" message. I figured it'd overwrite and have enough space, but nope - ran out of room.
What did get up and working, though, looked pretty nice!!
In the audio folder, it seems only contain Russian voices for warning and alerts.
Anyway, will give it a try to find out.
Too bad, no sound. Even no click sound in the Navigation menu.

If you are using an F500 make sure that SYS.TXT has correct device type. Actually, always check SYS.TXT to make sure it has the same device type as your original SYS.TXT.
I'll ask author about 3D cars not working on an actual unit. Oin the meanwhile, you can copy them all to GFX folder and use SYS.TXT to change (finally, some real 3D models...). Becker and Blaupunkt arrows are pretty nice...
Finally made it work, but the problem was not the sys.txt, as I had put the correct device type there.
After I replace the data.zip and the branding.zip file with ones I took from the generic IGO8 June 8th build, it starts work properly as expected. I have the full functioned gurjon skin and even the 3d cars.
There is still one minor issue, at least on my F500BT, phone-bluetooth in Navigation is not fully function. I can answer/hang-up phone calls while in navigation mode, but if I want to start a phone call by click on the [hook-up] icon, i will get an error message "could not load bluetooth api dll ...". Also I would like to have the [EXIT] button disabled/hide. Having said that, I personally still feel this is the best mod so far.
Hey Yeek,
Any chance of a link to the data.zip and branding files please.
Brian.
With this mod, it's actually using data.zip and branding file from generic igo8. So I believe the data file from this pack should work: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3UXH5QKY.

Not quite. Branding it shouldn't really care about, but DATA.ZIP does was altered somewhat from standard to include sending messages to Pioneer's shell so it does not reboot the unit all the time.
Thanks I will try that.
Thanks Boris, it ran in my F900 fine but my initial thaught is that its too much, would take a while for my old brain to get familiar enough with it to use it on the go.

Boris, slightly off topic but i liked the fact that the petrol station logo's ie shell, BP etc come up, is it possible to put that part in my standard ver3 ? if yes how please.

Agreed. That's why personally I am waiting for Stanislavovich to port his skin to 3.0
For me, logos came up with branding file that was in the 3.0 upgrade. Standard V3 should work fine with any correct branding.zip file AFAIK.
OK thanks I will try to use the branding.zip from the gurjon skin files, with my ver3 all I see are generic petrol signs no branding, thanks again for your help.

You're welcome.
I'm in!! Just starting to play with it now.
I initially ran into a problem with it not starting. The error I received was pointing to a pioneer bmp. Stange it would do that as was no Pioneer zip in the IGO folder at all. The issue was from the sys txt from the 3.0 upgrade. There are two lines for TMC that point to spr's, if you look up the spr's and open them the first line is telling the prog to open a certain bmp. Once I commented out the two references to TMC in sys txt it booted. I'm just staring to play with it now so I really can't comment on the features or possible problems yet. FWIW, I'm using it on the US F500BT model.
