Anyone any ideas?Just noticed that I no longer receive traffic info on my 900BT.I am running V3.003 and IDT'S latest(3.4) and greatest.When I go into traffic settings it looks as though the unit has stopped searching for traffic info channels.Any help guys?

Thanks IDT.Sorry I have added a post to the original thread(IDT etc)

Are you using IDT'S European Version?

 

If the Device is not set to 746EW in SYS.TXT it will not receive TMC data.

 

Good Luck

It must have to do with 3.0003, which is a hacked version. I'm running the stock 3.002 (the original update with the maps) and had no problems with IDT's mod. 3.0003 was never officially released as far as i know. Try upgrading to 3.1

 

Good Luck

Will try that thanks.

Upgraded to 3.001 from the pioneer site....happy days!Thanks again for your help.

I have exactly the Same problem, but updating to 3.01 did not help. Even without the modded data.zip i can only get tmc or Bluetooth working, not both. Maybe I have to upgrade the Bluetooth software?

Somebody else has this problem as well? I use an European 750bt.

Does anybody have a solution? tomorrow I have to drive from Amsterdam to brindisi, and i really would be happy with Bluetooth and tmc....

i have the same problem with 3.01 and Diaftia's Keeper mod.

I installed the whole eu 3.0 flash folder from scratch and everything is working again. Added several mods and everything still ok. Only after adding the hacked ezrider for 3d buildings the problem is back. So it has something to do with the hacked ezrider, are there different version of hacked ezrider 3d?

Posted Sep 28, 2009 · 17:02 UTC#18

I used the 3.0003 as well, but deleted all files on the flash disk first. I do not use the hacked ezrider anymore and updated the bluetooth with the latest from pioneer.

Does anybody know if there's an updated, hacked, ezrider.exe that will work with bluetooth AND tmc, so that it's possible for european users to view the 3d buildings as well?

thank so much cococool all is correct with 3.0003....

 

for the 3d building, I use the "original 3.0003" ezrider and it's OK... but it's not the latest map :(

Posted Oct 01, 2009 · 11:55 UTC#21

Strange, I only get the landmarks, not the buildings with 30003... :(

Hi cococool,

 

I have had the same problem as you are having. Or bluetooth was working or TMC was working. Now everything is working fine :), I did the following:

 

I installed version 3.0 from this thread: http://www.avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=26625 thanks to Tomola!!!

Then I installed the hacked ezrider which you can find anywhere in this forum.

Installed the newest iGO 8.3 maps/buildings etc. I could find (Q2 2009)

Installed newest version of IDT's hack (version 4.9)

After this I still had the same problem, after reading IDT's instructions again, I found out that I skipped a crucial step, although IDT has clearly described this step (reading can be so difficult :roll: ) : deleting al files in the

My Flash Disk\USER\UserData\iGo\save directory, everything should be deleted except for favourites.dat if you have it

After carrying out this step, everything worked out fine!!!

 

So thanks IDT!! I was an absolute fan of the GTIMatt mod (still think it's a great one, but it's not compatible with fw version 3.0)

Now I'm using version 4.9 of your mod and I must admit it's pretty impressive, works great, has all the functions I need (I especially like the TMC button in the nav screen) so keep up the good work and thanks for all the effort, I know that a lot of people are really happy with your work

Can anyone explain what the various files in the save folder actually do or are. My TMC is erratic but even if I have the files to restore I would like to know what I am losing if I delete as suggested here.

 

Thanks
