-currently this has the subaru impreza rally car as the default 3D car

to change the 3D arrow to a car model

download the 3DCars.rar file on the download link provided and extract it

and you have to edit the sys.txt

change the current values of this

3dcarsizemin=2500 
3dcarsizemax=5000 
3dcarsizemul=15000 

to this

3dcarsizemin=5000 
3dcarsizemax=8000 
3dcarsizemul=30000 

and add this part to the [3D] section

 
car_day=hot_rod_red.mdl  
car_night=hot_rod_red.mdl
ghost_day=hot_rod_red.mdl
ghost_night=hot_rod_red.mdl

you now have to transfer the desired carmodel and tex file to the gfx folder in the data.zip and change the names of the above code to your selected car model name, i haven't tested every car model out as i already like the hot_rod car, but it's just a trial and error thing

for speed camera

you have to search for speed camera text file for your area,

there are 2 versions of this mod, 1 for standard (regular, MSN and TMC) and 1 for alternate (regular, MSN and TMC)

the reason i created two for each is because of the unit setting varying from different locations (setting a speed camera), so if the first one doesn't work for you then use the one with the alternate at the end of the filename

INSTALLATION: Please read carefully

1) first off this is not an auto installer,

2) extract files and transfer all files to a freshly formatted SD card (for F500 users, you have to edit the device type part first to reflect the device type of the F500 before transfering it to the SD)

3) this already has testmode file so no need to add anything else

4) insert SD to unit,

5) boot up unit

***if this is your first time,PLEASE BACK UP YOUR FILES

6) copy DATA.ZIP, SYS.TXT,EXTENSION folder and DS-DIGI file to MYFLASHDISKAPL2IGO

7) go to MYFLASHDISKAPL2IGOCONTENT and create a new folder and name it as map_nt and copy basemap.fbl from map folder to map_nt folder, this is where you're going to place your navteq maps

to add a different scheme, add the contents of scheme folder to MYFLASHDISKAPL2IGOCONTENTSCHEME

**IT'S MANDATORY TO DELETE THE SAVE FILES, it's in My Flash DiskUSERUserDataiGosave, everything should be deleted

9) once done copying turn off the unit, remove sd card and then turn unit on,

for people who want to use custom branding.zip to delete kml.icon from data.zip (DATA.zipui_pioneericonspoikml.icon). (thanks to jezikk for pointing it out)

if you find any bugs please post em up so i could get it fixed

any comments, suggestions, requests are welcome, i will try my best to please everyone

any donations thru paypal are very much appreciated <!-- e --><a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a><!-- e -->

hi IDT, in this version the demo mode option is enable (TMC version) ?

hi IDT, in this version the demo mode option is enable (TMC version) ?

yes, i think the bug that you brought up is still there, haven't had a chance to work on it yet but for sure i'll include it on the next update,

i've got a question though, as far as i know the use for the demo mode is for display purpose, not sure why your using it but if you're using it to do a simulation then i suggest you click the simulation or the flyover on the route info screen,

IDT,

Great mod....You are amazing. One small bug that I found is in the custom settings menu. I get an error message and I think it is because it is trying to find the fade option and it is not there. It is not a biggy by any means, just thought you would want to know.

Hi IDT,

first of all thank you very much for the new version of your mod. Looks very nice. I like having the knobs on the left side.

Since you are a very responsible person and since I have a fall back solution, if the pioneer doesn't work, I'll test it this week. I will drive some 1.000 Miles in Germany.

Set-up:

AVICF-900BT European version

SW: 3.02 (regular update)

minor adjustments of the local settings in the sys.txt (attached it)

using the regular EU-Version of your mod (not the alternate)

so long

Hannes

P.S.: So far I recognized, the speedlimit sign is double when selected to show. Use a workaround and let speedlimit show where Time To Destination and so on is shown.

SYS.TXT

Hi,

first impressions on a trip to Frankfurt a.M. (Germany).

Everything works fine besides the speedlimit-signs (double). 3D-buildings, TMC, Bluetooth, radar... all work well.

Everything is a little bit smaller now and the upper bar showing next waypoint is so far up, that I can hardly make out, what it is saying there. I am 6.4 feet tall driving a Japanese car, so my head is high and the unit is low, so I have a hard time figuring out, what it says in the upper part of the screen - excuse my English please... Not my day writing in English...

Thanks again for this great work! hmm, hardly dare to make a wish: It would be really awsome, if there was something on the screen, showing the TMC-status. My wife has a Clarion and I think it is very useful, to see, whether TMC is alive or not.

Greetings

Hannes

I actually do like this but it is not possible to accelerate the simulation speed.

You still did great job

I have a question: this version of mod V3.0 is the successor of version 3.0Final "skin1? Will you continue to update the version 3.0Final "skin1" because I like the skin of this version here. In your new version I find there is too much information at once.

don't use the DEMO mode to simulate a route, use the FLYOVER or the SIMULATION, when you have a route clickt the route function shortcut and you'll see on the bottom the SIMULATE and the FLYOVER button

ok I'll try like this

Thank's

Hi Julius,

On the Eu version(not alternative)the speed limit signs are showing twice,one above the other.This happens on both the emulator and the avic.Thanks.

OK Julius,thank you.

Hi Julius,

Can you do anything about the number not being in the middle of the roundabout symbol.ie the exit number that is inside the symbol of the roundabout(don't know what they are called in the states)I know you fixed this before in IDT skin 1.I know it's a bit trivial but it does spoil the otherwise excellent appearance.TIA.PS it appears to be i only in the next turn icon not the primary one. (the small one)

ill take care of it,

... In your new version I find there is too much information at once.

Hi Misterblue,

figuered out that you can reduce the amount of information on the screen by editing the screen settings in the visuals menu.

so long

Nice mod. Julius!

Hi Julius.Found another little glitch.When you are not routing ie just cruising,the numbers are offset in the speed limit sign.When navigating they are fine.I know you are a perfectionist!!

thanks, i'll have it fixed,

When I try to change another scheme than default pioneer scheme i get "failed to open file:ui_igo8/common/trackinglist.spr exiting application". I pasted your scheme too.

did you erase the contents of your save folder? i think this has to do with the schemes from dpdurst so if you don't have ui_igo8 from his download then you'll get that error

Ok. I got it but i don´t have sky´s anymore is it possible to get sky´s back with your new mod?

Ok. I got it but i don´t have sky´s anymore is it possible to get sky´s back with your new mod?

if you're using the the schemes included in my mod it should have the sky, not sure why it's not showing up on yours, what scheme are you using,

Hi,

drove a couple of Miles today and recognized a couple things - just cosmetic glitches:

1. If the next move in the upper bar is preceeded by a 4-digit number (1000 m), the compass covers the "1"

2. In the area showing distance after next turn, the arrow covers the first numer, if it has three digits (12,3 km) the "1" is covered by the yellow arrow

3. Pressing the TMC button or the route button and then returning to the navigation screen, the - don't know the correct expression, sorry - red dot with the red circle does not show. For it to show again I had to press Menu-button and the the Map-button.

4. First time after installing the 3.02-update it took long this morning to find the gps-signal - I improved the performance by setting the default location in SYS.TXT to a place in Germany, for Europeans it even helps a lot setting Northing AND Easting to "0.0". But the day befor I had to park in minus 6th floor, where there is no reception of anything. I have to admit, I can only guess why this is so... I don't know Windows very well... To be honest, I try to avoid it as much as I can.

Thanks IDT for this wonderful mod.

Hey quick question.. probably stupid, but if you bought the 3.0 update and have the SD cards with it on it does that suffice as a back up. thanks for any help.. want to use this mod
