I just took a 500 mile trip using this mod. Everything works great except for one small bug. Whenever you are traveling and the display is in overview mode, if you touch any button one the screen and go back to map view the overview mode has been disabled. Has anyone else seen this happen? The overview mode setting remains selected on when this is happening. The only way to reactivate the overview mode it is to stop the route and restart it. Any thoughts on what is causing this?

i will take a look at it, thanks for pointing it out, hopefully i'll have an update next week as i will be using off the whole week

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.

Better to take coordinates of a place less then 300 Km from your "home". Why: the distance measure of GPS is based defining the phase of a repeating sequence of 1,023 bit long pseudonoise code (also pseudorandom binary sequence) (PN or PRN code) which, when transmitted at 1.023 megabits per second (Mbit/s), is repeated every msec. The speed of light and radio waves is +/- 300.000 Km/sec, therefore if you define your start point at less then 300 Km from your actual position, the system knows which sequence it's in and can make it the first triangulation (the measuring of distances to three or four satellites) faster.

Huh

IDT, as you can tell by my post #, I have not been a "vocal" member of this site, though I have tried to help a few out when I felt qualified. I actually have admired the way you, one of the biggest contributors to this site, have been patient in all your posts when answering questions when others who contribute little, are real smart *sses.

 

I have not yet gotten the courage up to try your mods, though I did use CMH's AIO because it was no muss, no fuss. Frankly, with all the other personal challenges you have had, I'm surprised you put up with all that you do for as long as you have. I just wanted to say, from an over 50 year old guy, that I really respected what you have done with the mods, but more in the way you have patiently answered questions and tried to assist others.

 

Thanks and good luck in whatever you do!

Hey nipLVII, from someone who just turned 50 a few days ago...I wanted you to know that I had to work up my courage to hack my 700 with IDT's mod...like you I had tried out CMH's AIO...but after the upgrade to v3 firmware I was leary about messing with my unit...however, IDT's mod (incorporating so much good work from so many other great contributers on the forum) is so useful/attractive I just had to make the leap. I followed all the directions (making backups, etc) and went slowly...but am ecstatic with the result. Everyone who sees the unit in action is properly awed...

I have a separate post on my experience somewhere else in this thread...showing the sequence that I installed the various mods (IDTs, Nav warning, backup warning, 2009.6 Canada map...) but it worked like a charm and I have the nav/entertainment system that Pioneer should be producing...not the dumbed down version that they ship.

Hi IDT,

while renovating my unit and adding 2009.9 maps I also switched to your Skin #2 and must say it is almost perfect.

Some observations for your Info:

-Distance to next maneuvre displays only values up to 3 digits correctly 1100 Meters for example are displayed as 100 Meters. Can be quite confusing.

-The direct access buttons to the left are -in my opinion- a bit too small and difficult to touch precisely while on the road, I could live with just the TMC, Mute Navi, toggle (between N up, direction up and 3D) and the end route. And maybe a "show route"

-Using the new 3.00202 firmware still no tripcomputer working

-For me, aproaching the 50, some of the numbers are hard to read

As usual, don't take it as an offence, your mod is so much better than the stock version, but in my opinion gets a bit overloaded and more difficult to use in real life than the initial versions. I appreciate that you are trying to make everybody happy, but thought so far your main aim would be to make the unit more userfriendly. I think in this respect you are a bit over the top now.

Thanks for your work, it's the only reason I stick to the Avic

I dont understand what is not working on the tripcomputer! I have had it working on this mod when I had it installed prior and now I have Diaftias V 2.2 mod and it works on that one as well. I am using the 3.0 firmware, not the 3.01 or the 3.02 as I found that the updates were not worth the installation. I am a firm believer 'If it aint broke, Don't fix it'. I use the trip computer about 3-4 times a week and I have never had it NOT work, so I am confused why so many people are having problems

thanks for the input, i'm currently working on skin#3 and will try to have a simple navi view

thanks for the input, i'm currently working on skin#3 and will try to have a simple navi view

The trick to getting a simple Navi view with lots of goodies is to have a collapsing screen like Diaftia's V2.3. He has more extras than ever before in ANY mod, and that can only be accomplished by a collapsing menu

i agree but what i dont get is why push a shortcut to get another set of shortcuts

Lol, it all depends how much extra you got. If you only have 5 or 6 extras, then you just need one button, but if you have a ton of goodies, then you need more than just 8 slots, and everything is neatly tucked away .

we'll see how it goes, i have an idea on how to make a simple looking screen, i just have to implement it, hopefully i'll have it out soon with the rest of the updates for skin#1 and #2

Can someone please post the step by step instructions for the newbie? This looks great. Awesome job. I just dont want to brick my system due to not knowing what to do.

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, and DS-DIGI file to MYFLASHDISK\APL2\IGO

7) to add a different scheme, add the contents of scheme folder to MYFLASHDISK\APL2\IGO\CONTENT\SCHEME

**IT'S MANDATORY TO DELETE THE SAVE FILES, it's in My Flash Disk\USER\UserData\iGo\save, everything should be deleted except for favourites.dat if you have it

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

Hey, ABB,

Is there any way I can get you to post your "My Flash Disk" on a download site so I can try it in mine to see if it is a software problem with mine?

Thanx,

Bud

sorry for the delay on the update, i know it's already overdue, i already have the map changer working and still working on the fuel calc, also added diafta's split screen and modified it to my liking, if i get a chance i might look into adding the theme changer but it all depends on how hard it is to implement and if time permits,

Hey idt,

The links to your download seem to be down.

Any chance of getting them back up?

Thanks

nothing major on how the navigation screen looks, just added a phone button and adjusted their position to balance how it looks, been real busy at work anf only been able to work on the mods on a slack day (which is not very often) hopefully i get it out soon, if not i'll just try to hve as much half_patches integrated to it

Thanks for the update Julius.Obviously work comes first and the mods do eat up the hours.

This is a great mod I have been using it. I love having access to so many features on the main screen. I do agree that the buttons are hard to press and also believe a collapsible menu is a great idea. i had suggested it when these mods first came out but no one seemed interested. Two minor gripes are that I wish there was a POI button while in a route (if you want to stop and get food somewhere along your trip) and having the elevation show in feet regardless of how high you are (but i remember reading a fix for that somewhere else). Great job on my favorite mod!

i've got the mapchanger fully working now and the fuel calculator, just a couple mimor tweaks and it'll be ready, once all this is done i'll have the update for this skin and shortly after that the third skin, third skin will have bigger buttons and some other stuff
