That is good info indeed. So the control as to where to write data is in Sys.txt, which is good. But if you guys expect lot of writings, you still have to provide the Sys.txt to write externally to the SD card, just for safety and prevent newbies from wearing out their internal flash.

 

Many thanks!

I still wouldnt worry about that. The internal flash would still probably outlast your Avic.

 

If all depends Abb, if the script is recording at every 10 seconds, and you are driving 2 hours per days in average, then with 10,000 write cycles, your AVIC will only last 14 days (NOT YEARS)

 

Hein what?

I am not worried, I never keep electronics longer than one year. My F700BT lasted me a year traveling 60000 km. I now use it for modding and my X910bt will last jusst as long. if it doesn't, who cares, electronics are replaceable

** My editing comes too late ...

Well, that is a bit expensive for me to replace every one or 2 years. I would expect it to last the whole time I own my vehicule .

Who else could?

** I would expect it to last the whole time I own my vehicule .

 

To me, this is all a hobby. I build my own computers since '99 and keep them up to date with the latest technology as it comes out. Tv's have a longer expectancy, I usually keep them for three years. Gps systems on the other hand need to be updated regularly or even yearly. I still have a TomTom system from 2005 that does not even have two streets in my neighborhood that have been there for 30 years. It also doesn't have Airport Rd in Toronto where Pearson International Airport is on, or a main city street in Kingston . No, we have to keep our technology up to date, or else, what is the sense of having it!

How is that possible? Technology is changing at an alarming rate. In five years these systems will be so outdated.

OMG, give me your cell number so I can call you from time to time, just to see if you have anything to sell .

I started buiding computer since the time of Apple II Plus with 64 KB of RAM, no HDD at all ... but we have to be environmentally responsible, those technology garbage is so damaging for the environment, and our kids ...

Chuck88,

If this is a problem for you just adjust your sys.txt to store the files where you want them.

Other than that you might want to post this in a new thread as it does not really relate to this mod but the hardware in general.

Hey 34by151,

It is not my intent to speak about the environmental issue, but just make modders aware of the fact (limited write cycle of Flash) and make sure I don't have a nice piece of software but only to shorten the life of my AVIC.

With this been said, I will be the first one to try your mod once released .

Until then ... let's continue enjoying modding.

Sorry Chuck, you would be at the bottom of a very long list . Before any of my friends shop for ANY electronics, they check with me first as always, what I have is better than what they want

That is what I thought, and your friends must always tell you that "I am glad, and this is what friends is for ... by buying/taking over your stuffs!".

Chick88,

Thanks for your comments re the flash writes. Please be aware that the next version is a collaborative effort.

I can accept no credit for things that are not entirely my own work, so thanks from both of us

With regards the flash disk, thank you again, Diaftia and myself are aware.

I don't feel this is a problem given that you have the option to have these files on the SD card or USB stick.

Please take the discussion on the flash disk writes to a new thread as it does not relate to this topic directly but to the life cycle the AVIC and electronics in general

Cheers

Thank you 34by151, I am over with those discussions here ... and you are right, they do not belong to this thread.

I don't have intention to make another thread for that matter, as this is only a side note, but maybe a too big one .

With best regards!

I installed this and now am a little lost...

 

....is there a place where I can find the explanation for all the settings in this mod?

Uh, did you read all of the verbiage on the very first page?

How do you think I installed it?

Anyways, I found the information I was looking for on page 24 of the forum

Hi Everybody,

I have recently installed Diaftia's Hybrid mods V2.3 EU version (I am in the UK), and since the installation, I can no longer here and voice during navigation - all volumes are turned up and I have tried both the US and UK voices and neither seem to work. I am using the unit with the ND-500 amp and when it should say something, the amp does kick in and mute my radio for a couple of seconds just nothing is announced. I have tried using the unit stand-alone and changed the output to built in speaker and still the same problem. No navigation voice ever!

I have spent quite a bit of time searching so apologies in advance if there is already an answer to this! I did see another user had the same problem but could not find a response.

Any help would really be appreciated as my avic is kind of useless without voice guidance!

When i had this problem it was a setting in the sys.txt.Have you installed a diffrerent sys.txt and if so have you made sure the settings therein are correct for your device and/or your voices?

I have a few little problems whit this nice mod and my f900bt europ

- when bluetooth is on the unit only reset him/his self?!? on SD card are a lot of POI's

- I am missing the possibility "travel through" it is when I use a poi but not with a address

- is it simple possible to have your complete route map on the screen?

 

Tanks a lot

Ron

Nobody a suggestion??

Please (and tanks)

Ron

I installed this and now am a little lost.

 

I can't see the "Delete Route" and "Mute Navigation" buttons on the Map screen. They were there when I installed this mod, but then I fiddled with the settings and now they are gone and I can't seem to find the option to make them available again.

 

Also, is there a place where I can find the explanation for all the settings in this mod?

You probably have full screen cockpit turned on. Turn that option off.

Sorry for the delay. Catching up.

The only thing I couldn't figure out was how to make a saved poi search.

I mean to "create" a saved search. Could this be because I was in a route already?

Go into manage in settings I believe. That is where you save a route.

I had this problem when I did not delete my save files after putting a different version on. Most likely the mute sound variable is corrupted/overwritten to an unreadable state.

I am having a hard time understanding your problems:

1. Reset bluetooth? What do POI's have to do with bluetooth. Can you clarify for me?

2. Travel through? Do you mean add a via?

3. Yes. Go to the route planning screen and click the on the bottom right shown here:

Sorry for being MIA guys. Life was calling and when life was not calling coding was.

Yes, that was indeed the case. Thanks for your reply.

One more question - Before this mod, the highway signs for lane guidance used to be dark green and opaque. Now they are lighter shade of green and translucent. Is there a way to switch back to opaque background? Do I need to replace a file?

Any estimate to when your going to release the next version? No Hurry...

Which surely was based on:

"While the new version retains the look and feel please be aware it is almost a total rewrite of the code not just a collection of mods. Much of the code is new and as such needs testing. Virtually nothing has been left untouched. As such it is quite a job to polish out all the things on the list."
