Hello All-

 

Sorry I have been so out of touch lately. I have a newborn baby in my life (now two weeks old) along with a 4 year old. Add to that that I work for a startup which is 1 month away from releasing our first product and things are quite busy. Add yet another complication to the mix and that is that I sold the car which my AVIC was in so I can't do any testing. It had to go with the package so to speak. I am hoping to get another AVIC for my new car but none of the current ones seem to be as moddable as the older versions. I will continue to keep a lookout though.

 

If anyone is interested in taking over this project then feel free. I would be happy to give some pointers on the code wherever I can. You should be fairly advanced with this stuff as the code got rather complex towards the end.

 

Thanks,

 

Alex

Congrats on the new family and good luck with the job, I hope to see you here modding again real soon!

Alex, thanks for your efforts over the years. I've just loaded your latest mod on my F910BT and it is running brilliantly. I've made a small contribution as a gesture of my thanks. All the best with your young family and work.

Wow! Thank you so much Geoff! That was very generous of you and I greatly appreciate the donation!

Thank you as well to everyone for the warm send off. I am glad you all have enjoyed my mods over the years and have found them useful. Hopefully this won't be the last you see of me. I am definitely a fan of Pioneer and will keep an eye on them.

Hey Alex,

congratulations ang good luck from germany, too!! I wish you all the best for family and job!!

Thanks for all the good work and the best mod of all!!!

Are you able to answer my last two questions (PM) without your unit?

With over 1200 posts, I'd say you have contributed a whole lot. I also thank you for your latest mod. I finally have a unit I am pleased with and have been doing little to change it. It's great. Thanks for your help and guidance along the way. ...And congrats on the new addition. All the best to your future.

Yes, your contribution to the AVIC community is great. I don't know what I'd be doing without you.

Do a search for "hide" or "av hide". I want to say its at the bottom of the settings.ui file but it could be navigatemap.ui.

Not sure what you mean about the address button. If you mean the quick menu button that is a but complex but there are offset settings already in the options.

Thanks Harvey! Used to have almost a thousand a while back. My version 1 mods thread was deleted and when they restored it all my posts were still gone. I probably have over 2K but there is no way to prove that.

Thanks man... always good to know you are making an impact someplace.

Wish I got to know you better diaftia. Im fresh into the community and your modding has already helped me with my unit. Yove left a footprint in this community. Those who know you will be leading now and those who are new like me will be following in those footprints.

Congrats and best wishes!

I really like this mod and want to install it but I was hoping to keep my ipod interface the same where it shows the title and cover, is there a way to keep the original ipod look on the maps and keep everything else? thanks

from Spain, thanks, very well

Hey Guys!. Quick question.

Oh and Congrats diaftia on the new addition to your family!.

I downloaded the NavTeq maps and noticed Diaftia's mod includes a Map changer. Where does the NT Map need to be placed so that the Map changer can successfully toggle one or the other?

Right now I just copied the NT map to my MAPS folder and it sorta took over the TeleAtlas maps Job. LOL. Even though the TA Map is in the same folder the Avic now reports under "MAPS" as using the 2010 NavTeq Map.

Thanks!

Put TA maps in CONTENT\map and NT maps in CONTENT\map_nt, then use the map changer!

Awesome. THanks Chuck!

I use your Mod since Version 3 and its great.

Now I`ve seen there`s a Pioneer Update to 4.X. How can I install this quicky over your Mod.

Put TA maps in CONTENT\map and NT maps in CONTENT\map_nt, then use the map changer!

Hmmm well that didn't work. I moved the NT map from the Content\Maps folder and put it in the Content\map_nt. Restarted and the only map avail under the changer is the TA.

I copied the NT map back to Content\Map and Im now using the Navteq map again. Strange that the mapchanger won't see it.

I have been trying to get this to take on my system and it just won't. I put the SD card in and boot the system up, but it goes black after the splash screen and does nothing. Is there a way to force the new software onto the system? I have a x910bt

Try putting the maps_nt folder into apl2/Igo/content and see if that works.

make sure your SD is freshly formatted, I have seen that happen with a "dirty" card.

At the root of your SD you should have 2 folders,

Testmode

My Flash Disk

Anymore or any less can cause you problems. When you are having problems keep it simple.

You know that there are many files for the maps right? I just noticed that on a couple of different posts you mentioned putting the NT map into a folder.

Here is a partial diagram of how the SD Card containing the update is setup, with a subset of the maps that I need.

I hope it helps.

THanks Fusion. I"ll have another look at that!. I only had just the Florida map in there and it seemed to work so I assumed I didn't need any of the other files such as the

North_America_NT_Easy_2010.Q4_110426.hnr

North_America_NT_Fast_2010.Q4_110426.hnr

I'm trying to install the Daftia 3.6 mod on my avic f900. i donwloaded the file, extracted it, put file on sd card. then i go to car, insert card, turn car/avic on, and nothing happens... no screen to pick version. how do i get it to auto install????

or how do i install manually? i can browse the sd card and move whatever file i need to, but dont know what needs to be copied and pasted to where. any help is much appreciated.

(f900bt with hacked 3.0 installed, software bypass, no nag screens. using a mac computer incase that matters)

When I try to install this it tells me I am 16mb short on my Flash Disk and need to delete some files.

I backed them up already but which are safe to delete?

I deleted a few files not in a folder but when I go to install it tells me it cannot create the directory Users/Go or something along those lines?

Any ideas?

Cheers

Figured it out...deleted the Hawaii POI and Maps and got it installed.

Once it is done installing however the progress box went green and just sat there so I restarted and all seems well

Cheers man, like the new music layout too!

Now I just wish the AVIC would shuffle music better as every music DVD I use ALWAYS ends up playing the same pack of 5 or so tunes in the same order every hour...irritating.

Hi Diaftia..

I have attached the EZRider file from the new 4.001000 firmware posted on the EU pioneer site... I was just wondering if you could modify it with your high elevation mod and the ability to run any maps like you did with the older one you posted.

It is based of IGo Version 8.3.2.188283
