Condi,

 

Back when I was playing around with MioPocket there was a program on there that would allow you to run a slew of different gps programs. It is(was) called port splitter. Anyone tried using that to get the GPS going?

Already tried two port splitter apps... no success. You've got modified port splitter and gpsgate in latest version of hackmode. Its not that easy... unfortunatelly

hey guys,

fala ciro!!!

i am trying to find out if it'll be possible to get gps working on z130bt (US) here in australia by adding files from a f30bt (AU)

Have a look at this post here. if you can answer any questions please help. Will help with my purchase decision.

can anyone help with location/upload of these files? can anyone confirm this has worked like it did on ciro's f220??

Ciro,

i did a quick search on the .br pioneer website and did not find the f30bt or z130bt, or th x930bt z930bt. do you know if these are available? can you help me get the language or br portuguese TTS (text to speech) files???

I'm in the same situation at the moment, I think someone has been able to upgrade the z110bt to a UK spec f20bt but I don't think Pioneer has released any updates for the f20-f30bt (which I assume would be needed to do z120bt - F30bt). Ralpharn seems to be making good progress, we might be able to just swap the maps with ones from an AU F30bt which would be ideal. We just need to get the maps to give it a go.

Hi friends! i just replace the map files from the avic u220, and the map works perfect but i can't make the search, when i try to select the city in the search, this not open the cities and return to the map screen!

I have same problem with search.

Do you have red map problem when you close up to 500 meters? If not, can you please tell me what folders did you replaced?

Hi

Tomorrow I will recive my new AVIC-F30BT unit

Can I do a "software mod bypass" on it, if I use Hackmode v.1.4?

rgs.

I have same problem with search.

Ralpharn ! just replace the folder with with letter and numbers ex: 00,01,02..... 0A,0B .... leave the all original folders SKY ... FE ... and the all others! but the search doesn't works! Ciro can make the Pioneer full works with other maps but he just make this here in Brazil, and he want $180USD to make the Z130 full works with Brazilian maps, i believe he not send for anyone the secret, the people here help he to make this works and now he charges to do this, but just do not think that

Im having big problems trying to get this testmode/hackmode to work on my x920bt us edition.  I have followed the steps many many times.  But The h/u just reboots.  Has anybody with a x920bt US H/U got this to actually work?

I retraced my steps and found my problem.  And I can confirm that the mod works fine on x920 BT.  Now I will try some of my old Win CE files from my PDA days and see what works and what does not.

So you have FE from your Z130 intacked, is it? interesting... because it has MAP folder inside with PARCELFE.LFT ans 2DCITYFE.LFT in it, like any other number-letter folder. Ok, but I'll give it a go. %))

yes is it! , but the search donsent works! maps ok!

So is anyone going to be doing skinning for these?

I have been speaking with one of my friends and he give me suggestion that our GPS port is not occupied but it is non-standard one and it uses it's own protocol. Does someone know software that can read state of the ports and put results to logfile. Imagine: first we run this programm and then start official software and after a while we reboot and got logfile with request to and responds from GPS.

Hi Rafa!

I Talk with ciro last week and he said to me download the avic feeds on iPhone and search and save the adress on iPhone avic feed, paring the iPhone with the z130 after this search for a contact on the gps select the saved adress with avic feeds and it's done! Now you can navigate to yours destination! The unique problem is always make this and save many adress on the iPhone but this works very wheel

I think that the problem is that gps port is already 'busy', before the Navi software starts. But we could make some kind of trace/debug of the Navi.exe and find out how it grants access of gps port? The question is what and how to use? And is it possible.. And what would be the next step..

Hmm... maybe we could get gps port free if we could stop/restart 'gps port device' ?

I thought about Dotfred's TaskMgr and its 'Device Manager' - Start/Stop device, - Set automatic or manual, - Find device settings in registry. Worth a try...

Or maybe gps is used by some running service? (start-stop Service Manager)

Will take a look into this, this weekend..

Let's think a bit... Some piece of software keep GPS port occupied before any Pioneer staff starts, Is it sit in Windows? and why it keeps port occupied?

Option one: It is only protecting from hacks. When official navi starts this program release port and it will be occupied by navi software. How it checks that navi program running? should we try to run our own navi.exe and check if port have been released? Can we kill official navi program process after few seconds without restarting unit? and check ports?

Option two: this "uncatchable software" collect and combine signals from gyro and speed sensor and feed data to official navi using something like IPC. Can we spy comunication between programs what they exchanges? or we need to debug navi program...

1) as far as i remember i tried to run navi.exe, kill it after a while and run my gps software - there was almost always crash/freeze of the device. We could try that again, with some other methods of killing process.

2) You wrote that some software collect and combine signal - in past i was analyzing iGO settings in sys.txt - it can be configured to get gps signal from file - our devices are creating few files with gps signal log. I dont remember exactly the name of that files (it was some time ago..), but you can check it via testmode or hackmode. One of my ideas was to configure iGO to get gps position from that files, but i've abandoned it - dont want to work only with iGO - we want to get gps free for all ) but this could be a good start...

our devices are creating few files with gps signal log.

Can PortSpliter read GPS position from such pipefile and output it to unused port? or some other software?

anyway... Do you remember how to configure Sys.txt for IGO? (I would be happy if I can use IGO8.3)

sorry if this has been discussed before, but im not about to read through 35 pages to see. this problem happens very often, where when i go to start the car, the radio will be in the off source instead of the last source that it was left at like the iPod. other that lil nagging issue it works perfect.. i do wonder though if some of the menus in windows where not enabled? like i cant access control panel or cant set a desktop background?

when i go to start the car, the radio will be in the off source instead of the last source that it was left at like the iPod...

please ask in General

As far as I know no hidden options discovered yet.

why? this issue is related to this hack. as it never done it before the hack. mind you that Ive had the radio for a good 5 months now and just in this last 3 weeks its had the hack done. and im not even asking about hidden options. im asking about visible options that are not accessible.

it wasn't clear from your first post here that issue appeared after this hack. What version of the hack are you using? I know it was some issues with V1.2 where HMI Manager.exe was replaced. but after it was reverted back to AV.exe it was no knows issues. But what you describe - it looks like handbrake wire is not grounded.

im sorry but you're way off track with the handbrake. im running 1.4. if you re read my post, you will see this happens when the radio turns on for the first time. now im not trying to be a penis here, but how does the handbrake ground come into play with the radio booting? i mean im not some forum noob that goes and posts random poop in other threads that have no relation to the original topic. and the other things that im mentioning, when it boots into the condi hack, i would like to be able to access the control panel and such. but it doesn't let me.

First: Relax mate! No one wants to offend you

I haven't seen problem like you described with 1.4 hack. So please describe your situation here, what unit do you have? what region? did you applied bypass hack to it? and ... I know you don't like it, but I had similar problem when I had handbreak wire fell from ground connector (I have my unit sitting on my workbench) and I had lot of options greyout. Check my posts here and it is easy to check without taking your unit out, just try any video file - if it plays- it is not handbrake issue but if it doesn't - ckeck phisical wire connection.
