thanks to somniac, i got a bit further on my u310bt, (not using condi hackmode stuff... i just want switchable nav between igo and stock.)

I suspect NEventWatcher.exe may be lockign the comport.

I was able to do a basic test with a mortscript to do a simple reg change followed by a reboot to "remap" the comport and take it away from stock nav. If i intercept HMIManager after the hack and load igo8, it works and sees comport on 4. However, if i do that, none of the control overlays/daemons have loaded yet. So then I intercept something further downstream - like navi.exe, and i see the av controls/overlays, but then igo8 doesnt completely load up (crashes i think with access violation).

currentport = RegRead("HKLM", "\Drivers\BuiltIn\GPS_HWCOM", "Index")
If (currentport = 2)
RegWriteDWord("HKLM", "\Drivers\BuiltIn\GPS_HWCOM", "Index", 4)
Reset
EndIf
Run("\Storage Card\iGO8\iGO8.exe")

perhaps i need to intercept further upstream or maybe different exe friend of hmimanager

Pionara, I replace the Bluetooth Phone executable - tel.exe and its stable with both Pioneer AV and Igo8 and/or explorer running. However as you would guess, bluetooth phone no longer works.

I'm happy with this as I don't use the phone functionality. I've found that its stable only when I replace either tel.exe or av.exe so you end up loosing one piece of functionality.

I've tried HmiManager, pserver and navi and with each teh unit eventually hangs/crashes after either switching to AV and back or when Igo8 runs for a while.

Also I only run Igo8 via mortscript when I have booted into the additional apps options - VisualClock or Photo Viewer (available to download for the F320BT and upgraded F130BT) which replace the Navi.exe when you start them (after a boot). This is because Navi.exe takes up a lot of RAM and Igo struggles to run in whats left.

What it does mean is that I can boot into the standard Pioneer Navi + AV as normal or reboot into Visual Clock + Igo8 and/or Explorer (alternate between the two)

I suspect NEventWatcher.exe may be lockign the comport.

Very likely, but you'll probably need NEventWatcher.exe active for AV.exe/Tel.exe/MainMenu.exe to work. If the current U/F/Z generation is anything like the F90BT, then I think you need NEventWatcher.exe alive in order for the Navi board to communicate back to the uCom device on the AV board to do all your system tasks (switch audio source, control the eVolume chip, etc). This is done over one of the COM or USARTs (see the Service Manual for the schematic that details which port connects to the uCom).

Thanks somniac and others...

got avic-apps hack working to run igo8 w/ gps on u310bt... may work for other models that use the similar crappy navi.exe setup (diff platform may need a diff patch on AppsLib.dll - Z series?)

details: #73

So FourG, is there any kind of "apps mode" for other F series like f310/320/u310 with newer firmwares?

This seems to work out better as I can still get all the overlays/controls with the desired app running underneath.

Turns out that i didnt have to kill anything but as somniac points out, it's better with app-mode since navi.exe isnt running.

minor downside is that advanced options/settings are not available until you exit/boot back to normal mode

I have also an F700BT with fx3.1 which works ok, but would be interesting to get some app menu running.

No idea, I've not considered moving on from the F90BT, it will be the last Pioneer Navi I purchase after the poor software experience. My next install will probably be a dedicated carputer (I went with F90BT to try to avoid that time-sink but in the end I would have ended up with what I wanted and a much more open platform to customize if I had).

Hey man, did u try use vr.exe instead Tel.exe? at my unit have a voice butom , and i belive its call the vr.exe, maybe u can change and get tet av and igo working !

how make changes in reg to free my com port after reboot ( we cant change the ce image ), and when get CE Explorer all registry inf are alredy loaded??

Hello If someone does get to work in F20 BT with Igo8 full extent?

The instructions for the U310BT is not the same for our device.

With Launcher I wanted to try, but it did not work.

Or am I doing something wrong?

greet

so i think the f20bt euro version of z120bt? is that right?

If somebody can provide me with a dump of the flash, i can take a look and see if there is some similar appmode, or if it's hidden in another directory.

Does this avic unit use AVIC-APPS folder on SD card?

Hello

It's true. F20BT Euro- version.

No it's not on SD-Kate. in flash memory

so does anybody have a dump of My Flash Disk (or similar) for this unit with the apps on it?

How does pioneer load any new apps on this? Is it done through avic (or navgate) feeds pc app and sd card?

Patrick,

on the F320BT/F310BT the exe I think your refering to is called voice.exe. I haven't tried replacing it with iGO because I assumed that without it there would be no voice navigation.

I'll try it this weekend (busy at the moment) and let you know.

Somniac.

Look here

When we replace SD card using eject button- unit reboots itself (it is normal behaviour of this unit) can someone check if it is still remembers registry changes? It appears booting faster then "cold" boot. may be it is way to "soft reset" we looking for?

Ralpharn, not sure if you are doing this, but you can make reg edits and soft-reset (retaining reg-edits) with mortscripts...

if i remenber, the voice funcition control playback, volume skip tracks and a lot of things, and at first start after reboot the unti ask for load, i think is better of lost tel !

Hi

it is with big interest I read about all your hard work with enabeling the GPS port, to be able to run alternativ Navi software.

I have no mod/hack skoll what so ever, but I was thinking.....would it be possible to, in hackmode, enable bluetooth and connect a bluetooth GPS ?

This way you do not need the build in GPS port.. or maybe a USB GPS, so that bluetooth telephony were still possible..

This is just a thought......

Novac

Hi,

I just bought the F930BT, anyone got it working on this unit?

I followed the instructions on the first page, but after I deleted test.key, and reboot, the unit just keep rebooting itself and doesn't go any further.

f930bt? i think this is euro version of x930bt... Have a look in the X-series section of the forum...

f930bt? i think this is euro version of x930bt... Have a look in the X-series section of the forum...

Yes F930BT. OK I manage to get into hackmode now, think problem might be how my mac handle zip files?

Anyway does anyone know how to execute .cab files?

I am trying to run a cab file that copy asian fonts to windows

http://avic411.com/index.php?showtopic=17004

This cab files works on my F900BT, but when I double click on my F930BT it does nothing.

I am desperate to get chinese fonts on my system (don't know why I took the risk and bought another Avic) otherwise all

my songs tags are shown square boxes.

hi

this hack works on a avic-930bt?

Hack mode load up but can't really do anything.

Can't copy files, can't execute (exe), nothing in control panels works.

Taskmanager, reg editor, and sirftech works I think.

HOO nooo

I win one AVIC F930 in ebay per 605€ new.

Is possible update the maps somehow?

f930bt is similar to x930bt... look over in X-series forums...

The F930 is not the X series - it is the EU hardware/software equivalent of the Z130 - if it's a 930, that should be the latest SW (but it is hacked - so you can load updates).
