Damn, I started to have problem with the key sound and voice, in fact, no sound at all when in Primo, even after restoring the previous sys.txt and "save" folder.

Any clue?

No, I have been running with Primo for a month or so now with no issues. I see there are entries for sound in the data.zip under config\devieces\pioneer749uc, for example. The list below denotes what files exist there. Maybe enter in the sys.txt what your device is? eg:

[device]

;type="PIONEER746UC" ; US F700/900/710/910

;type="PIONEER746EW" ; Euro F700/900/710/910

;type="PIONEER749EW" ; Euro F500

type="PIONEER749UC" ; US F500

;type="pioneer avic-f500ew"

;type="pioneer avic-f500uc"

;type="pioneer avic-f900ew"

;type="pioneer avic-f900uc"

Take away the ; for your device and put a ; in front of the others.

Hi,

I have the European version and the sound is not.

GPS - almost constantly just looking for ....

No lucks! I don't know what was happening. No sound!

When I exit Primo with the Power icon, the unit reboots! This didn't happen before but now is everytime ... in TestMode it doesn't reboot but still no sound, everything are unmuted!!!

Everything else works though.

ryar, you said that you tried Primo 1.2 and didn't like it. Can you share the link for 1.2? I am tired with the sound problem of v1.1.

Thanks.

Mine always rebooted when exiting with power buton, just minimize didn't reboot the unit. Are you sure that is new behavior?

I will shortly, just have to make sure it is stable.

Did your GPS ever get a fix? Did you modify the sys.txt to identify your unit? (see post 27). What model is your AVIC?

[device]

type="PIONEER746EW"

When the car is at rest, the GPS is fixed - then it works.....

P. S. I apologize for my English

Patper:

Modify the sys.txt with:

[gps]

port=7

baud=9600

Reboot: when I first install your Primo 1.1, no reboot; no it reboots, even with the original files, even after restoring "SAVE" folder or delete "SAVE" folder. Definitely weired!

Sound: I used to have sound with your first Primo 1.1 files, then no sound, then back again (remember someone ask me to check the muted button, and it was not muted but no sound at that time, then back without any change, I think?).

Primo 1.2: I found it somewhere and run fine, but still no sound! .

For sound, maybe try set language to ENGLISH (us) in regional. Also, make sure your unit is not muted in Chuck's mod before launching.

Well, finally found the gimmick for the sound to work again.

Very simple and I found that out purely at random, after inserting an USB key with music in that and the A/V was automatically looking to play those songs, and the Primo sound went back to life!

So USB, SD (or maybe iPod) music has to be played when running Primo to have sound, but Radio alone is not enough.

Weired behavior but that is it!

Enjoy!

Wow, good find!

New download on the 1st page, changes include:

AVICmod 09.13.11 - Updated to Primo version 1.2, new GJ skin included. Hard buttons working, but only when booting off testmode on SD. Voices omitted, see post #2 for links. All TTS Pro voices now working!

It seems as though Primo is passing through the hard buttons and not recognizing them. Menu takes you to the stock menu, no way to get back though. I think I'm gonna be booting off SD from now on, the hard buttons are sure nice to have! I played with the [debug] catch_all_keys = 0 ; 0=No 1=Yes (I suppose) command but with no luck getting them working. Any ideas how to get Primo to use the buttons?

It looks like killing the MainMenu.exe process allows Primo to control the hard buttons, even when launching through Chuck's mod. Please test it and provide feedback to those without a f500bt and use your units for music/ect

ryar, do you mean that even the MAP button is working after terminating MainMenu.exe?

How about the TEL.exe applcation, no more access to bluetooth?

How to switch to AV.exe now?

Thanks.

ryar, thank you for sharing ...

Is GJA's skin for v1.2 having the same look and feel as the one (v2.6) for Primo v1.1?

Map is within Primo, brings you to navigation menu. Tel and AV are still running, not sure how to access them however. The download in post #1 does not include a kill for mainmenu. It looks like it may be a compromise at this point.

It looks great, most GJ settings are controlled through Map Settings now.

Ryar, take a look at this link:

You're welcome!

Unfortunately, looks like that the Primo 1.x sound channel that routed to the device hardware is only opened when the SD, USB or iPod (USB too) is playing.

Since the radio is something that is playing only a couple of seconds after the car is ON (if radio source was selected before turning OFF the car), it doesn't need a Windows driver in order to work, where the explanation laid upon. This makes perfect sense, at least in my case.

Thanks, it looks similar to the AEKMapScan I used to map the buttons in the sys.txt. It seems as though all buttons are passed through Primo to the Pioneer shell when the MainMenu is running. In this case the menu button brings up the Top Menu (where there is no way to return to Primo) and all other buttons are non-functional. When MainMenu is not running Primo uses the sys.txt mappings which allows the buttons to work. I really don't know where to go from here! We really need to find where the buttons are controlled when the MainMenu program is running, so we can set them up properly. Ideally if we can do this we can map the "Menu" button to minimize Primo (easy to do inside the Primo's sys.txt, it would be xC4 = "Minimize"), and the "Map" button to Maximize leaving the "MainMenu" running in the background (Would be xC3 = "SWITCH_MAP_COCKPIT" if Primo controls the buttons while minimized). I dug through Leetlauncher and the Russian mod to try and find how they mapped the buttons differently but didn't see anything obvious. I guess i'll play around some more when I have some time, in the meanwhile if someone knows what file controls the buttons, please share!

Also, when the MainMenu process is closed I can verify music still plays (tried off SD on my f500bt) and the volume is controlled by Primo. The volume dial even works with the pesky MainMenu process killed!

ryar, how to select a new SKIN, like the one by GJA in Primo?

In v1.2, I don't have the fancy interface by GJA as in v1.1 GJA 2.6.

Is SKIN different than SCHEME?

Thanks.

Go to settings, Display, then choose GJ_AK v3 10.0 Day for day and GJ_AK v3 10.0 Night for night. Restart Primo and the overview interface will be the new skin. Also, go to Sound and Warnings, voice recognition and disable voice recognition. This feature does not work (on anyone's unit regardless of make) unless it comes stock. It will remove the microphone icon on the overview screen. After choosing a Voice language that is a TTS Voice (street names announced) you can enable TTS Pro features (Read out route summary, ect).

A bit confused: Is SKIN different than SCHEME?

What are the differences?

The Skin is the same as the Scheme so far as I know. GJ labeled it a a skin in mobile passion, but it is a file that goes into the Scheme folder.
