I updated the download in post #1. If you had a previous version of Primo 1.2, all you need are the files from the previous post. The file is now <100 MB (not including the TTS files)
Chuck, I added the old ui_pioneer files to for now (you mentioned the bmp files were missing from the files you provided earlier), just until you finish updating you autolaunch. If you prefer I can remove them and direct people to your post/thread to obtain the files there.
Thanks ryar. 
Gentlemen, please help with GPS. Still it lasts, if it gets going and return to Priimo - still looking for GPS! What am I doing wrong??
Thanks.
Do you get a GPS fix in Chuck's mod? Is the screenshot you posted in post #13 the same problem you are having now?
Patper, check you GPS antenna! If you say the GPS is working fine when you're stopped, then this is not software related. If the antenna is not obstructed and can see the sky, then it might be some wiring faults or connection problem or worst, your AVIC is broking down.

The BMP file is the same as the one provided to you, so you can safely pack it in my UI to provide autolaunch capability, in the meantime.
Later.

GPS antenna is (hopefully) cool - on IGO8 works perfectly!
I reinstalled the whole Avic - Primo works!. When driving a fine.
But on the way back again looking for .... 
If you're seeing a open sky when that happens, then I don't know what to say my friend!

Patper, looks at this message and follow-up, it might save your day for the GPS issue: http://www.mobilepassion.org/viewtopic.php?f=73&t=6026&sid=2b309362feba3a1b02b2682a44fa5873&start=2080
Hi all,
I finally found the gimmick again for the AVIC X710BT rebooting after exiting from Primo v1.2 (same for all units???), either the navigation is completed or user-requested exit: play radio (or A/V turned OFF) is not good enough, you have to have USB or SD or iPod playing to prevent rebooting!
However, you can just switch to SD or USB or iPod then go back to radio (or turned OFF???), there is no rebooting neither! As long as the audio channel is opened with SD/USB/iPod, it will be OK thereafter.
Unlike ryar, I don't have rebooting problem after exiting Primo in TestMode, though.
Chuck!
With thanks to ryar, my setup is now completely functional, with soft and hard key to swtich between MainMenu and Primo. Below is my CwGoPrimo.mscr file contents:
kill ("ezrider")
kill ("ezrider.exe")
waitfor ("MortScript V4.2", -1)
SendOK
Run ("\My Flash Disk\APL2\Primo\extension\AEKMap\AEKMapScan.exe" )
sleep 2000
kill ("AEKMapScan.exe")
Run ("\My Flash Disk\APL2\Primo\extension\AEKMap\AEKMap.exe" )
Run ("\My Flash Disk\APL2\Primo\extension\Button\button.exe")
Run ("\My Flash Disk\APL2\Primo\Primo.exe" )
Attached is the complete set of files that I use now, and I made real Primo icon at the bottom-center of the MainMenu. The missing Primo BMP file is also included as well as the new scripts UI files are also included.
Good lucks.
Chuck88 - Thank you!

Makes sense, I never have an SD card in hence the reboots. Note that I do not reboot in testmode after exiting, and never did.

It looks good Chuck, thanks. Note the hard keys are not fully functional and that is why I took out the AEkmapscan and AEKmap launch upon start (CwGoPrimo.mscr). Your volume control will work, but only Primo's volume control (eg. main units volume is set to 10 of 20, Primo volume 100%, the dial will not increase the main volume above 10 of 20). It is also buggy when pressing the Map or Menu buttons while in AV (Pimo screen or Main Menu screen come up, but when the screen is tapped it brings you back to AV). Also, the right/left on the knob no longer change song, ect but only rotate the screen. Anyways, I didn't feel the keymap would be best for everyone so I left the option up to the user (HardKeyTest).
I updated the main download to include your UI_pioneer folder yesterday; if anyone is running with a another mod besides Chuck's do not copy this folder onto your unit (or you can copy the entire My Flash Disk from the main download and delete the APL2\iGo\ui_pioneer folder).
ryar, you're probably right about the problem with volume and next/prev songs controls (I have to check again mine when AEkmapscan was launched) ... I didn't have to use them because the steering wheel controls that I have.
So for those of you who want native functions of the hard key buttons, please use ryar's CwGoPrimo.mscr, as follow:
kill ("ezrider")
kill ("ezrider.exe")
waitfor ("MortScript V4.2", -1)
SendOK
Run ("\My Flash Disk\APL2\Primo\extension\Button\button.exe")
Run ("\My Flash Disk\APL2\Primo\Primo.exe" )

That X710BT sounds like a neat little machine, maybe it is time to upgrade from my F500BT

OK then, sorry, and that makes lot of sense now.

Well the steering wheel control doesn't come with the X710BT; there is another $100 or so. Please note that X710BT doesn't have traffic info, so if you're in Europe, get the X910BT instead for TMC, which is a much better alternative for the upcoming Primo 2.0 (traffic-sensitive routing).
ryar, I am working to replace the function of the Destination Menu icon (240x240 pixels) of the MainMenu (once Primo was launched), to have the same function as your button.exe.bmp. But this depends ultimately on the Image.res that you're using.
Did you ever try that before?

Yeah, we get screwed in Canada. No traffic info on MSN direct and no TMC

No, it was on the to do list but I am lost looking inside all those UI files. That would be awesome!

No ryar, not UI scripting! All you have to do is to use the same technique as the actual Button.exe and create a new one of 240x240, in the same position as the Destination Menu big icon.

Microsuck!!!

Aha! Well, that wouldn't be so bad. I'll give it a shot!

Well, the BMP should be 480x240, normal and pushed icon. I will test it myself.

Hows this? A little too big maybe (640x300)?
ryar, it has to be 480x240, or it will not fit.
I have mine working now and will upload tomorrow or so (from my car).

Aw, I finished it before reading your post mentioning that it should be 480x240. It doesnt look too bad, it overlaps the "Destination" text and matches the black background theme of the top menu.
