Looking at the my flash disk files from avicnet2.1, the sys.txt is for the euro model. I'm going to try flipping it to the US model and then attempt to reload the bluetooth software. Will report back tomorrow...

Cool, looks like you're on the right track. As for my getting English turned on, still no luck after 3 tries. Perhaps it may have to do with how the system is restarted after copying over the MFD? There's either the physical restart button, the restart icon on the WinCE desktop, or just shutting off power. I'd think that the icon would be best at closing things down gracefully, but I'm pretty certain I've used that on at least one of my tries. I'm just not getting the expected process to choose your options on the first boot up.

Success!!!!!!!

It looks like the bluetooth problem is because of the model mismatch between sys.txt and the unit. I copied the sys_746UC.txt file to sys.txt in \apl2\igo (backing up existing sys.txt) and reloaded the flash disk (probably not required but i had messed around with the bluetooth dlls and tel.exe and wanted a fresh start). The unit started up, did some stuff, rebooted, did it again, rebooted again and all the AvicNet submenus were in english by default. Then just had to change the avic system settings to english. Went into the phone settings, went to bluetooth update, and the version was now there (the 3.3 version). Set the phone up no problem and its working like a charm.

One last bug, for some reason when I try to go to the SD card as the AV source, I'm not seeing anything. Gonna mess around and see what the issue is there.... but my sirius, ipod, am, fm, everything else, is working fine... will report back!

EDIT: I think it's just trying to scan all the files on the SD card. When in the detail view, it says "Now Loading"... maybe just taking a while... gonna let it run.

EDIT2: So I let it sit for about a half hour and it's still not finding any music on the SD card. If I load up total commander, you can see the SD card and the mp3s on it so I'm not sure what the issue is. Any ideas?

Thanks for the find! Just loaded it with the fixed sys.txt and looks like I'm in the exact same boat as you now. Got it English for the iGO and main menus, Bluetooth is working fine, but it just stays on the "Now Loading" for SD music. I'll poke around through the forums for a bit so see where that is configured.

I also tried out Primo, but that's still in Italian. Hard to find a settings menu to switch it to English. Doesn't seem to be picking up the maps either. I'll also search the forums for that to see if there's some help somewhere with Primo menus.

Still thinking that Ryar's version might be fine and hopefully doesn't have any of these issues, however the links at the beginning of the thread are no longer allowing downloads. So if anyone has a copy it'd be greatly appreciated.

So, do any of you smarties want to make a little program to run for a dash cam?

Thanks! Though this looks to be just the Primo 1.0 addon. Anyone have the main North American package (AVICNETenglishNA.rar) and Primo 2.0 addon?

Thanks,

I found this thread and someone who seems to have addressed the issue:

http://avic411.com/i...post__p__146018

I'm not sure I fully understand what he did. Seems to basically not have upgraded the "PLT" folder.

EDIT: I really don't know what this "PLT" folder is. I don't see it in the AvicNet files. Any idea what it is?

PMS: Did you delete the device.nng file from your sd card after the update? Apparently it's a file that identifies your device. I'm wondering if it doesn't need to be recreated (which happens automatically if its not found) based on the new firmware version we are running. I'm going to give it a try tonight, but let me know please if you get a chance to try that before I do and if it works for you.

Does anyone have a link to the avicnetEnglish Euro version ?

They're over at the Italian forums:

http://pioneernavgate.blogfree.net/?t=3453274

The links to the 3 .rar's were also posted a few posts above somewhere...

Thanks...I already have that one....but I think it's a modified version....

I was looking for the original one done by ryar .... the links on page 2 no longer work ....

No dice with the device.nng being the issue with the SD card. Removed it, restarted the unit, it was recreated, same issue. Tried another SD card, still the same issue.

I went through the entire My Flash Disk and I do not see any folders named "PLT". I found a zip I had of a 3.0 update, and it looks like the PLT folder was just a folder in the update that contained the WinCE upgrade images. So basically the guy in the thread I referenced above just reloaded the "My Flash Disk" a few times and it worked.

Back to the drawing board to find the root cause. I have one suspicion again b/c AvicNet 2.1 is based off the Euro version... the images/icons for Sirius and XM are no where to be found. I'm wondering if there's not something else removed as well that is just indirectly preventing the AV player from loading the directory listing. I'm going to download the latest NA version from Pioneer and do a compare... something's gotta be missing or Euro specific that's causing this....

EDIT: At first glance the entire VBT folder in \APL2 is missing from AvicNet which I believe is the voice recognition screen. XM folder in DATA is definitely missing as well.

Hello ryar,

I have read what you wrote and I'm sorry if you thought this.

However I have updated my guide on the Italian forum, quoting your name in the OBD program.

As has also written Mach1Chris, I had already quoting avic411 in the guide and in various posts of the thread.

Believe me, it wasn't my intention to get a merit that I haven't, I only translated the program in Italian. My only intention is, and remains, to share with as many people as possible these great mod for our nav, I never asked a cent and I never will, only then you could give me of thief... don't you think?

Fair enough. Take what you will, all I ask is you give credit to those who have worked hard and were kind enough to share with others.

I uploaded the version of avic net 2.1 which I have been using for the past few months. I trimmed it down and only included Primo 1.0 and 2.0, gone are OziExplorer, Garmin, and TomTom. The driver for the OBD II reader now auto-loads so you don't have to run the driver CAB file every time you hard reset. Details are on post #1. Please post any bugs you find. Note Primo 2.0 still does not have working sound regardless of sound or working hard buttons; Primo 1.0 has these features working which is why I left it in. You can now use the avicnet menus while Primo 2.0 is running. Enjoy!

Edit: I hope this works for both NA and EURO users (I can confirm if does for a NA unit), please post and let me know if you are having any issues.

Make sure to read the change log!

Thanks Ryar.Great that you are still continuing to share your work with us.

Thanks Ryar, I'll give it a shot. Hopefully it solves the SD card issue I'm having. Few questions:

1) Is the uploaded version defaulted to NA setup? ie: is the sys.txt for the "UC" version?

2) Are the XM files and VBT files included?

3) Are you using an F900BT? If not, which model?

Thanks!

Thank you ovalball for continuing to answer questions and help others in these forums! I'm glad there is still interest here and that with our "old" avic units we are able to run programs such as Primo and Hob Drive which even the newest aftermarket in-dash GPS units are incapable of doing (thanks to manufacturers going out of their ways to make them mod-proof). Long live the AVIC411 community!

The device is selectable in the sys.txt. It is set by default: type="PIONEER746UC"

The VBT files are included (APL2\VBT), I am not sure about the XM files however. Where are they usually located? Note this mod is Russian originally so it may take some work to get it to work fully-functional with our NA units. How is XM/Sirius running off our units? I just use a portable unit and connect it via an AV cable.

I use a NA F900BT in my car but also have a F700BT and 2 F500BTs for testing. I can't help myself when a unit is stuck in a boot loop and sells on ebay for dirt cheap

Thanks for the reply, Ryar. I'll give it a shot tonight. XM is in \DATA\XM. I thought there was a Sirius folder too but looking at a full backup I had there isn't. The Sirius integration on these things is so garbage, no channel icons, nothing. Really regretting giving my brother my XM adapter and switching to Sirius haha.

Awesome, thanks ryar for the update. Really appreciate all the effort guys like you put into making my impulse buy easier to justify to my wife. To be honest though, I was shocked to discover that she doesn't see the importance of being able to monitor fuel trim and throttle percentage on the dash.

Oh well. I appreciate it. Thanks!

I'll be installing your 2.1 tonight.

Hi Ryar:

I backup my current My Flash Drive which has AvicNet and then I deleted it to install Avic 2.1 that you have posted on page one. Couple of issues came up:

1. I am some trouble loading the maps under Avic 2.1. I did copied over the maps and licenses. When I finally got to the navigation screen, Some of the buttons on the screen did not work such as settings etc. So I can't make any changes to the navigation.

2. I have access to AVIC radio programs but It does not highlight the buttons for Navigation and System settings (it is greyed out).

So I ended up deleting the flash drive and reinstalled my backup and it works fine.

Any ideas what I should be looking for? I live in Minnesota so I use USA Maps

Hey Jimbo,

I live in Canada and the only thing I altered with Ryar's flashdisk was adding the Canada map and POI's so I believe the licensing is fine as is. I haven't had too much time to play around with it yet, but it did seem pretty solid so far. Actually, I also added back the TTS voice files, but I don't think that would cause your issues. I completely cleared my flashdisk before copying over. I have a F900BT and I think that's what Ryar's flashdisk is defaulted to, so if you have a different model, you may need to edit the sys.txt file?

I did edit the sys.txt after installing. It is just weird that I can't access the settings. I believe If I can access the settings, I can get it working. I have a FT90BT also. I am wondering if the GPS is off but again I can't get into the settings.

Any other ideas?

I may just clear out the flash dish and try again. Thanks for the suggestions!

Jimbo

Hi,

I tried the Avicnet with the italian settings... I can confirm that the idea is very good.. Now I'm planing to use Ryars AVICNET. The only thing that I need is changing the Interface to German... I managed to get IGO in german but the other settings still in english and italian... Is there anyone who managed to use everything in german or who knows which filles do I need to get everything in german?

Thanks for your help

Hi Jimbo, the only time I noticed greyed out settings is when the bypass was not done properly ie. ground the e-brake, ect. Did you do a software bypass previously? I can't really think of any other reason these settings are greyed out for you.

Hey all, stummbled onto this thread and OBDII caught my eye! Any chance this would work on a AVIC Z120BT? hack mode already done thanks to Condi's work, I would LOVE to be able to display OBDII info and mileage on my 120BT!
