Thank you for your work Ryar!!!

The only problem - does not work parot - software found ....

Thank you Patrik

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.

That was my first thought. I did wipe out the flash drive and reinstalled AvicNet 2.1 again. Same thing. The navigation buttons greyed out but all the other buttons is working. Also I noticed that when I went to the nav(map) screen, some of the short cut buttons works but any buttons that works with Navigation or System did not work. So I wiped out the flash drive and re installed backup AvicNet 1 and everything works fine. On another note, do you know the which bmp file is for the AvicNet 2.1 at "Top Menu" screen? It looks nicer than the older AvicNet.

Jimbo

Just writing to say that I've had a chance to go on a few quick trips and Ryar's AvicNet is awesome. I'm even starting to like that Primo 2.0 since the customizations on Igo8 are not what I'm used to and Primo does look much more slick.

I still haven't totally wrapped my head around how to set up the system so everything starts the way I'd like it. Again, I haven't had too much "in-car" time, but I like having HOBD running and switching between it and Primo 2.0. I only just found that "Hard button" setting, but not quite sure how it works. I set it to start HOBD, though it puts a quick start icon which looks like the navigation icon on the main menu. The engine icon is already there, so I guess I'll set it back to the default of loading Primo 2.0.

But then is there a way I can have HOBD start up as well? And I'm totally going to buy the full version. I'm hoping the exe name is the same so I just need to overwrite. If not, I guess I'll need to point some file to something somewhere?

One last observation is Primo 2.0 specific, but my searches haven't hit anything yet.

I play music off the SD mostly so that's cool that Primo sound works, but the music is way too quiet and the only volume setting I've found cranks up the Primo sounds as well. Is there a menu for setting the SD music volume independently, or is it time to edit some config files again?

Thanks,

hey guy, just wondering. I upgraded my X920bt to v3.0, will this mod work on my H.U. ? And will any of the mods in this section work now that I'm on firmware v3.0?

I don't think the version matters, except if there's a minimum requirement so you should be fine. I'm running 3.0. Hardware-wise, I assume that the x920bt is similar enough to the f900bt that it should be okay. I think Ryar has developed it on f500bt and f900bt.

What is the pass for this archive?

What is the pass for this archive?

I got the password from the first page of the Italian AvicNet2.1 thread. It's right next to the download links. However, I can't seem to access the page anymore. Last time I accessed it, I did a Google search for AvicNet 2.1 and clicked on "translate" for the first Italian looking link. Now it comes up with a login page. I just copied and pasted the password so I can't remember what it was.

In any case, I'd recommend Ryar's on the first page of this thread if you have a North American unit. Not only is it tough to get that Italian one running english, but getting bluetooth working takes some sys.txt editing and I don't think we ever figured out how to get SD music working on an NA unit.

Hey.

I'm currently waiting for my F900 to be delivered and I'm trying to figure out what upgrades I should do when it gets here.

Could anyone explain exactly what benefits AVICNet has over the standard Pioneer stuff?

I've had a search around and it looks like a new launcher to use other CE apps, but I'm not sure what else it unlocks...

Well it let's you use Pimo for a start,which in my opinion is better than stock Igo.

Thanks ovalball,

Am I correct in thinking this essentially let you install any CE app and launch it?

I'm trying to determine the differences between this and Chuck88's mod for example, but I'm struggling to figure out what exactly it gives me.

I guess it will all become clear once my device arrives and I can have a play, but I'm eager to learn what other tweaks can be done

I think the only way tobe sure is to try them all.Even now I often revert back to various mods which I haven't run for a while.I do have a favorite but they all seem to offer different things.What ive got now is a collection of SD cards,each with a full back up of MFD and the mods installed on them.It takes less than an hour to swap and theres less chance of messing up!

I really do prefer Primo 2.0 over iGo now, and AvicNet's abilty to run HOBD to show engine stats is really fun.

That being said, I am still experiencing a few quirks with AvicNet. *** solved the volume issue. found under WinCE 'control panel' a volume control that was set low. putting it to max seems to have equalized eveything ***

Also, no matter where I am at in the menu systems or navigation when I shut down, my unit always starts up on the AVSource page of whatever source it's playing. For short trips I just leave it on iGo so I'd prefer it to launch to map. I figure that's got to be configurable, but my searches are not bearing fruit lately. Is there a good thread that discusses the basic iGo menu configuration?

Thanks,

-PMS

I hope it doesn't seem like I'm complaining too much, it's just that I think I'm sticking with AvicNet2.1 so I want to fine tune it as best I can. I've solved a couple things, but there are still things that I don't understand yet.

What's under my skin now is that HOBD seems to take quite a while to start up; not only to start up initially, but if I go to navigation and then go to switch back to HOBD via the engine icon that's on the main menu (cool feature by the way). I am going to try replacing with the full paid version so maybe that could change things, but is there any sort of tweaking that might allow me to switch back and forth a bit quicker?

It's clear these mods are very finicky. For example, starting up Primo2.0 with the Italian version seemed to take twice as long as it does with Ryar's version. I've searched thorugh tons of discussions, but it appears that most of the fine-tuning is done via trial and error.

-PMS

So I finally got around to installing Ryar's version of AvicNet 2.1. Here are my comments in comparison to the Italian version:

- Set up was smooth, no need to flip languages, etc.

- Pre-configured for NA units so I didn't have any bluetooth issues to resolve after installing it

- No issue with accessing music on the SD card, worked perfectly. I never resolved this with the italian verison.

- Has better gps customization/hacks however I'm really not a fan of the fonts and icon layout but this is a personal preference and can be changed.

- Missing carver's hack for the Tel.exe which is a personal choice anyway, so not really a negative. Easy to install anyway.

- Missing the graphic enhancements for all the AV menus that the italian version had, ie: ipod screen, sirius screen, etc. I never played around with this before so I have to do some digging to figure out how to do this as I really liked the enhancements in the italian version.

- Still getting random AvicNet 2.1 initialization screen followed by a reboot when starting up the car. Doesn't always happen, but maybe 1 out of 3 or 4 times it does.

- Still starting up to the main screen instead of the last used AV source screen frequently.

Overall it's better than the italian version so I'm sticking with it. I just have to figure out how to solve my few personal preference quirks and it will be perfect..

I love this mod...it works really well and is very stable.

I mainly use the IGO, occasionaly the Primo and it's good to have the choice......

The only problem I have is that I can't get tts voices to work in IGO.

If I select selena, I get the ding but no announcement.

I have the voice files and the scansoft directory. What am I missing ?

Any chance this would work on a AVIC Z120BT?

hey guy, just wondering. I upgraded my X920bt to v3.0, will this mod work on my H.U. ?

No, so far as I know it will work on the following only: F500BT, F700BT, F900BT, F90BT, X710BT, and X910BT. You can try and launch the HOBD standalone from the winCE desktop, but you will need the drivers installed first. They are in the HOBD package on post #1. Good luck!

The only problem - does not work parot - software found ....

Your welcome Patper! What do you mean by the parot does not work?

On another note, do you know the which bmp file is for the AvicNet 2.1 at "Top Menu" screen?

Jimbo

I believe they are in the MainRes.res

To be honest with you Blankers I never even tried TTS on the stock iGo so I'm not sure why it isn't working. Maybe try copy them onto your unit again, select the non TTS voice, reboot, then select Selena? Beyond that I don't know what else you could try.

I think Ryar has developed it on f500bt and f900bt.

Hi PsychoMcSatan, thanks for all your informative posts. Please note I didn't really develop anything, I just found this Russian mod and translated bits and pieces of it to English, as well as customized some areas of it to suite my needs. The real credit belongs to the Russian geniuses who developed it.

I am also having the issue of the unit starting at the AV screen. I wrote a mortscript file which auto-launches hobdrive then Primo 2.0. I would like to share it, but there are differences in the hobdrive free version and paid version and for some reason the free version slows the unit to a crawl with Primo 2.0 running simultaneously. Also, the task name for the paid version is hobdrive while the free version is /hobd which mortscript simply will not recognize (perhaps the / is messing it up). Anyways, if you find a way to have it launch to the map or main menu screen please share.

I believe the reason hobdrive takes awhile to launch and even display after it is running is because it uses .NET Compact Framework. There is no way around this that I am aware

Hi Mach1Chris, I noticed if the unit is in the process of booting and then the unit is interrupted (key on/off) it will initialize on the next start-up. Could this be the cause of your frequent initializations?

The AV is a pain and I am having the same issue, hopefully someone can figure out how to load to map or main menu.

Has anyone got TTS to work with stock IGO ?

Doing a search, several people seem to have complained of the same problem, but there are no replies with fixes....

Does it work ?

Mine's working. I'm at work so I can't see what I put where, but I'm pretty sure I followed Ryar's instructions that are in the first post or two. He pulled them out to save space so you need to save them from your backup or someone else's mod. Perhaps make sure that they're in place before you start up for the first time afterinstalling AvicNet?

Also, I'm running a North American unit which Ryar's image is configured for. Check sys.txt to make sure the correct version is uncommented. I know this was causing bluetooth issues for me and Mach1Chris and the Italian version.

Good luck.

I think I'll purchase the full version. Should I just clear out the current HOBD directory and plop in the new version or is there an install process?

I've heard this mortscript thing mentioned on a few different threads, but I usually take that as a flag to let me know the discussion has gone over my head. The struggles are actually kind of enjoyable, especially seeing all the new functionality I hadn't even imagined before buying my unit. But my car is in my co-op's underground garage so the back and forth is killing me!

Anyway, thanks again for all the help!

Hi Mach1Chris, I noticed if the unit is in the process of booting and then the unit is interrupted (key on/off) it will initialize on the next start-up. Could this be the cause of your frequent initializations?

I think that's probably the issue. Many car ignitions have this bad habit of dropping the accessory voltage when cranking the engine, so the Avic will start booting when you start turning your key, but then if the voltage drops enough during engine crank (I think less than 10V or something) then it'll start the boot process again.

Mine always did that, but I ended up solving it with the help of another Avic411 thread which had schematics to wire up a batch of 10 rechargable AAs. You can find it by searching for my posts as it took me a couple iterations to get it right.

*** found it here: ***

http://avic411.com/index.php?/topic/19417-ignition-mod-on-f900bt/page__fromsearch__1

You might also avoid your issues by turning the key all the way quickly so the Avic doesn't have enough time start that first boot process.

I believe the reason hobdrive takes awhile to launch and even display after it is running is because it uses .NET Compact Framework. There is no way around this that I am aware

So I paid for the full version and I see there is a Net3.5 version and a standalone version that doesn't need Net3.5. Have you tried both, and if so, which should I be installing?

I've started looking into Mortscript and I'm guessing that I'll need to add some lines into autorun.mscr, but I'm still figuring things out.

It's already too late to be running down to my garage to give it a try tonight. I'll try to sneak some reading in at work tomorrow.

-PMS

Wow this is amazing. LOVE IT!

Only downside is that I am using the maps from 2009 and I run out of space, not a big deal, I just took out the Texas Map, that saved me 79MB, just enough.

Thanks Ryar!
