Question about speed warning and parking brake mod

I have a F90BT and have done the software update to allow navigation usage when moving. The steps I followed are:

 

1) Grounded the parking brake wire

2) Updated the following section of the pioneer.ini file:

 

[pioneer]

parking_break_speed=16.0

hide_logos=1

 

As per the instructions, I updated this value to 128.0. The mod works fine, however I get the warning message when I hit approximatly 80 MPH (128 Km/H).

 

I figured I would just raise the value, however it only seems to work with the value 128.0. I tried 256 and 160, and both values would cause the triangle car icon on the map to take up 1/2 the screen and the warning would come on once I hit about 10 MPH.

 

Is there a value that I can pic that is over 80 MPH?

 

Thanks!

this is odd. Maybe grab someone elses mod and put it in and see if that makes a difference. You may be doing something funny as you change the text and save that you may not be realizing.

Thanks - I was editing the file through WinRar and just replacing it. Do you know where I can find another set of files? I have the 3.0 Naviagation update.

on a windows PC? get 7zip unpack then use windows notepad so you can properly open and save it. or download daftias mod in the complete mods/themes section. This combines numerous mods in it including softmod for ebrake

Thanks. I will look to see if I can find that. I had to back out all my mods a while ago as they caused nothing but problems. The only mod that I was interested in was the parking brake mod - I used the existing files on the AVIC and just modified that. Will the above mentioned files overwrite the files that are on the AVIC?

It over writes many but not all. Maybe put your backup on to give you a fresh start then do the mod.
