Navigate to the main NAVI screen and when you get there click the Setup icon and point the path to the .exe so that the unit knows to find the iGo8 GPS application launcher.


(* ignore the red text and arrows)




The GPS app should launch automatically when the headunit finds the .exe on the SD card, you will then need to go to the GPS menu / settings to auto-detect the GPS port of the head unit before you can start to navigate.

Yeah I got the actual .exe gps thing loaded, and I set a route and everything. I was trying to actually use it, but it thought I was in san antonio texas for some reason, even though the little arrow that is supposed to be the car, never moved. And the unit never spoke directions. But I'll try your recommendation and see what happens. Then I'll report back heh

How is it working so far? i am interested in installing one of these.

[BennyLava]

Ok thanks a lot man. Yeah for some reason, it doesn't autodetect the GPS antenna unless you go in and tell it to. Odd. Got it working now though!

And now... another question. Is there a way to... decouple the GPS voice from the radio volume? I maxed out all the settings on the GPS voice, but if you're listening to the radio, the radio is way too loud. If you turn the radio down enough for it to be tolerable, you can just barely make out the GPS voice.

[BennyLava]

Nobody know?

Is anyone else having this problem with the bluetooth?? When I use the bluetooth, I have to turn the volume way up. Then as soon as the person hangs up, my radio comes back on and it scares the crap out of me cause its loud as hell.

Yeah, I have that problem. I haven't figured out if there is a way to set the bluetooth volume high then have the radio low.

I just have to remember to turn down the volume right when the person hangs up.

[BennyLava]

What about you toy? Did you come up with a way around this?

[toy_toronto]

I suggest you guys explore the unit a little further. I learned all the settings by trial and error.

There are lots of hidden menus in this thing and as you already know due to lack of documentation, you must find a way to really drill down deeper into the menu system and try them all. This is how I learned how to use this thing and I'm not even an audio expert.

On the first post, picture #5 shows the audio menu where if you hit "next" button I believe the following screen will show the option where you can increase/decrease the volume GAIN for Bluetooth, radio, DVD, etc. Give that a shot.

Sweet! That worked!

I guess there are a lot more hidden menu's then I realized.

Does anyone have link or seller name that for sure sells the 128mb memory version of this headunit?

[Spidermandud]

Ordered!

[hwnstyle21]

anyone using this headunit with an ipod/iphone? Is the interface fast or slow?

Pen is not necessary for touch screen operation. As far as climate impacting the unit, toy_toronto has no reported issues. In fact, he continues to show this thing off at every public opportunity.

My girlfriend plugs in her iphone in it all the time and it runs great.
It even charges it as well as plays the music.

I've noticed that these head units come with a pen for the touch screen. Does this mean the pen is necessary for operation? What is the touch screen like in the winter for us Canadians?

I've had mine for 3 months now and I haven't used the touch pen once.
Mine even came with a remote control...which I haven't used yet.
