Put all the igo files on one folder and transfer to the mini sd card. Right after you finish insert the card on the flyaudio unit and turn on. Look forth with file with .exe format and then click run

To the ones reporting bad radio reception I sugest taking the unit out and make sure the antenna is pushing into the unit all the way.

I personaly get great AM and FM reception, Heck I can clearly lisen to a west palm station which is two counties away from mine.

B16da9, is yours the Gen 1 or 2? I had great radio reception when I had the Gen 1 for both AM and FM but not on the Gen 2. Yes the first thing I did was to check the antenna plug. Hopefully it's just software....

When you download the program, you still need to download maps to run with it. you also have to configure the system text file (sys) to work with the fly audio system. Check out navitotal.com for more info and how-to steps

thanks for the info... i'm gonna look for these maps now. I think im gonna stick with iGO8 for now.. maybe sometime the road i'll try Primo again

Trust me, that's the first thing I did! I guess it depends on where you live. I live in the Los Angeles area where there are a lot of mountains/valleys. Depending on the area that i'm in, I sometimes get no reception where I use to have no problems getting reception with the stock Lexus unit.

Just noticed something for giggles purposes only:

On the flyaudio.net page it shows a RHD IS with the unit:



Noticed they didn't bother having a different face text for RHD users. The RIGHT side temp control still says "PASSENGER TEMP", even though in this case the right side is the DRIVER.

Also they still have the "Passenger airbag on" light on the right side...

Lexus OEM units have it ALL reversed, even the buttons on both sides of the screen are reversed (except the bottom due to the security LED).

Just thought it was interesting... Glad I don't live in a RHD driving place

Default Flyaudio and 8gb SD card

Recently I have been struggling to run iGo Primo on my Flyaudio and and had no luck. I managed to make it run a couple of times, but each time it froze my unit after a minute or so. I just discovered why this happened. Apparently, the Flyaudio unit doesn't like my 8GB SD card and had trouble writing to files under the "save" folder (I found out about this by checking the time stamp on the files and the crash report to get clues). So, I decided to use a 4GB card instead and copied the contents of the iGo Primo that I had on my 8GB card to the other card, and now Primo runs.

My "Passenger airbag on" light never turns on. Does anybody else have similar experience?
