Mine is a Gen 2 about 4 or 5 weeks old.

According to ISBU i may have gotten the yellow wire relocation wrong, which may have effected the IPhone. I will check again on the weekend, but i first need to be sure i am interpreting the wire relocation instructions correctly. Is there another picture or instructions available?

When I was planning to do the DIY radio fix I took these couple of pics as reference... Not sure if they'll help ya...

Ice, thanks for the pics.

I am certain i have removed the correct wire from the factory harness, but now i'm not so certain i have fitted it to the correct FA plug. I have fitted it to the large plug in the centre of the picture, beside the yellow fuse. This is the plug that plugs into the original radio on the bottom (not pictured)

Edit: I can't figure out how to attach the pic

I have no problem with mine. I have noticed FlyAudio doesn't always supply the same microphones and they come in different shapes.

I'm having a problem on mine. After i moved the yellow wire for the antenna and installing the latest firmware update, i noticed that when i put it to fm/am and cd mode the sounds only mostly comes out on the left side speakers. the right ones has a tiny bit sounds that comes out. But when i play my ipod, the sound on all the speakes are even.... can anyone help me?

The CD and radio sound signals come from the CD changer unit. Perhaps, you accidentally made some of the other wires loose while you relocated the yellow wire.

I'm on the fence for FlyAudio's OEM look and feel navigation unit. Main reason - the GUI looks far too primitive (I'm sure this was noted already in this thread).

FlyAudio needs to put some serious effort into rebuilding the GUI of their navigation unit(s). Here are some quick mock ups I built in Photoshop - took me less than 10 minutes. Looks a hell of a lot slicker than their current interface and actually resembles something worthy of belonging in a Lexus, as opposed to a circa 2000 look and feel product.

Anyone interested in changing the GUI on the Flyaudio them self?

I was able to change the Fly UI images .png with photoshop and software tools.

I don't know if I can post the name of the other forum I have posted at but do a google search for :

Flyaudio: How to customize the UI

I had very little interest for the Flyaudio radio/nav unit on the other forum so I came over here looking for help and ideas.

I'm no software guru. So I'm just learning how to change the GUI. Small slow steps.

I do like the GUI miLanIS250 just posted so that gives me a little inspiration right there. I can also add new logos on each page.

Also I would recommend someone here start a new thread for Flyaudio GUI customization if they want to give it a try.

Be sure to do research on the process I used and proceed slowly with questions for clarification, if need be.

Also with enough interest I can bring over the procedure to a new thread here if it works for you.

Thank you for letting me visit and I'll check back later.

Thank you,
rrg.

Thanks a lot for posting this!!!!

I just pulled the HU out again and double checked, and the relocation of the yellow wire is 100% correct. Now i'm stumped!

Ps: That new skin looks great. More fitting of a Lexus than the standard one!

Send me a PM with your email address. I'd be up for working on the UI to see exactly how in depth we can get with the enhancements. I would need a ZIP provided with all of the PNG files before I can start anything beyond the mock ups I posted earlier today. Not an overnight project, since I do have some ongoing private projects to complete next to my day job, but certainly doable.

miLanIS250,
Very cool. That's what I was hoping for from this forum. A++
I can zip the main menu screen and send it off for starters.
It will contain all .png files for that screen.

Of course, I expect a Lexus look for a proof of concept.
I'm not sure if a transparent backgound works here. I have not tried it yet.
I did include what I think is the default background which is 800x480 in the set, item 25008.

PM sent.

I'm also happy to help anyone who is willing to give this a try on their flyaudio unit. IMO the best candidate for this, might be someone who has done a firmware update so that if anything doe not work they have a copy of their firmware.

Post here or you can PM me if you need specific help.

Thx.
Here's the image set for the main menu, I have ready:

Your design looks alright but to me it needs more color. Too much grey tones. We've got a nice vibrant screen, let's show it off! Also your font looks good now but it's one of those "stylish" fonts that's gonna look dated in a couple years, imo...

Perhaps take some inspiration from the 2013 GS screen?

In the future I see this theme\GUI change to become selectable on the flyaudio Nav button start-up.

All the flyaudio GUI .pngs are located in a single file that is called flyaudioUI.fui under the \windows directory. My unit is running wince 6.0.

With the NAVI physical start button you could bring up a collection of files as icons.
MioPocket from the microSD allows you to add .exe files like a script or batch file.

Select the one you want and copy it to the directory and reboot. That's it.

Holiday themes and car specific themes, 2013 GS inspired screen, no problem.

It will take a lot of work for the graphics to look and be consistent across all screens.

Font's for the clock for example, will be more tricky but graphical fonts on images can be done easy.

thx.
