That's very interesting. I just tested it on a couple different systems and it seems to increase the volume each time when the "English TTS" is selected over regular "English"

Great find, thanks for the info!

That usually fixes those kinds of bugs.
nope..did it twice in fact

"Cold Start GPS" makes the GPS search for satellites from scratch every time instead of "remembering" which satellites were in view when the system was turned off. You'd normally want to keep that off unless you're troubleshooting a problem with the system.

I see, thanks
I do have the problem with IGO being 1 hour slower, have to go into the GPS time menu to uncheck and check the box again then it will add the hour back.

if I repeatedly cycle the power then it seems to keep its time. But I waited overnight and it's 1 hour off again.

Hopefully turning off the cold start fixes it, but seem like a bug in IGO.

I tried to not use auto correction to time zone and set mine to Los Angeles but it didn't seem to remember the timezone. also.. I did press Exit on the application a few times so I know the program exited properly.

^Did you check your Daylight Savings Time correction settings? That could be your problem...

I thought it might be the case but I don't see anything about daylight savings on mine.
right now I am trying something called

[timezone]
sync_os_timezone=0
reset_os_timezone=0

then I plan to not use the auto correct based on location, hopefully it keeps it's LAX timezone. Because this is not a portable GPS and I am not driving out of state at such speed. My theory is that the timezone on the flyaudio OS is set to GMT 0 and that's what Igo is picking up

I tested this fix and it stays at Pacific time zone now. I am not using auto correction at all (second check box)

here is some explaination of microSD card speed and classes.

I just got the $10 Sandisk 2GB now but looking into faster speed.
The reader from the flyaudio unit may not handle the full speed though so faster cards could be a waste of money.

Which cards are you guys using?

You need to get the updated harness from for the US based cars from FlyAudio (US based company. www.flyaudio.us). The airbag light will remain on until you switch the harness.

I have tried to contact www.flyaudio.us but has not get any response,
So I'll take and modify the cable harness. There is a 14 pin connector with only nine pins in, (same as the one on the original front). I wonder how the connector looks like on yours harness?

Top row from right on the back of the contact I have the following cables:
Black, Green/Yellow, Empty, Empty, Yellow/Black, Yellow, Empty
Bottom row from right:
Green, Pink, Empty, Red/Black, Red, Blue/White, Empty

I had been really grateful if someone could help myself with this, maybe someone knows where all the cables go?


While I write I can take this opportunity to ask what the difference is on the Dest and Navi buttons on the unit?


Thanks / Olle

does anyone know how you could switch between folders when playing an MP3 CD with the cd changer? This feature seems to be missing. Could skip but not change folder
