Re: Dig_Options TP09X1 GPS, Reviews & Information

Many thanks for your input two+four, I think that it is time the work phone "stopped" working....
:twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Time for an upgrade!!

I have a nokia e71 and using the bluetooth I find that I nearly have to have the stereo volume up flat out just to hear the other end, so much so that when the call switches back to the radio after the call has ended, i nearly sh!t myself .

I found the same thing, but if you adjust the phone volume up while it is "paired" to the head unit, it increases the speaker volume for you without adjusting the stereo volume; if you do it at this time, the settings will be saved on your phone for future use....
Don't do it while it is un-paired/disconnected, or it will send you deaf when you put it to your ear!!! :lol:

Second other question: My iPod issues are above, but another thing Ive noticed on mine is that the ipod level sounds distorted. I have the ipod on the lowest volume level and I figure the gain on the amplifier is saturating the audio and overdriving it a little. My iPod has the latest firmware ( I cant recall it off hand but could get it to you if you like). My ipod level on other devices eg Computer, old toyota stereo etc are all OK.
Thanks again

I also had this problem; and I think I stumbled on the solution!!!! :shock:

Go into the ipod settings, about 2 'clicks' down from the "EQ" heading you should find "active sound"?
Switch this "on" and you should find all noise distortion on ipod play disappears.... :?: :!: :!:

I hope that this helps mate.....

Re: Dig_Options TP09X1 GPS, Reviews & Information

As Oldsalt mentioned the antenna is left a little wanting, even in metro Adelaide (I'm 20ks from the CBD) While I picked up all the TV and Radio channels a few of them were pixelating. Will see how Oldsalt goes with the amplified antenna and may get one myself.

Hi Mick, I like the setop box mounting idea!!!

Can I ask whether you mounted the antenna different to oldsalt? or is it ontop of the windshield also??

And while I have your attention, where did you place your IR receiver as well??


Thanks

Re: Dig_Options TP09X1 GPS, Reviews & Information

hi guys,
I have finally installled my unit yesterday including the dvt-b unit.
Everything works fine except the my son's 80gb classic ipod.
I also installed oziexplor.I have updated to oziexplorerce 2.31.
It supports maps in .ecw format no need to convert the to
,ozf2 format. The update is for free from oziexplorer.
I have bought the 2006 raster maps which come in .ecw format
the size of the maps is 7gb.I converted them to .ozf2 format to
use the in my old laser 4.3 gps and it took 2 days. My old laser gps
would not run the .ecw maps even with the new versin of oziexplorerCE
but with the tp09x1 gps you can which save a lot of time..

The only other thing i do not like is whe listening to radio and then the
gps cuts in there is a long pause befor the radio comes back on....
we need a better antenna i get sbs and the picture and sound are crystal clear
but i have to be on high ground.....

I haven't mounted it yet, it's just rolled up in the glove box (It's got a long lead and magnetic base, so at the moment I jut sick it on the passenger side roof and run the cable through the door seal when I want to use it).

I really want a better antenna before I do any sort of perment install of it.

And while I have your attention, where did you place your IR receiver as well??

My IR receiver is mounted down where the ash tray used to be. The ash tray has been removed from mine to fit a digital EGT gauge and there was room next to it. Stuck there with double sided tape.

Re: Dig_Options TP09X1 GPS, Reviews & Information

I could be interested in one of these units, but don't want to install myself.

Do you have any installers in Perth and what would the total cost work out at?

Hi there,
I have an awesome mobile installer in Perth that will go to you. His name is Daniel from Audio Addicts.
Please PM me if I can help further.

Hi Darwinite, its getting late here and I dont think I catch your drift. My phone is set to auto connect to the stereo via bluetooth. I cant adjust the volume unless Im on a call, and even still, my phone volume is up flat out automatically. Ill try pairing with the stereo again to see if it is any better

darwinite.

I searched my ipod classic, found the EQ, but no active sound setting. There was a "Sound Check" under EQ, but that was set to on already which basically balances the volume from the different audio on the ipod.

Re: Dig_Options TP09X1 GPS, Reviews & Information

Anyone tried playing video from their ipod :?:

I only used our ipod for the first time this morning and noticed that "Video" was on the TP09X1's ipod menu screen. Unfortunately I haven't got any video on the ipod at the moment to try....

Re: Dig_Options TP09X1 GPS, Reviews & Information

My previous post about getting the nav arrow to show in the direction of travel showed the wrong sys.txt file.

The code to get it right is:
[map]
2dheadup=1

Head Up is self explanatory, it always shows head up (the way of travel)

Here is the proper one with the above code included:

[folders]
app="%SDCARD%/iGO8"

[rawdisplay]
screen_x=480
screen_y=234
class="landscape"

[utility]
utilitymov=",1,\SD Card\IGO8,"
utilitydel=",2,\SD Card\iGO8,"

[debug]
enable_roadshadow=1
enable_roadsign=1
show_oneway_3d=1
show_oneway=1
show_gps_pos=1
show_signpost=1
skip_eula=1
reserve_memory=2097152

[map]
auto_nightmode=1
3d_max_tiltlevel=8550
2dheadup=1
3d_scale_carmodel=1
3dcarsizemin=3500
3dcarsizemax=5500
3dcarsizemul=10000

[tts]
tts_buffer=131072
tts_logics=3
priority="HIGH"
always_say_road_names=1
announce_street_name=1
announce_exit_directions=1
skip_exit_numbers=0

[sound]
queue_length=200

[msnd]
msnd.start=0

[gps]
port=1
baud=9600
source="nmea"

All you need to do is remove the sd card from your unit.

Put the micro sd card into an adapter.

Plug it in your card slot on ya puta.

Copy my sys.txt.

Open your iG08 folder.

Using notepad or similar, open the sys.txt file.

Delete the contents of the file and replace it with my sys.file that you copied earlier.

Here is a link to heaps of variations you can use in your sys.txt http://www.gpsunderground.com/forums/sh ... php?t=3029

Re: Dig_Options TP09X1 GPS, Reviews & Information

Finally got around to loading OziCE today. Very painless, and works well.

But:

On first run, the unit does not see the memory card. If I remove it, and put it back (with the unit at the Nav/Nav Options screen) it then sees the card and I can run either Nav app fine.

Could this be a problem with my $13 Kingston SDHC cards, or something else?

Re: Dig_Options TP09X1 GPS, Reviews & Information

Hi All

I am little excited at the moment so may have missed what Im looking for. I have been allowed to spent the money on one of these little beauties so need to get going before the hand brake changes her mind - I dont think so as she wants one in the Aurion now. :P

Does it have CD stacker in already (like the original has) or just the single CD????? :?:

Is there any way of getting hold of Donna or Matt to see how to go about getting the reduction for PP members???
E-bay wont allow me to change the price naturally.

The answers are more than likely in here but I cant find them damn it.

Re: Dig_Options TP09X1 GPS, Reviews & Information

Hi Pete,

Email link below from page 2 or 3 I think. Single CD though there is an input for an external stacker, though with the IPOD interface why would you bother just more to go wrong with moving parts while offroad.

Neil

Guys,

Donna and Matt from Dig_Options are currently waiting for their membership to be approved. In the mean time.....

I spoke to Matt on the phone today and they are happy to help Pradopoint members out with a small discount.

Contact Donna via Email to buy direct from their business:

Re: Dig_Options TP09X1 GPS, Reviews & Information

You should get a digital set top box as well, it's worth the extra.

I download videos (music etc) from You Tube, convert them to MPEG files with easy video downloader http://www.videodownloader.fdrlab.com/

Then join the videos together with Kates Video Joiner (free) http://download.cnet.com/Kate-s-Video-J ... ?tag=mncol

Put them on a USB stick

Put the stick into the usb port on the Digi Box and play them via the AUX from the head unit.

So many options, that's why I love my unit.

EDIT: From my experience Donna and Matt normally reply to emails of a night as they both have other jobs while attempting to build their business.

Re: Dig_Options TP09X1 GPS, Reviews & Information

The antenna I bought is "active" meaning that it's amplified and hooks into the 12v system for power.

Digital signals are mostly horizontal and so is this antenna.

Therefore I am hoping that it will be better than the supplied one.

Any update on this?

Sorry to say that I received the antenna and the F-Connector was too big! (only found out after it was installed and ready to be plugged in @#$%*)

What I now know is that there are two sizes of F-Connectors, standard and micro, we need the micro one.

As I had to bin the one I bought, Donna and Matt have asked me if I would like to test a boosted antenna, I jumped at the chance.
I will let Donna and Matt know the result and they will most likely let you all know.

I did try to get an adapter for the large F-Connector, however, they had never heard of one up here?

Re: Dig_Options TP09X1 GPS, Reviews & Information

i have a kingston 4gb card and it is very problematic.
i do not think they are good...finding it hard to copy file
and sometimes the computer does not recognise it etc etc...
Nick....

Yea, I had the same problems with Kingston.

Got a scandisk and all is OK.

Actually my sd card is 8 gig and problem free.
