hmmm weird, i just checked for you and under ui_igo8/common/ui there is no file with the name templates.ui

 

Can you aim me again o2. I was away.

 

06BlueZ,

It looks really nice. I'm planning to get one for my '07 cubby hole. If you don't mind, I would like ask you a question.

How did cut the cubby hole?

Thanks.

 

Nobody able to help me out?

 

I've now been working on this for pretty much all of tonight. At this point, after seeing so many different errors of all types, I'm about ready to give up.


edit:
OK, after hours of working on it and seeing countless errors of all sorts, I finally made it work. I had to mess around with the files for a long time, but I found the right combination apparently.

Also, I think I will offer a DVD with the all the necessary files already in its appropriate folders. Since nobody wants to seed this program anymore (partial or complete) and not many willing helpers are around when installing this mess, I think that's a pretty decent idea. That way, all they need to do is just copy and paste whatever I have in the DVD into their SD card. Plus, this would save a LOT of time that would've been spent on downloading OCN8, downloading other files from iGO and whatnot to complete your program files, having to do research to see what your errors mean, figuring out how to troubleshoot your errors, etc. I can see why people may be reluctant to help as it's a b1tch and a half to troubleshoot.

 

How are you working on it without the screen yet? Unless you ordered it already that I don't know of

 

Sorry, been away for a few days. I can't tell you how many hours I have in the software to try to get it to work with no luck. I had to finally let one of the members on the forum help me out. PM me if you still are having software problems, you too quakerroatmeal

 

You never asked for help I've been sending DVD copies of the exact files that you need to run this setup...

 

^ Thanks again, I look at my SD card and looked just like what you sent me. Somewhere I screwed up. Works now that I used the DVD

 

Anyways I'll probably get the dvd from 350 since he's local and I don't want to go through all that hassle. I'm basically having the same problems he is.

 

It was posted in one of my posts above, but it has been edited to say something different after I figured it out. My original post was there for few hours and nobody seemed to have checked the thread for new posts when I was doing it.

This was a huge b1tch to do without help and the pdf file only helps so much. At any rate, it works now. I'm glad to see that you're doing the DVDs. I saw somebody post that in the thread you linked and thought it would've been a great idea, only it was like a year old and the thread had died off.

But yeah, I had to download various things (I don't even know how many things I downloaded for trial and error), which came up with their own error. I still don't know how I was able to figure it out, because I had to make my own files (via copy/paste and rename) and crap for my errors to go away.

 

Are you sending DVD copies of just the modified files needed to get it up and running or copies of OCN8 also. Either way, how would I go about recieving a copy. Really interested in doing this mod. Thanks for any help you can provide.

 

I used a high speed cut off wheel, like a dremel tool. It more or less melts its way through it, but after it is cut, you can go back over it with a sanding disc and clean up the edges.

 

crappy cell phone picture, but you get the idea:

Thanks to everyone for their help on this! It's amazing how perfectly and snug the unit fits into my 03 cubby. If the housing for the Plenio was another 1/8" wider, I think there would be a lot of hacking to do, but as is, it fits quite nicely.

Software:

Typically mine takes only a few seconds to find a signal. At worst it took maybe 2-3 minutes. The frame rate is smooth and not at all choppy, and the interface of the OCN8 is incredibly straightforward and user-friendly.

Power:

Powering my until was incredibly easy. The previous owner had installed a Pioneer DVD head unit with an alpine screen. I simply cut and spliced into the ACC and ground wires going into that Alpine control unit, and wired them to an extra cigarette lighter purchased at Pep Boys

 

looks great, nice job. I need to get a few installed pics up too... haven't seen any 06+ installed pictures posted...

 

Please post some installed pics. Thanks in advance.

I'm still looking for one with the best price. I saw one on Amazon for $109, but didn't trust the seller since there were no contact's information.

 

I am curious if we will be able to update are maps. This would be perfect if we could.

 

Why wouldn't you Be able to? Got mines working thanks a lot to o2 for the files. Just need to find an 03 cubby now

 

Any updates... I want to see pics of this done in an 05 or newer. I have an 05 and I'm not sure if it will look good with the "swing up" cubby door. I don't really want to change to the 03-04 center console as the texture and colour is apparently slightly different than 05+ ones.
