    Rats, I had already ordered it before I knew about this. I suppose I can always download Primo, is it significantly better than the iGo8 software?

    Thanks Bulle! That looks like a better place to place the antenna. Also the unit shipped with two of the skins you made and posted here the other thread. Looks great btw!

    Not sure how much better it is but the Primo maps are downloadable from site such as gps underground.

    I will be trying the Garmin once I get a chance to play with the device a little more and get use to the menus and functions.

    LOL I'll have to check on my lunch break. I know there was 4 VW skins, turbo skin, blue ribbon skin, orange skin and something else. I'll post up the rest later this afternoon. You should have copyright those skins :)

    Installed my new Ottonaiv yesterday it works fine.
    Today I figured I should make a backup of the sd card, well the card came flying out and I just spent the past two hours looking for it with no luck.
    My question: is there a copy of the files I need in the HU or does anybody have an idea as to what files I need and if I can download them? ig08
    Thanks
    John

    Edit: I used a vacuum cleaner in all the tight spots and found it in a seam by the cup holder :):rolleyes:

    I just picked up my unit today from the post office shipping to Canada was quick I ordered on June 25. Only disapointment is I can't find my mic, looks like my box may have been opened or some how the mic was missed. I was hoping to get the unit in this weekend but since I use my cell a lot and hate to loose my factory bluetooth does anyone know how to make the stock one work with this HU? Does anyone know if it's possible to connect a active mic to this HU?

    Use this program to to get your gps port and band. You'll have to change it manually in the sys.txt file. Make sure you back up the file first. Save the program on your sd card.

    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6599614/GPSScan_Debug.exe

    In order to run this program, go to apps, files, on the top go to other then choose your sd card on the bottom row. Find the program and run it. Write down the gps port and band#. Take your sd card out and put in your computer and change the sys.txt file's portion of gps port and band. In under 1 min you'll get a signal.

    Maps are same for iGo/primo/primo2. Primo has a different UI, it is a development evolution. Some people like iGo. some Primo.

    Im going to return it and go with the kenwood aftermarket nav. I barely get any reception for radio. The nav reception is flimsy. The voice guidance is really quiet. The music streaming quality over bluetooth is very bad. I think either the jbl harness they gave me is faulty or just need to get a sound adapter like pac.
