FlyAudio In-Dash Multimedia GPS Navigation System for Lexus IS250/350
#496
I want to make sure you understand that the FlyAudio system in no way affects the way your TPMS functions. What is not yet available is the ability to interface with the TPMS adapters. The car has a completely separate TPMS receiver and ECU that is not integrated with the navigation system. In its current form, your TPMS will work just fine having while having the FlyAudio unit installed.

All the TPMS module from FlyAudio will do is give the FlyAudio system the ability to understand what the car is telling it. The software is built in, but we are just waiting on the module so that you can see the air pressures in your tires.

I've been working on the Garmin software for almost a week. I got the software to successfully boot, but the system is terribly unstable. Once I loaded the maps, I ran into several scenarios where the program crashes (changing the orientation of the map, typing in a city when searching for an address to navigate to, searching for POI's - it's basically unusable except for displaying a map while you're driving. I suspect it might be because I loaded too many maps and the system is running out of memory. I'm going to try again tonight using only the California map to see if that stabilizes the system.

TomTom will freeze and you need to create a .exe file to change the registry for the idle time automatically so you would not have to do it everytime it reboot,and it will not freeze.
Igo8 there is also a setting of .sys file in the data.zip to make your igo8 work better. there is one in the main folder and one in the data.zip.

Hi Guys,
Has anyone been able to integrate the OEM clock into the Fly Audio unit? The Fly Audio unit doesn't come with one and wondering if it's possible to transplant this in?
They appear to be the same shape/size?
Any thoughts?

Garmin will not work on the flyaudio unit because of the resolution issue. it will not work on 800X480 and the highest they have is 600X480. That is why when you press the poi or some of the screens it will crash and shut down.

Garmin updates:
It doesn't look like the resolution is the sole issue (if the issue at all anymore)...but i have found some other posts that go into more detail:
I always thought it was a display resolution problem until I've saw on avic411 forum that the avic f series, also a 800*480, run XT without problem or so. It is probably something the display driver file or in the display driver registry setting.
I've also found an Australian site that claims to have a fix that they've uploaded. Check out the first post here (you have to log in to see the download links):

Just had this installed and I got a couple questions for ya'll advanced Flyaudioers:
I've only spent a couple quick minutes on the Nav but so far it looks and feels fine. What are the main benefits if I were to go to the trouble of changing Nav software?
I have a USB drive that holds all my music in about 50 folders. Is there a way for me to set it up to play all the songs on the drive in random order? (I've only been able to get it to play sequentially in dvd mode but I have to navigate into a folder for it to start.)
Much appreciated for your help...

For the nav software, it's a personal choice. If you like the InfoGation Odyssey software, use it. The problems I had with it are:
1) The company is out of business. There's no map updates available, and none that will be coming. For my area, the POI's were very, very lacking.
2) The software has a glitch (mine did anyway) that you could not adjust the navigation volume, which was deafeningly loud if you were using any other audio source (DVD, mp3, CD, iPod, etc). This was the biggest reason I wanted to use another software
3) I didn't like the interface. Too cartoony for my tastes.

there is also a TV tuner input that uses a SMA Coax input. You can use a 12v rf modulator to attach the playstation output cable to it. If you cannot find an rf modulator that accepts a component input, you can buy a component+composite output cable online, then just use the composite side (yellow-red-white RCAs). I'm not 100% sure yet if the tv tuner input accepts both audio and video through the SMA lead or if it's just video. Worst case, hook the video to the tv tuner and the audio to the AUX inputs that are attached to the Fly Audio harness.

For it to randomize (whether it's off a USB drive or off the microSD card) all the files need to be in the same folder - it won't switch between folders like NemeGuero said above.
