dany-red, are the menus the same as the previous model?

[dany-red]

These are screen view of W2-D782S model.

(sorry for the bad pictures)

I like some of those pictures compared to the earlier witson, however they still need to improve on the ipod and mp3 playback interface as they still look a little basic. The earlier units also seemed to have RDS on the tuner and this seems to be missing now.

[dany-red]

mannyo,

I agree with you about the poor interface on mp3 playback. it has 8 chars like old dos system :thumbdwn:.

About ipod the main problem is the limit of 128 rows after that it's unable to show the list of artist, albums or generes. Instead the interface is quite similar to the ipod screen. Witson says that is not up to them to improve this interface. I should ask and pay apple to improve it .

I confirm, NO RDS on this unit with radio mode.

I still have to find how to play music during gps navigation with this unit

Could someone help me? :confused:

Problem solved

I don't know why but into settings views gps was in OFF position even if when I run gps it worked.

If I place in gps ON is possible to active the double function "play music" + "gps navi".

This could be useful for all new model's owner .

Would these units be compatible in a Fabia II with the Dance HU? Which one of the two would i need as they seem to be different shapes, and which one is better? Which one is the shape of the Audience HU and is the Audience HU the same size as the Dance HU?

[dany-red]

The two Witson models have same shape and I don't think you can fit into your Fabia unless you modify your dashboard.

In alternative, you can check for a 2" inch models.

I hope I did answered to your question.

How do you press enter on the screen on igo? If I want to changes voices etc.. I can pick the voice, but can not press enter? Is my resolution to high? Or want schould I do. Have also tried route 66, but it is to simple to me:-) Hope someone can help me.

Thanks.

[sebulbus]

At least in the PDA version there's a button in the lower left for confirming the selection. On the lower right would go the arrows for scrolling through multiple pages of voice files if that's the case.

yes, probably you have to set the right resolution to be allowed to see the commands on the bottom of the screen.

This can be manually done into the sys.txt file.

Here is the sys.txt with the correct resolution for iGo8. With these settings everything is working just fine with me.

Dany-Red - the two devices are not the same in their size...so i think D780 version should be able to be fit in Fabia 2. I tried with mine and fit perfectly in Roomster which i think is 1:1 on size with the Fabia 2 Unit....

[stecki]

I have copied your sys.txt to mine, changes the things that had to be done.... So far so good, but now it says: Failed to open file: ui_igo8/480_234/main_scheme.ui?

What can I do?

GeekPod's are the new cd changers, then you don't need to keep changing your cd's when you get bored of them cos you can fit em all on the one ipod:thumbup:.

[martin1611]

Possibly cheaper, but the Witson unit has an OEM appearance wheras the other units on the site you mentioned don't. I think to many people here, one of the main factors in the volume of interest in the Witson units is this OEM appearance.
