Thread: AULRO Subscriber Offer - cheap on-road/off-road GPS units

Thanks Ranga,
I tried the reset and it didn't make a diference. I turn it off and on with no difference. Since my last thread I found a "soft reboot" function (somewhere, I can't remember where) which then seemed to bring all back to normal. However the windows start bar keeps appearing when I click on the bottom of your new menu bar.
The explorer.exe mentioned by VNX205 is not listed in the task manager.
So the problem now is, how to get the windows start bar to disappear for good.

Ranga,

Thanks again for the software and installation details. Worked flawlessly.

Made a small change myself.

Have put shutdown button on desktop. Don't have to press button on GPS now.

Good idea - might have to do that myself!

Mate, I've never seen it do that, and it never did it for me when I tested it. Does this taskbar appear no matter which button you press (GPS, Video, Music etc?)

Don't worry about sending another one though as I have downloaded some of your stuff and have most of it is working now.

My only problem is that although I can get into the ResidentFlash2 directory but there are no sub directories there.

Would this be because I haven't upgraded my firmware, got a bit scared I might brick it.

My RomVersion is 7DB82C.YF.F.2.25
OEM Info YFCMMB
Software V3.0.11.18

Your menu works well!! But I'd like to change the splash screen and understand I need to access the ResidentFlash2 sub directories to do this.

Looking forward to your next update!! Does it have new screens for 800 x 480?

Thanks again. Great work!

Which one did you buy? Be very careful if you didn't buy the one mentioned in my first post, as yours may not be compatible with the files you've downloaded!! Send me a link for the one you have and I'll check it out.

PS - sorry about the disc. Yours may have been a stuff-up when burning the multitude of discs I did

I purchased my unit from Ebay back in June so don't have the link details anymore.
Additional info of my unit is
Platform ID: 5946504E44383243

Coyright (C) YF International LTD

Very impressed with the shutdown button.
Does this work the same as the Suspend from the CE Start menu.
Could you please post the code and the icon, etc.

I think it will be the best way to turn off as you don't have to go through the YF menu when it restarts.

Hi ytt105,


No it's not the same as the suspend button on CE.

This will bring up the same screen as if you pressed the on/off button while the unit is switched on. I just found it easier this way.

The icon is already in the GPSMenu/Icons folder.

The attached GPS.ini file just refers to it.

Unzip the attached GPS.zip. Then copy the GPS.ini and replace the existing GPS.ini.

You will find the GPS.ini file under Config folder in the GPSMenu folder.


Dave.

Nice work lads!
