Thread: Radio module Infill G4 and SILAB

Hey there,

I also have an Infill G4 and am testing CF 1.46 before I commit to purchase. I have found that the radio problems you describe above are exactly the same for me. With the added problem of after selecting 'scan' and it stops at a station and you deselect the scan button, the frequency sometimes (not always) starts scanning backwards. It cycles through the Freq range continuously backwards. The only way to stop this is to re start CF again.

On the other topic of having multiple actions for the same buttons (i.e. whilst having the radio module open the hotkeys will only work for radio presets etc, and whilst in the Media module the same hotkeys will only select next track etc) this would be a much sought after ability and one I haven’t had a chance to experiment with. Hopefully this function exists somewhere.

Also, can you describe how you got the steering wheel controls to work in the Infill G4? I have a Can Bus system which I don’t think that compatible.


Cheers

James

Hey Dave
I don’t know if you have tried the Infill G4 Radio.

But my description was a little misleading

This is how the Infill G4 radio works.
If you push scan. The radio scans to a station with good reception – stops for 5 seconds and store it from 1 to 10. When finish scanning it goes to stored station 1 for 5 seconds. If you push scan one more time you will stay there, if not it goes to stored station 2 and so on

If you push tune up/down the radio tunes to the next station, and stay there.
I like the working principal for the Infill G4 radio much, and hope the radio plugin for CF will work the same way.

But one of the most confusing issues whit the CFinfill/CF1.46 version for the Infill G4 radio, is that if you push SCAN ore tune the bottom stays highlighted until you push again?? And the response time from when you push a bottom and something happens together what you can hear of sound is almost three different thing.

But if you know which radio frequency you want to hear, just push in the number of the frequency and it work like a charm. Just don’t drive to far so you have to use scan

what do you mean by stored station 1-10? When I hit scan it scans to the closest good station, stops for 5 seconds, and then scans to the next station and goes until it loops the entire band... If you hear something you like within that 5 seconds, you hit it again to stop... this is how the scan works...

I am looking into making it more responsive which I agree with, but the functionality I don't understand the issue...

What I mean with station 1 to 10. Is when you start scans it stores the 10 first stations with good reception in your channel list 1 to 10. U can choose to start from your present frequency ore for the beginning of the frequency band in your radio options.

I made this to illustrate what I mean: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2TR3r8ACHY[/media]

Also you have 4 options in radio setup
1. Mute while auto scan/seek
2. Initialize memory while scanning (don’t quite understand what that means)
3. Start from current channel when channel scanning
4. Indicate scanning channel every 3 seconds until scanning is stopped. (This means either it stop at the channel for 3 seconds and store it at your present 1 to 10 ore it just store the channel without any stop until it have stored the 10 first channels)

Those options will be great to have. But I know that first job you have is just to get the radio moduls to work properly.

Great you found an issue, can’t wait to test it – great job Dave
