if there is a possibility that the wiring schematic I used for both of mine is different from the one you used to wire your own, would you be willing to post the wiring schematic you used for yours?

I will strip one of my lcds down and start over with a new lpt cable and follow your schematic. this will rule out the possibility that the wiring is at fault, and we can potentially get to the bottom of it.

I am really looking forward to finally having my sweet blue lcd running in my car.

so keep up the good work, and get back to us with your wiring diagram ok?

thanks in advance.

I really want to get to the bottom of this issue...

I have one I wired probably 3 years ago, so I do not have the diagram I used, but will look at the pinouts when I get a chance... It's all enclosed in a case...

I also pulled 2 VFD's, one out of a DVine HTPC case and one out of a Silverstone case and they both worked perfect...

Also noone has had any issues over at digital-car with their VFD's, multiple reports of everything working fine...

I know midiwall offered and possibly you as well to send these VFD's to me for testing, I will accept this offer now because I feel it is the only way I can resolve the issue...

It is probably a simple mistake that some VFD's can handle in the way I am sending the data...

I would send them back, please PM me about these anyone having VFD issues that has a spare to lend temporarily while I get things fixed...

I have updated the known issues thread...

This contains all the bugs found on about 4 forums, private beta testers, interal beta testers, and feedback from everyone that was giving the demos and error logs from CES....

Centrafuse Known Issues

It looks long, but most should be pretty easy to fix...

First things first is fix the updater

Then I will knock these bugs out quick and get an update released...

thanks for all the testing...

David... You certainly have the priorities right! Fixing the updater first is the way to go... then when you do have updates, people will be happy about bugs getting fixed, rather than angry about having to set everything up manually again!

I was not at CES. I followed all the good stuff via engadget, and the carputer was posted there just a few days ago.

It doesn't work for me on 2 machines (Jetway 7F2WE-2G-OC and Fujitsu Pentium 4 2.6GHz HT).

It doesn't work if your setteings are :
Settings-->General-->Startup location-->Main menu

but if the settings are :
Settings-->General-->Startup location-->Media its works!

cant get bluetooth gprs working through my phone. I have set up the bluetooth modem in windows xp, and can connect to the internet fine. When trying to connect using centrafuse it connects to the phone all ok, then trys to authenticate. Then after a period of time it just says error connecting. In the internet setup of centrafuse, all the details are correct the dialing number
*99# etc. but cf seems to automatically put a 8 or more digit password in the password field even though there should not be one. if you erase the password it will come back again after closing down and reopening cf. Whether this has something to do with the problem i dont know.

I am using an o2 mini xda phone (windows mobile 2003) and using the Widcomm bluetooth stack.

I own destinator PN on pocket pc and have loaded the maps into centrafuse. I can navigate by city-street, but not street-city, postcode-street etc. I realise perhaps these maps may not be supported, but would be quite nice if somehow us australians could get it to work.

Xport3 worked like a charm thanx!
