Suggestions for future releases

I could, but that's pretty much how it is now anyway. For example, if there were 3 'Home' screens, I would probably just fill them up with the current Home screen, the Tools+Web screen, and the Apps screen. It's just that presently they aren't "next to each other". But they don't really need to be, since you can only see/use one of them at a time.

In the next version I post (later this week maybe), I will include the 'Experimental' skin with 3 home screens side-by-side.

OSK feature requets:
1. Start when a windows which needs keyboard input is in focus, like Garmin input windows.
2. Send keyboard input in realtime when typing. In Garmin I have to type the street name and click enter for the OSK to send the word I typed into Garmin input window.

I don't see any entries in the phonebook screen in the bluetooth app.
Not sure this feature is implemented.
I'd like to have the possiblity to import a vcard file if I cannot access the phonebook over bluetootth.
Cheers !

Any chance of getting RDS going on FM? Also this is what I am talking about buttons on the right. Not for me but the peeps with the steering wheel on the wrong side

The first part is done and will be in the next version. Part 2 I need to think about.

Phonebook access with BlueSoleil requires version 8 (i think). I only have version 6.5 right now. I need to buy a version 8 license to test.
I'll see what I can do about maybe supporting a "VCards" folder, and scanning it to populate the address book.

I thought RDS on FM was working, but I will confirm. As for all those countries with the steering wheel on the wrong side... maybe if I get some feedback from those users.

Cool. Thanks.

I'm using the last 8 version. I have an iPhone 5 and I don't see any entries !

By the way Bluesoleil offer the upgrade from 6 to 8 for free. I myself only have a BS 6 license. You just have to create an account to download the last version:

Good news: BlueSoleil 6 users have free access to the latest version. All you have to do is simply download and install the software accordingly.

I have never seen RDS in DL only station number. this is only in FM as I don't get HD which I have seen populated on your screen. SNO

Any new builds to test? SNO

No new build just yet. But here's a teaser about what will be in the next version:

Support for a Contacts.VCF file in the settings folder. This will populate the Phonebook. A long-hold on a phone number will populate the Dialer window with that phone number (but it will leave it up to the user to click the Send button.

The OSK can be set up to appear automatically when the user clicks on a textbox in an external app. This actually required some clever coding.

Some tweaks to ensure incoming phone calls are detected quickly.

The experimental skin is back. Nearly unusable on a resistive touchscreen, but it's back and it's pretty.

The analog speedometer will automatically change scale from 0-140 for mph to 0-280 for km/h.

Some tweaks to ensure the check-engine light is detected quickly, and might even list specific DTCs now.

Hiding the Windows Taskbar now works on Windows 8.

Changed the log file format to store latitude/longitude in decimal format.

And, my favorite new addition... automatic Directions/Traffic to Work/Home based on time of day and location. I'm trying to emulate the way Google Now provides traffic info for commutes. To use it, just set up a location named "Work" and a location named "Home". If the time is within two hours of 9AM, DriveLine will automatically populate the Directions window with your Work address. All the user has to do is click Refresh, and then the Traffic icon. It does the same thing with the Home address within 2 hours of 5pm. Going forward, the times (and days of week) will be configurable.

So, good things are coming. Soon.
