That great. Although my ME has been wokring flawlessly bug fixes are still great.

I have 1 huge request to make! Can you add Mitch's Sirius interface to your Frontend. I send you a PM a while ago about it. He developed a very simple interface just like XMPCR but for the SIR-ALP1. Its a serial based board.

Sirius Usb Interface

I checked my email and i dont see any from you. Please doublecheck its palazzja at verizon dot net

[EDIT]
Secondly, that is a great improvement of the gps screen. I was able to manipulate the Scrolling text to center. Ill post screen pics when i get some time.

What i cant wait to test out later this week is the acc line. I have my resistor and an old serial cable chopped up and ready to test. Hopefully wednesday ill be able to give it a shot.

Phat. So I checked out the new beta and am trying to get my XM direct to work with it. First off, it works flawlessly with Frodo's program so its not my hacked cable. When I'm in the radio section, in the settings, and check the enable XM box, the program goes through and checks the com ports. My XM direct is connected to com 1 and the program goes through chugging out numbers on COM 1 and then gets to a certain number combination, its like 425632, or something like that and then stops. I've let it sit there for a couple of minutes but it never receives the Radio ID or does anything else. After, restarting ME and accessing the XM, the channels are displayed but none of them are updated. I've also waited for the updating of channels for a few minutes with no luck. I even tried Issa tip about setting the XM Direct flag to false in the settings.ini with no luck. Any suggestions? Besides this, everything else is looking great!

are there any plans to have presets butons for XM....the XM inteface is very nice but it is not real useable IMHO because I requires that I take my eyes off the road for an extended period of time to find the station I want

Is it possible to link the GPS botton directlly to an external program like "streets and trips or Iguidance" ?
