Thread: Help for newbies - have someone documented, working installation with phone controll?

RR DOES NOT come with built-in phone control support. There are different plugins and applications for this, however a lot of the times the PHONE ITSELF does not provide good enough connectivity to support all the features such as call lists, phonebooks etc. I don't even know if you can still buy Zorro's phonecontrol application, but that was (in my opinion) the application that supported the most amount of phones, still not all.

PhoneControl.NET is not longer available. I've dropped the product for a
couple of reasons.

The only CarPC frontend that I know, which supports Bluetooth phones is
Centrafuse.
...
Zoran

So, that's all to Zorros plugin.

But - i have tested Centrafuse too ... to get maps for testing it is problematical. Trial is comming only with little piece of Germany ... but in this way i cannot see, if (if i have full maps installed) i can navigate on whole Europe in one, or if i can navigate in one particular map inside only !?!?!?
Thats no easy thing! My Nokia N800 maemo has installed Map from Nokia/Wayfinder - this offers only navigation in the particular map inside only!!! So, if i have loaded maps from Germany-Alps and Central-Eastern-Germany, then i cannot navigate from Budapest to Vienna, because this cities are on different maps inside !!! What of fck - the cities are 150 km distance. Or from my birthcity Bratislava to Vienna - 70 km on the road !!! - and i am not able to see the whole route and cannot navigate! Even - i must payed for each map separately, but the navi cannot do this.
Other way - have tested Navigator 8 - that had whole european countries and i cann see all, what i want.

Because each navi had different features, i am not ready to pay for navi, that i cannot see, how it works. Centrafuse may be good or not - i cannot know it, until i see all the maps loaded into it. (Is there a download and way, how to bring those maps into Centrafuse?) I say, that if i eventually buy Centrafuse, i will again test the RR, because it is not so clased, like CF and and like to made my own changes in the future (if i can.)

I have Nissan Primera 2002 with built in Navi, that does steering of aircondition, fuel mess, error info and so far. I wish to made self interface for my car PC, that can made steering this original functions of those built in all-in-one original solution from Nissan, because the original is NOT CHANGEABLE AND NOT UPDATEABLE IN ANY WAY !!! No mp3, no video, no better radio, no video, NO NEW MAPS (LATEST MAP IS FROM 2006 AND NO UPDATE WILL BE DONE IN THE FUTURE _ NEWR SAY NISSAN !!! )

I am able to made self interface (with buil in little CPU and can bus interface too, serial RS232, with memory with battery backup on board and so far, programmed in C), but i am not good in programming directly on PC and i need a little bit help to made a visual interface on CarPC.
