RadioSHARK v1 is now native to RR.

Thats a great device! I just hooked it to the PS2 5v port via a tiny low voltage/amperage relay that gangs to a larger 10a relay, that just puts the antenna up if the carpc is on. I suppose you could do this with USB ports too.

With that device, you could control items like:
HVAC,
remote start (I don't trust windows XP with that though

,
automatic lights and/or voice command,
bluetooth device unlock and/or ignition instead of using a physical key (pda or cellphone paired, on, and near the car) and more! Thanks!

If you want the antenna to go up whenever the car is on, you can just put it on the ignition line. I have mine going up when I go into the radioshark skin.

The RadioSHARK is natively supported in official release of RoadRunner version 10-08-06

Schweet!

AWESOME!
Worked like a charm... first try. WAY easier than I expected, especially since things are rarely easy on these car PC's... Thanks so much for the patch/support.

Not sure why everyone is *****ing about the reception, seems to work just fine for me. I mean, it IS radio... And it sounds about the same as my stock head unit.

Sorry guys for the long delay.

Had a few minutes to test RadioShark native support problems and did not found any. I have downloaded the latest (RoadRunner Nov 12th 2006 Source Code) roadrunner source code from http://www.kompassist.co.uk/

Here are my settings from rr.ini and these settings will work.

Code:

radiomode=6
radiatorpath=C:\Program Files\Griffin Technology\radioSHARK\

Please also check that your radioSHARK executable name is “radioSHARK.exe”

Your problem is that you have full path to the radioSHARK.exe but you only need directory path.

Code:

RadioSharkPath=C:\Program Files\Griffin Technology\radioSHARK\radioSHARK.exe

I also noticed that RRConfig.exe does not have a radioSHARK option in the dropdown box. I remember sending Guino code changes for it.

Thanks.

Radio Shark 1 is discontinued. Will the native features of radio shark work with radio shark 2?
