Thread: How do I get the Car2PC adapter to work in RR?

Oh no worries bro, We all appriciate you. As far as i can tell it is functioning as far as integrating the buttons on the steering wheel and stock sound system.

Thanks for continuing to work on it. And thanks for RR in the first place. My main thing was to verify that everything was working and if not make sure everyone was aware so that we could take steps to get everything working just right

Again

Thanks Guino
BTW nice car!! i just bought the 2006 Speed6 GT (i wanted the RX-8 but we may have some little ones on the way)

Thanks Guino as well..

I also wanted an Rx-8, but as antimatter said, I too go a 06 speed6 because I had one on the way. Thank goodness its got some room BTW, the back seat does fold down.

I read that somewhere. They dont make it easy or obvious i hear.

Its in the FAQ on mazda6club.com in the mazdaspeed6 section..



As far as the carpc adapter.. jbors never responded to my PM or my posts.

Besides i plan on removing that fake pannel to mount the carpc so it should make it easier.

Any updates?

I just got a 2007 Mazdspeed 6 (was rearended in my 2006 and it was totalled) and I have the same problem in this one.

If I use the winamp plugin, its perfect, except I cant use it completley with RR.

the new car2PC.exe has my text blinking..

Jbors is non-responsive on the car2pc forum.

Hey guys & gals. First and foremost , thanks to everyone for the help, all the coding, and wonderful ideas. 3 or 4 years ago I was dreaming of such a project but had no idea 1already existed. I'm been lurking the forums for about 6 months now,searching, reading, learning what ever can, before I ask questions. About 2 months ago I started assembling parts and software to start the project. I'e been taking parts of 1 skin and putting them in another trying to learn how the commands work and so forth.

Although I am learning, I'm really stumped on an issue.

I have a car2pc adapter, and have used that wonderful utility "myhutest" that shows the commands.

My problem is:

I would like the commands ND & PD to move from 1 playlist to another. Basically treating each playlist as if it were a Compact disc.

I would also like to map the commands SC 0 & SC1 to change to the GPS screen & and then back to the main menu.

So to review
//exectbl file
ND = next playlist
PD = previous playlist
SC 0 = Load GPS skin
SC 1 = Load Main Menu skin

I'm not a programmer so the following idea may be absurd.

Would it be possible to have a file , we will call it playlistset.cfg, that would list all the playlist that we choose the be configures.

Example:


//Playlist <number>=<playlist name>

1=Metallica-And justice for all.m3u
2=Metallica-Kill em all.m3u
3=Pearl Jam-Ten.m3u
4=Pearl Jam-verses.m3u

Obviously the file would be no good without a command to drive it. Mabe something like "playlist+" ?

So in my exectbl file The ND command would be associated with playlist+ and PD with playlist-.

So am I dreaming here or what?

Thanks,

Kyle

This is all in Exectbl.ini:

Code:

"ND ","NEXTPL"
"PD ","PREVPL"
"SC 0","GPS"
"SC 1","MAIN"

"NEXTPL","EVAL;PLNUM;($PLNUM$+1)%$PLCOUNT$||BYVAR;PLNUMBYVAR;PLNUM;LOADLIST;PLAYLIST1.M3U<<LOADLIST;PLAYLIST2.M3U<<LOADLIST;PLAYLIST3.M3U<<LOADLIST;PLAYLIST4.M3U"
"PREVPL","EVAL;PLNUM;($PLNUM$+$PLCOUNT$-1)%$PLCOUNT$||BYVAR;PLNUMBYVAR;PLNUM;LOADLIST;PLAYLIST1.M3U<<LOADLIST;PLAYLIST2.M3U<<LOADLIST;PLAYLIST3.M3U<<LOADLIST;PLAYLIST4.M3U"

You should set the paths to the playlists in there and add this to RR.ini:
plcount=4 (or the number of playlists you setup in exectbl -- 4 in my example)

Muchos Gracias , Thank you very much...off to test this right now!
