Anyhow, has the 'radio playing when leaving skin' issue been fixed yet
, just I was chatting with a friend who said he would have a look if needed, he's no interest in the car pc world at all, but he likes a challenge and the five minutes of fame that goes with success. (not the years of fame that accompanies failure..)

TMC is broadcasted using RDS messages so it is possible to decode the TMC messages if you have a location table of the country you live in. And I don't for the Netherlands. I'm however thinking of combining the TMC messages in a NMEA string so if your GPS software is able to use TMC messages it can use it.

Again: if you leave the skin be sure the add the "radio_mute" command to mute the radio.

your tip was the best.

from my radio skin i can jump to all other skins. under all buttons i write now the radio_mute order before i jump to the selected screen.
because i can selec the radio skin with the RETURN function i must start the radio new, therefore i write radio_unmute under the radio switch and its start again.

one wish i have to you, for changing the 10 decade of radio stations is it possible to make one order for NEXT STATIONLIST and one for LIST BEFORE ?

Nice skin.

Add that feature is not a problem. I'll add that when I have time

Anyone any idea how I can fix this? (in software)

I have the same problem in car but I don't know whether to resolve it.

I encountered a strange little problem yesterday, suddenly all my saved stations was gone and I can't save them anymore, the frequency boxes is just empty in the "memory" part...

anyone else had this happen to them?

It works OK in my XP box however I can not get any sound in Win2K.

I can see RDS data in Win2K and the USB radio flashes green instead of the normal red then green. Would it be at all possible to get the dll to work for Win2K users?

I think that has more or less to do with the audio driver not being installed. Can you try the sample application of siLABS. Does that work?

Yes the Silabs.exe works in Win2K as well as XP.

When I use the silabs.exe program the USB stick glows red then green.

When I use the USBRadio.dll in RR the USB stick glows green only and I see RDS data however there is no sound.

I have tried a few different USBRadio.dll files to no avail

thanx for your time

Hmmm, Don't know what is causing that. I only use a mute and unmute function on the siLABs in my plugin that is audio related. Are you able to use the other functions like changing frequency and stations?
