Just drove home with my freshly built 5.0.3 setup and one thing I noticed was a 'locking up' of the system when selecting next track.
So I highlight an album; hit 'select to playlist' and the album starts playing. Click 'next track' and the next song starts playing immediately but all the controls lock up for 4 or 5 seconds before I can do anything else. Any ideas what could be causing this?
The skin itself looks fantastic in the car though! Can't quite put my finger on it but everything just looks crisper and really slick.
It works for me.Quote:

(Just moving the rrvoice.ini file without the deletion and reload of the RRVoice folder didn't work.) Suddenly, everything was working. The mic turned green when supposed to, the listening graphic appeared when it was supposed to, and my music muted when supposed to. The only thing I can figure is that there was some conflict between my existing RRVoice files when I was beta testing 5.0 and the rrvoice files supplied with the official DFX install. Apparently, those old files weren't being overwritten during the new install so I had to delete them manually. Anyway, all now appears to be good.Quote:

the placement is a little weird due to the fact there isnt much room where i wanted to put them, but it still looks nice. they look factory other then the placement if you really look at it. then, on the door armrest, above my window switch, i drilled a small hole and fitted in the momentary switch. my truck is 11 years old, and its finally mature enough to have a discussion with it!
i would say the accuracy is plenty good when just sitting still, engine on or off... but when you start rollin down the road its a different story. even windows up it can be hard to get it to do anything at times. im hoping the usb adapter cuts out the driving noise better, if not ill likely have to isolate the mics better. i fear the vibration of the road is going through the dash... even though i did keep the rubber casing they come in around the mics.
Well you need to be careful when taking apart microphones and putting the elements in a new location.
If you notice the original mic enclosure, there are slots around the back of the round parts holding the mic elements. These slots allow sound in to the rear of the element making the microphone a directional or cardioid microphone.
Wikipedia
When you put the mics in a new place there is no sound getting to the rear of the element, and so the microphone is now what is called omni directional.
The sound from behind the microphone goes in to the mic in the rear slots and in the front of the microphone but out of phase with each other therefore cancelling out any sounds from the rear.
This is why the microphone is not as accurate, as I can talk to the carputer with AC on full blast and have full recognition, with my Andrea.
I am sure that a lot of research went into the design of the Andrea case to make it as accurate as possible, not only in design of the shape of the round part but also the distance each mic is apart from each other.
im aware of the andreas design... i really dont think it matters that much. at least i havent noticed any change after putting it in the dash. i have more testing to do, and i have a spare andrea for another project that i can use as a bench point too. ill post back with more results this week. i still think ill get the better results once i get that usb adapter installed with the software enhancements. my onboard mic software doesnt seem like anything special... not in xp anyway.
i had the same problem, just delete the zips.dat in the riderunner folder. If you are not in US it doesn't work. ( it's in the help file)Quote:

I tried to make the installer as user friendly as possible but I can not do anything for ppl that don't look what they are basically saying yes to and yet appeal to the majority of the DFX user location base.
Actually I went through the installer carefully leaving out what I thought I wouldn't need, specifically; GPS lockout, RRmaintainence, Internet Radio AND Location, but guess what, DFX crashed at the splash screen. So I thought it might be a dependency one one of the plugins. Sure enough when I uninstalled then reinstalled with everything ticked it didn't crash...Quote:

Clearly I'm an idiot for not immediately realising (US only) meant it would break the gauges if you're outside the US.
