Now I get the radio station and RDBS data while in GPS mode. Now to go bac and fix the menu.skin file to do the same.

Thanks for the help. Now if I could just get the radio to come back on by itself.

Hi all ,Thanks for everything ,I have everything up and running great! But i have just 2 questions - (1) when I open Xport window it shows at the bottom like it's scanning but never stops,is this normal? My input line is #3 and my outputs are #5,6. and it shows that #5 is checked(dot) but not #6,why? is this normal also? - (2) i notice my red led light on my GPS usb unit keeps on blinking when i shut off or hibernate my carpc.is this normal? Thanks again.........

Just means your motherboard is still supplying it with power to operate. Depending on your power supply and shutdown controller, it should either turn off after a minute (or any other specified time period) or only shut down if it detects a low battery situation.

ok utd09bry,where do i find these settings? i own a via MII10000 Board....... also anyone know the answer to #1 question???..............

When it is blinking, that means you have a lock on satellites.
When you open XPort and see only data on the bottom line that means you have a valid signal.
If you run Road Runner and then open up XPort you will see that one other port is getting the same signal. If you run Road Runner AND your GPS program then you will see data going to com5 and com6.

Hi MGD, lets clarify a bit .The data that scrolls at the very bottom means it's still looking to lock on ,or it is locked? Also forgot to mention about the list of things that needs to be checked like storage,hubs,etc.-Which ones do ya' check and why? sorry about all the questions on this. I don't know jack about GPS stuff. But I wish this Xport add-on was given some kind of readme file. this sure would of helped. thanx.

It would be set by your power supply.

For example, I use an M2-ATX. You set the "HARDOFF" delay (meaning, the power supply completely shuts off its output power) by setting jumpers on the power board itself.

If you are using an intelligent power supply that has a shutdown controller, you should have some kind of control over that setting. Just look up whatever literature you can for that model. It is completely independent of the motherboard you are using.

The data that scrolls across the bottom is the raw data coming from your GPS unit. If you didn't have a lock you wouldn't be getting data out of the GPS.

I don't think you need to check anything. I never did when I used Xport. Here's a quote right off the Xport home page:

"The device list at the bottom works much like DevCon, and is for devices that have trouble with hibernation. Check only the devices you have trouble with. XPort will stop the driver before hibernation, then start after resume, then retry any driver that fails to start a few seconds later. Use with caution. Some devices may freeze XPort or fail to disable or enable. Each device may add several seconds delay, so it may not be a good option to use. You can test each device by disabling/enabling in Device Manager."
