hey, i was wondering if it was possible to make a feature that makes the computer enter standby mode when the car doesnt move for say 10 minutes or something. It would tie in with the gps, if theres no movement, send a message to screen saying something alone the lines of "Do you want put Carputer in standby mode Yes or No" with a 15second timer. so that way when we leave the car we dont have to worry about turning it off, itll jsut do it automatically. I dont know if this already exists, but if it doesnt i think it would be super awesome, especially for thoose of us on laptops.

are you saying you usually left the car engine running with nobody in the car?

man, you have much bigger problem then putting computer into standby

or use shutcontrol, it automatically turn of, hibernate, or standby your laptop when ac power is disconnected.

no, i mean lets say ur parked with a girl in the car or something

, and ur listening to music, but the car isnt moving, id want it to stay on then. But lets say i turn off the car and leave, i dont wanna have to always press Hibernate on it. so since its a laptop and has a battery that lets it run for a while, i want to be able to jsut turn off the car and the pc will turn off automatically after 15 minutes. My Magellan roadmate 2000 does that same, if the car doesnt move for a length of time, it asks do u want to turn it off. if it doesnt get a response it turns off itself

what are your suggested clients? it has to be lightweight enough...and thunderbird is not light weight. And why i the world do you need an alarm. The speedometer is right there in front of you.

skuller suggested shutcontrol. there are plenty of programs that can do this, including windows itself. you just gotta do some configurations

^^^ Seems to me that won't do it. The OP is talking about a trigger when there is NO MOVEMENT - it has to be something tied to the GPS or something.

And BTW - Not all of us live in a warzone! FORTUNATELY!

thanks for all the help crookedtoe, ill look into the diff configurations. My brother also has a C230 and theres a mod that allows u to do an aux in. all it takes is a 3.5mm to the red and white jack and some soldering. I saw it on one of benzworld.org. i saw that you bought that Logjam AUXMB1 already, but if u wanted to maybe sell it on ebay for a profit and try that mod im telling u about, u might be able to make some money

I've had great luck with 2.5, but I installed 3 and my buttons are all blank. I can do anything on the bottom of the skin (play pause power off, etc) but nothing else shows up or works. (Not only are the labels blank, but the buttons do nothing.)

THanks for any help. (I've already installed newest flash and i'm going to install shockwave player too. I have 12/6/07 Roadrunner version too. Have I missed something??

What GPS software do you use in Brazil in the car? I know iGuidance (Here in the U.S) and Destinator, pretty much worldwide, both have Speed alerts built into them. I think Streets and Trips does as well...

As for email, sorry, I dont think that is going to make it into this upcoming release, which should hopefully be out soon.... Blue?

I still cannot get "normal" FM to work, (D-link100 controlled by Radiator) It works fine stand alone and also with the default BMV2 radio skin.

Radiator doesn't talk to the combined FM / HD skin. I am trying with the old fm skin from DFX2 but can't get that to embed in DFX3
