You can fix the weather issue by adding the following test to your "RR.ini file"

cityweather=(yourcity and state)
weatherunits=USA (if you are is the USA)

As an example I have this added to the bottom of my RR.ini.
cityweather=san antonio, tx
weatherunits=USA

I found that by searcing, but I don't remember what my search terms were.
hope this helps.

1. Like somebody else posted above, my weather screen defaults to Lexington, KY. I went into the RR.ini file and I couldn't find any obvious setting to change the location. I did find a "locale" command line that was originally set to 0. I put in a few other numbers to see if it would change anything but it didn't. Could you provide some mroe info here on how to change this?

2. As I was browsing through the various screens you have added, I noticed that you don't have a home button to get back to the main menu. I like the back button in the lower left corner, but I think the addition of a home button on the other screens would be a nice additional touch for functionality.

As always, keep up the good work and I look forward to future releases!

Hmm, didn't work man. As soon as I touch the next/prev buttons to hold them it skips the track.

But beyond that... best looking skin. Most skins are too busy and flashy, this is just right.

Will look into that. See if there is anything I can tweak.

Can this skin do Sirius? That's the only thing keeping me from adopting it...

**dmurray14** · 02-04-2006, 11:48 PM

I was driving around with this some more a few minutes ago. I really love the skin and everything about it - very very clean looking, and of course it just "fits" in a BMW!

Now if we can only get SIRIUS on here, I'll be stoked. Let me know if you guys need any help doing this - I probably can't help too much on the programming side, but I can test...

This is something I will be looking into.

Unfortuantely I won't be able to test it though, so maybe you'll be the Guinea Pig.

OK. Well, I'm getting impatient (as usual!) so I'm going to go ahead and try to tackle the Sirius screen myself. Only thing I can't do is make the Entertainment have an entry for "SAT" (that's how it reads on the real iDrive, too). Do you think I could ask you to add this button, or provide the PSD so I can add it?

Thanks a bunch.
