I may make some mods as a lot of features wont be used by me, just Audio/Vido/Navigation/Telecomm for now -- I want to add OBD (even later on board tuning), cd ripping and a reverse cam... but I have to work within my monetary means and go one step at a time.

Sorry but am I missing something....
Simplistique download section says version 0.3 updated september ´06
is this still the latest?`
I think when I last downloaded the skin that it was very nice but is there any new updates since then?

I don't think lloydy has done any updates but other users have chipped in throughout the thread.

I changed the skin to my liking and added some of the features that were posted as well. I had to fix most of the features because they were not working properly. I know have it functioning just how I want it.

hey guys...i do apologize if this sounds dumb...i just started all of this a few weeks ago and have been lurking around trying to build up as much info as possible regarding carputers (specifically in the bmw e46).

after getting most of the basics down, in terms of wiring, computer setup etc...i now am playing around with the digitalFX skin on RR...i figure i might as well figure this aspect of the install as i eagerly await for all my parts to arrive in the mail.

anyways, i really liked the way this skin looked...but wanted to know if someone could point me in the right direction in terms of what version is the latest version?

there are also a few other q's i have and i would really appreciate it if someone would be willing to help me out...thanks a lot.

cheers

Hi, I'm new to MP3car and stumbled accross this skin which BTW is AWSOME! gratz LLoydie on a great piece of work.
I've managed to embed, tweak and adjust the skin to do pretty much what I want, I have only 1 problem which I hope you guys may be able to help me with.

PROBLEM:

Whenever the PC reboots and RR loads up sound etc is all working fine and the last song played resumes no problem.
However, the second you touch the volume up/down buttons the master volume sets itself to 0, the skin shows the volume at the level it "should" be at but no sound is heard unless you use the skin to set volume to 0 then work it back up again. I have tried the volume and it has the same effect in every screen where the volume controls are available.

I've tried loading the default BMV skin but this has the same effect, im running the latest version of RR an tbh the only thing thats stopping my install being dam near perfect is this volume issue.

Hope I dun get

flamed

but your advice would be appreciated, TX

I wondered if this was a RR issue or a skin issue?

OK, I've edited before getting flamed rofl, tweaked the volum mapping controls and works a treat!
Getting the hardware in the car an looking pretty is my thing, I rely on you guys for the software tweaks and help.

I don't know if anyone's heard from Lloydy in awhile... Lloydy whats been up?

CookieMonster · 03-24-2008, 02:39 PM

Well, Simplistique is the 1st skin I've "played" with, I checked throught this post and unfortunately some of the links are no longer active, I was wondering if anyone had collected them together and may be able to post them?

As I say there are only a fwe missing files, the one I'd like to get hold of is the Roadrage skin which looks more fun than anything.

I just finished embedding my 0 lux Philips webcam into RR so I can access the cam an see whats happening in the back of the car, I was also planning on it recording a 5-10 sec avi file which will then email out the file should the car get stolen.

I had been working on getting Freefone working and was adapting another skin till I found the Freefone skin. I hope the great work from everyone continues.

Hi Guys! I have the same problem for 9 months and haven't solve it yet. I have Problems with touch screen when from hibernate ONLY in Simplistique Skin!
I Already have changed my pc to a new one as the first was just for experiments if i like that kind of hobbie...
Now for 3 months I have a new Better One (Intel Car PC Board), Installed everything from the Begining.
All went just right, new version of RR, mods, ODBII, etc.
BUT... the biggest problem still exists.
When from Hibernate, When I press the touch screen it does not respond. I Can Move the cursor, I can change songs with the "RED BALL" but nothing happens when i press buttons of Simplistique Skin. If I am to Windows desktop, I can work fine, just to that skin is the problem.
I read somewhrere after tons of search in the forum and googling, that these respond issues is from a bug in the flash file of Macromedia. But I cannot do anything for that. I hardly found Flash8.ocx and when i try to rename it to flash9.ocx, windows don't let me. Of course nothing in flash is running and RR is Closed.
What all of you have done for this? For the time, I have a wireless keyboard-mouse combo to my door, and after i press the left mouse button of it, then the touch screen works! It seems that Simplistique Has Lost Focus of Touch Screen Commands!!!
What About you? If I have to put a file somewhere, PLEASE send me that file, and give me some info about where and how to Install it. I first time need a help from you Guys anything else has been found over that wonderfull forum about this magic skin!

My Personal Mail is CoolGas73@Yahoo.gr

Well, How did you tweak the volume mapping controls? Could you send me the ini file or some info about what you did or where to search the answer? Thanks in Advance

CookieMonster · 03-26-2008, 04:13 PM

I am using the newer version of the RRConfig.exe which has a very nice GUI which is easy to configure RR (new compared to RRConfig I was using previously). I got the "new" RRconfig from the latest RR download. I know the volume setting was in the old version of RRConfig though so check your RRconfig, it simply maps the RR volume to the "Master" volume on your PC if you look through there should be a drop down menu as I remember the default setting was "All lines".

Sorry to not be more exact I'm on the PC indoors, I'll check the car and let you know the exact setting later...

OK I went out and looked

I think the setting in my ini file is this one: mastervolmap=0
I also attached the zipped RR.ini if it helps
