Hi I am trying to run Garmin XT not Igo8. I'm still not successful with it but antoniobb who has run it succesfully is willing to help. What I am trying to clarify is that even without the SD card inserted, the HU when powered on would go straight into navigation mode when the gear stick is moved from P to D. So what I think is that there is some difference in wiring between yours and mine. It is not in the SD card but in the hard wiring. And what I think is that it should be this way.

Have you tried reseting your unit? there is a tiny hole below the volume knob where you may stick a paperclip.. maybe your GPS is a bit corrupted and needs to be reset.... wiring should not be the problem.

About the garmin, I actually spent over 3 days trying to make it work and finally did. I will try to make a tutorial for everyone. About the maps being "unlocked" this is not so when you use an SD card, you need to use a keygen (which I will also post) to create a code for the map instered in the specific SD card!

About the garmin, ...

Im sorry, but I do not have a backup of the tutorial I did, and took me around 2 hours...

I have a 2006 CDX with the 2.2 diesel engine and I thought some of you may be interested in the results of finding and fitting a replacement radio unit. I spent some days on the Internet (I'm retired so time is no problem for me!). I eventually found a company in China who had a range of units which fitted individual cars as "plug and play" with no wire cutting involved. I had the choice between an RDS unit complete with DVD and GPS or another one (WD6001) which had a better specification including iPod control:

Hi Glospete, i am just wondering is it necessary to change the battery as well, as one of my friend put DVD into the car, and stop the engine for 2 hours while watching DVD with his girlfriend. Unfortunately he was not able to restart the car with flat battery and stuck in the middle of forest.

(IMG:http://i643.photobucket.com/albums/uu151/glospete/011.jpg)
• 6.2 inch in-dash Two Din TFT touch screen (480x234)
• 3D graphic menu
• Steering control function to match with the car’s steering wheel control
• Built-in AM/FM radio; 30 stations storable (but non-RDS)
• Built-in analogue TV (no use for me in the West Country from May this year!)
• Automatic PAL/NTSC
• DVD/CD/MP3 CD player
• Built-in Bluetooth for connection of mobile phone
• Built-in GPS satellite navigation (runs from the micro SD card) – can have navigation and music at the same time (but see my comments later)
• USB interface (for connection of USB thumb drives or USB drives)
• Micro SD card slot on front face
• One channel AUX Video input, two channel Video output
• Rear view parking camera input
• 45W x 4 MAX power output
• iPod connector
• Dimmer function for night driving mode
I decided on the latter as I had already decided to purchase a DAB radio for the car which would make the RDS feature largely redundant. More on that later!
I guess my major concern was the removal of the dashboard trim to access the current radio - however I shouldn't have worried as a forum member helpfully explained the procedure carefully and even sent me an instruction sheet!
So to ordering the unit. I purchased it direct from the manufacturer (www.szwaywell.com) - I was able to have all my concerns satisfied in advance as I had a MSN Messenger type communication with them for some days before I committed. They were extremely helpful and explained that there would be absolutely no wires to cut as the ISO/DIN connection to the current radio simply unplugs and the new one plugs into the same block, and that all the steering wheel controls would operate as before.
The cost of the unit was 360 USDollars plus $70 for shipping to UK. I ordered it and they shipped it at 1pm on a Saturday (UK time). I was given a DHL link to see it as it moved to Hong Kong Airport, then Heathrow Airport, then the DHL centre in the East Midlands, then my local DHL centre in Exeter. And I could hardly believe it when it was delivered at 10.00am on the Monday morning, less than 36 hours after it was shipped. I thought I had beaten HM Customs & Excise but they sent a bill for the duty and tax at a later date!
I have attached some pictures showing the unit as it was delivered and during and after fitting.
Fitting - I began by removing the 2 screws holding the small glove box above the clock so that I could then see the old radio. I then followed the instructions from the forum member to unclip the dashboard trim and it went exactly as one would hope with no damage being inflicted on the "wood" and plastic trim. Then it was just a case of unscrewing the bolts holding the old radio, unclipping the power/connection block and then offering up the new unit. This was simple and in no time (well, maybe an hour as I went VERY slowly) the new unit was fitted and I tested the functions before I clipped the dashboard trim back in place.
Am I pleased with the result? From an aesthetic viewpoint it is as close to perfect as is possible to get - the silver colour matches the existing trim, even the blue lighting colour is a close match to the existing blue lighting of the other buttons. Everyone who has seen it has remarked that it looks as though it was designed by Hyundai as an original fitment.
How does it perform? Well the biggest problem I had was the GPS satnav and I thought I'd made a mistake buying it at first! As I said earlier you can choose which GPS satnav system you want supplied (the unit runs WINCE 5 and any system compatible with that works OK - in theory!). It actually runs the software which is on the micro SD card. I opted for TomTom as this was the satnav system I had on my current dashtop unit. Well that was a big mistake! It transpired that it is impossible to set the Regional settings in TomTom so the local time (time of arrival etc) is wrong. Doh! So more searching of Forums (especially www.gpsunderground.com) and I found that a more suitable system would be iGO8 and all the software is available on the site together with maps of the world. I have installed v8.3.2 and that includes maps of UK dated November 2008 and I even have speed camera warnings (£17 p.a. at www.pocketgpsworld.com) and Text To Speech ability as well.
What are the problems? It may be my installation but I have a very slight whine when the unit is on (and there is volume on the unit). It is not speed dependent i.e. it does not get louder or change if I rev the engine. It is not noticeable when you are driving – only standing still. I have booked it in the see a “radio doctor” in Exeter next week to see if he can solve it – perhaps it may be something as simple (LOL) as a choke.
The other comment is not a problem as such but when I am using the satnav and the radio for example, I would prefer the satnav screen to be visible all the time and the radio sound be replaced by the satnav instructions. As it is I get the radio screen all the time and the radio is muted and the satnav instructions and the satnav screen appear only when a turning or something occurs. I’m not sure I’ve explained that very well but I hope you can understand? It’s not a problem and I have reported it to the manufacturer to see if a firmware upgrade could alter it. If not, c’est la vie!
Other than that I am delighted with the Waywell unit and can highly recommend it (no connection with the manufacturer!).
Once it was all fitted I then decided to fit the DAB radio and the reversing camera. I purchased the PURE Highway radio and made use of the aux. input connection in the Waywell rather than relying on the FM transmission to send the signal from the Highway. That way you get a solid signal. I fitted the unit itself into the box between the front seats and even using the arm supplied it fits perfectly. The beauty of fitting it there is that it is never on display in the car. I purchased a proper DAB magnetic aerial and the reception is perfect so long as it is not a dead DAB area. I find it better than RDS as it has all the benefits of DAB i.e. constant buffering of programmes so you can rewind live radio or indeed pause live radio to catch any traffic reports or news bulletins you may have missed.
Fitting the reversing camera was rather more tricky as you have to run 2 wires from the camera – one signal and one power wire. I tapped into the reversing light power wire in the tailgate and carefully ran the wires forward. It is hardly noticeable. I fitted the camera just above the number plate.

This is a very amazing piece of kit, am very interested in it
I would like to know please , when gps and radio being simultaneously on, did you mean fm radio or dab via aux the gps screen is not shown
cheers
sanjay

I'm still scared. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Need more reviews/info.

1. What is the resolution of the screen? And does anyone know what the stock Nav screen rez is?
2. I wonder if its possible to hack the software to add Garmin GPS to the GPS portion?
3. The blue lights appear to match in the above pic. Do they match EXACTLY? Might sound anal but that's important to me. Has to match exactly.
4. I know I asked this already but I want to clarify. If I have the Limited 10-speaker Logic 7 Infinity...... Adding this unit does NOTHING to affect the sound of that in any way - Right? It merely "controls" that audio system and doesn't tweak it at all.
5. Does it have a Logic 7 button? I really like the Logic 7.

I'm very impressed! Has anyone thought of how this may impact the manufacturers warranty? Im tempted to get a similar system for mine. I'm just worried that the dealer may have issues with it in the future. In example; If I were to have an electrical problem with my vehicle, the dealer is more apt to blame it on this aftermarket product and may even void my warranty.
