Primo problem with Sony

Hi, hope some one can help.

I have Primo running on my sony nav 93t, but it constantly is 'autodetecting gps reciever' and never finds it.

Port and baud are in sys.txt. Is there anything else i cantry?
Thanks

have you checked the .ini file as the settings may be different there and it takes priorty over sys.txt.

I think the problem is that there is no. ini file for sony in data.zip / divice directory

It would be interesting for our members when you would describe how you got it done. So please ?

About your problem.
The GPS is started by a program called "nav-u.exe". This way iGO is blocked finding the GPS. There is a way to go around nav-u.exe by making a script and make changes to the registry.

I copied this script somewhere, don't remember the author's name (but thanks to him!) and I don't know what the script does exactly. Fatboyfun should know and interfere here when something is not right

I GIVE NO GUARANTEE THIS WORKS, better wait for Fatboyfun to give comment!!

You have to replace nav-u.exe by a mortscript, starting this script

#You have to reset the pna to start IGo after using Sony Nav-U

If(Question("Sony Nav-U","Nav-U - Igo8")=Yes)
RunWait("\Mounted Volume\Sony\nav-u\nav-u2.exe")
EndIf

Kill ("SonyCalibMan.exe")

Close("SonyAppMan")

Copy("\Mounted Volume\Sony\nav-u\MortScript.exe","\Windows\MortScript.exe")
Copy("\Mounted Volume\Sony\nav-u\toolhelp.dll","\Windows\toolhelp.dll")
Copy("\Mounted Volume\Sony\nav-u\TestMode.exe","\Windows\TestMode.exe")
Copy("\Mounted Volume\Sony\nav-u\PowerOn.mscr","\Windows\PowerOn.mscr")

RunOnPowerOn ("\Windows\MortScript.exe","\Windows\PowerOn.mscr" )

RunWait("\Mounted Volume\Sony\nav-u\ToolDevice.exe","off 18")
RunWait("\Mounted Volume\Sony\nav-u\ToolDevice.exe","off 15")
RunWait("\Mounted Volume\Sony\nav-u\ToolDevice.exe","on Serial")

RegWriteDword ("HKCU", "ControlPanel\Volume", "Mute", 5)
#This line removes the annoying beep that sony does when the screen is touched. If you like it just uncomment this line

Run ("\Windows\TestMode.exe")

Sleep (50)

Kill ("TestMode.exe")

While (TRUE)
RunWait ("\MemoryStick\iGO8\iGO8.exe")
PowerOff
EndWhile


Important here: in this script the path to igo8.exe (!!) is "\MemoryStick\iGO8\iGO8.exe". Change it to your need!
Also important: the scripts activates port 5, so the sys.txt should have these lines:

[gps]
port="5"
baud="57600"


Succes!!

The Mortscript itself looks ok but it references files that may not be on the device.

Copy("\Mounted Volume\Sony\nav-u\MortScript.exe","\Windows\MortScript.exe")
Copy("\Mounted Volume\Sony\nav-u\toolhelp.dll","\Windows\toolhelp.dll")
Copy("\Mounted Volume\Sony\nav-u\TestMode.exe","\Windows\TestMode.exe")
Copy("\Mounted Volume\Sony\nav-u\PowerOn.mscr","\Windows\PowerOn.mscr")

Mortscript is easy to find
I don't know if toolhelp.dll or testmode.exe are on the device already or not.
PowerOn.mscr would be another script someone has written.

Obviously you will need to install Mortscript and make the mscr files to be able to use this. It's probably more for advanced users.

Thanks for looking into this, Fatboyfun. Appreciate your help and knowledge.
Sorry, but my information stops here. I don't know if this script is part of an unlock package or the files are present on a Sony. And since we don't now how the device was unlocked, only the user himself can tell if the info is useful.

I think there i some files missing in the data.zip/ divice ...... there is no nav-u ini file there....

And I think you are missing something. The nav-u.exe file is a Sony file, not a Primo file.

can you explain what you mean?

Unless the Sony has a folder called data.zip, you are looking for it in iGO or Primo folder.
Nav-u.exe is a Sony executable file and should be located in the devices flash drive. Wild guess, since I don't own a Sony, look for \Mounted Volume\Sony\nav-u\nav-u.exe

The data.zip file is in the Primo/Igo folder.

I know that.

Again from the start:

Now, do I need to make a drawing or is this a plain misunderstanding??
We are talking about a SONY file. Sony files are never found in the iGO program folder unless you put it there.

Explain to us exactly what you have done so far

Hi to all... I want to install iGO Prime2 (9.6.5.221194) to my navigation device Sony nv-u93tw.
I have windows 8 and device connects perfect. I backup original (/Sony/) folder from navigation MountedVolume to my laptop.
I buy "Memory Stick PRO Duo" with 4GB, and copy the unzipped folder /Primo2/ (link to zip file is [Please Register or Login to download file] ) to MemoryStick.
If someone can check the *.zip file if it`s everything is ok (changes to sys.txt files and etc.)
If installation files is not ok... please give me from where I can download good installation.
I need step-by-step help what I must do next.

Thank`s in advance.... :-)

Man, wow your file is something like 230mb, if ii get time i'll download it and have a look.
Edited to add, do a search : Sony nav-u 92, page 3 has a step by step guide.
Hope that helps
