Which skin are you using? I use GJ_6.12.p_da as I prefer that skin over DiMka and the default one. Vehicle images work fine with this skin. Just download the full pack from his site, unzip and copy the skin file (GJ6.12.p_da.zip) to your iGo8 > content > skin folder and copy the EXTENSIONS folder to the root of your iGo8 directory.

Enjoy.

I can select the dimka skin but nothing changes after the restart? What am I missing? any ideas?

So nobody really knows why some people are having problems putting it into landscape mode? Weird that it works for some people and not for others.

The built in bluetooth chipset happens to contain the circuitry for the FM radio, so that is probably why you see it prompting for Bluetooth when you ask it to scan for TMC hardware.

I'll save the inevitable questions about if the radio REALLY exists in hardware for your specific carrier. There are many threads about that both on here and on XDA. Long story short, if you have GSM TP2 then it probably will work with some tweaks, but nobody to my knowledge has it working on a CDMA TP2.

If for some reason, the FM radio (which BTW is the "TMC hardware" that iGO8 is looking for) can be enabled on the TP2 then you should be good to go.

Otherwise, if you simply must have traffic advisories I would recommend Garmin Mobile XT, which does a fantastic job of advising you of traffic conditions because it uses internet (3G or Wifi) to do so rather than an FM signal.

I am unable to get any voices. I have downloaded the latest sys.tx file and I have downloaded and installed the tts voices. I am able to select them but nothing happens.

One thing I noticed in the first post it says "Replace tts_log folder in iGO8/ with the new one" . Well I never had a tts_log folder to begin with so I just added the one that came with the download provided. Could this be the problem? Anyone able to help me? Thanks
