Thread: Trying to get iGO to work on BV9386NV DoubleDin Unit

I recently bought and had installed a BOSS audio BV9386NV radio with GPS (because it came with iGO 8.3 and I thought I would be able to customize it) but BOSS really screwed up the app when they customized it for their hardware.

Version Navigation Software: 8.3.5.329067 Dated: Sep 11, 2013
The iGo executable is named: MobileNavigator.exe

Here is a link to the unit and some detail:

So far, this is mostly just a wish list, I guess, the RDS / TMC does not work either.
I live in Dallas, TX and am pretty sure, there are radio stations here broadcasting that...

It is missing the driving mode "always face up" and it does not save settings in 2D mode so that each time you start it, you have to re-configure all the settings (zoom for example). The 3D mode does save settings, but it can not zoom out much.
Also, having to accept warning each time it starts is stupid.

I opened a ticket with their so-called "tech support" but they seem to be brain dead. Perhaps a popcorn stand would be better suited for them. No response yet, and from what I have read, that may be as good as it gets.

When I imaged the 4GB SDHC card to another card, the system would not recognize it. Okay, so the app or licenses is locked to the CID of the card. Took another card and copied my iGO8 installation from a $49 Sylvania windows CE based unit and then tried that. Got that error message "THe application failed to start last time. Do you want to reset to factory defaults ....". Whether you pick yes or No, neither works.

I suspect that something besides what is on the external SDHC card is looking for something on the card. The radio is based on WinCe I am sure.

Any ideas on how I can unlock this so that it will run any version of iGO ?
