Thread: How to install igo primo on double din headunit

hi all,

I would like to share how to install igo primo 2 on my double din headunit. Caska 3628, OS: WinCE, Resolution: 800x480.

After browsing through several gps forums, like noeman, navigasi.net, i found that those forums almost provide nothing about primo installation in headunit, although the software, maps, pois etc are easily to get (thanks to ScorpioPirate ). Have consulted to ScorpioPirate too on how to install it, but still couldn't work.

so i decided to ask the R&D of Caska in my country on how to install it. Surprisingly, it is very easy to install it. Basically, there is no setup/installation like Windows-like to be run first. It is enough to execute the primo.exe directly. Now, it depends on how your device to point or execute the primo.exe file.

On my headunit, the steps are as follows:
1. copy the folder "Primo2" to sdcard. (i used igo primo2.2 internation edition from zerdim, uploaded by ScorpioPirate)
2. create a file "maplaunch.ini" in sdcard, open the file and write this:

[MAP]
path = Primo2\Primo.exe; <-- this indicates how my gps find the path to execute primo.exe
bmpiconpath = Primo2\ui_igo9\800_480\loading_1.bmp; <-- this indicates to load loading picture at the beginning of startup of the gps
showname = IGO Primo by Albert; <-- dont know what this is used for


For this file, i copied the file from my previous sd card that was installed with igo 8. i simply edited the text inside that file.

3. copy map, building, poi, dem, voice, and other file into corresponding folder in folder "Primo/content".
4. that's it! insert sd card to headunit, and enjoy!!!

Another information, I used Tomtom maps, pois, etc buat i found that they weren't updated. The R&D guy told me that it was better to use maps, pois, and so on from local provider (local provider that cooperates with Naviextra in providing maps). Fortunately, found a friend that use licensed igo primo, and i simply copied the folder "Primo/contents" and used it in my sd card. And it's true, very very complete. But if you are happy enough to use Tomtom, thats fine.

Special thanks to ScorpioPirate and Zerdim in providing igo primo software and maps.
