Chinese 2 DIN radio/GPS, will not exit GPS mode

**jtrosky** · 10th May 2017, 08:23 PM

I'm honestly not 100% sure about the radio in question, but the radio that I have a lot of experience with (Rosen GM1010) sure seems to have 2 completely separate "instances" of the OS. For example, if I boot into WinCE on the "GPS side" (uses external SD card for GPS app, so I can replace GPS app binary with a file explorer and then get into WinCE), I cannot see any of the non-GPS related files or filesystems. The GPS and radio "sides" know nothing about each other and can't communicate with each other in any way whatsoever (you don't even hear GPS instructions unless you are in the GPS "mode". I believe the GPS-side OS is embedded on a '"daughter-card", along with the GPS radio and SD card interface (in fact the GPS SD card slot is wired directly to the GPS daughter card instead of the radio motherboard like the "media" SD slot). Also, if I bright up a task manager on the GPS "side", there are no other processes running - just the GPS app.

On the other hand, a newer Rosen model (GM1210) runs WinCE 6 and the GPS app and the rest of the radio functions are all running in a single OS (I can boot into WinCE and see both the GPS and non-GPS files. It's definitely only a single instance of the OS. I can see other processes from a task manager, etc...

So I think it depends on the exact radio. With the way his GPS exit screen stays there when he exits, it almost sounds like it's completely separate like the Rosen 1010... Just a guess though.

Wow this was quick...here is the link, it should work, just highlight and click on go to.

I will take out the command ;connection_enabled=2 tonight and see if this works, thanks osiris4isis

The unit does have 2 separate modes, when i have the gps on, the radio still works and i can adjust the volume and change stations, but i can not minimise the gps screen to go back to the radio screen or any other screen.

also when i set a destination, all works fine until i get to the end, then the unit will pop up a message ''exit map now'' and when i click on it the screen goes black. the only way to bring it back up is by disconnecting the power from the unit.

somehow the exit feature on the GPS is missing and its not going anywhere...

i have made a copy of the original files on my computer so i am willing and able to try any exiting key code if someone has any idea.

Your link to device is bad...but never mind
I doubt it is software problem.
Since all chinese devices coming with not original software

, you can try with same version from forum, just to be clear if all files are OK.
Regards

I will search for the software and give it a try. Thanks

After exiting the nav app, if you press the physical "Navi" button, does it take you back to the radio mode? Also, on my 2DIN, if I exit the navigation app, I can just press in the middle of the screen to restart it. But, I don't think it's supposed to do anything different when exiting navigation since that navigation app is usually completely isolated in it's own OS. It's like there is 2 instances of the OS running - one for navigation and one for everything else - and you use the "Navi" button to switch between them.

If i press on the navi again it restarts the navi mode
