Thread: Skin iGO nextgen by pongo (DISCUSSION)

Thanks Golom but I saw that the problem is the radio app that disables the audio of the multimedia content volume in the android audio setting and I solved it by removing the check from the radio app to override the other apps.
Except that now every time I turn on the car the radio app no longer starts automatically as before but I have to start it myself, never mind.

I have that same problem on my 2 din unit. It's like the radio app ignore all others sounds. But when I play some music or video with some other app it's all good, I can hear navigation using tts and music in background.
So can you please tell me where is that option for "removing the check from the radio app to override the other apps"?

After you uncheck override the other apps, you can hear navigation (tts) and radio at the same time?
This was driving me crazy, why navigation can't work with radio app.

@ mikigo

Did you connect the navi hardwarebutton to the correct navi in settings of the radio ?

Yes jast made. No as unspoken and back as before does not go.
Could it be some setting in the zip of the tts that produces this anomaly?

With Joying and Pumpkin no such problems.
Radio plays fine and mutes during navi announcements .
Keep in mind that the radio app is different from other music apps.
Also not possible to install another radio app without rooting the unit.
Did you try an internet radio app ?
Is ok than ?

@rider
I'm glad it works great on those devices, but not on mine
Yeah, I know it's different from other apps, and it use different audio stream, and can't install another radio app without root.

Internet radio app, you mean like online radio? It's not a option, no internet, only FM.
I did try with DAB radio, and its all OK, but because its a third-party app and usb DAB so it's use different audio stream.

Only this built in radio app is blocking tts.

And when you play DAB+ radio the next day FM starts again playing ?
Strange, with the Pumpkin when I play the music mp3 player the next day it starts with the mp3 app and continues playing.
Playing FM it starts the FM radio.
Almost never I use FM for radio, always DAB.
Joying does not start anything after sleep the next day. Even better.

@rider
I think you misunderstood me.
You are referring about member @mikigo

I do not have problem with what starts automatically, and i do not care about that.
I have problem about tts is not working with radio app.

Kikiupload but do you have my same car radio (navifly / makede)? apparently we have the same problem ', but only with tts. However, I tried in android settings to remove the radio app setting as predominant on the other apps but I did not have the desired result.

It's Mekede unit. But I had a few this Chinese headunits, and offten that radio app is not compatiable with TTS engine, and I tried a couple engines, always the same story. So this is not a problem with tts language pack or iGo, its that radio app, android system and tts.
Because when you turn off radio app, and go to android settings - TTS, and test it, it's working. But when you bring radio in background tts is not working.

There was guy on xda forum had problem with sound. He found this solution:

They suggested that I switch back to using the built in Google-TTS engine and the correct language in the android settings of the head unit. Then go into the head units GPS settings and assign the Google-TTS engine as the default GSP application. Doing this will mean that the hard GSP button on the head unit will no longer launch iGO Primo. But that is ok because I can launch it through the iGO icon/shortcut on the screen. Then make sure to go into the iGO Primo sound/volume settings and select the correct TTS voice, with the correct language that matches the language on the Google-TTS engine setting. Then properly exit from the iGO Primo app and reboot the head unit. That's it.
