thanks in advance

try adding

[warning]
speedcam_max_lookahead=250

to your sys.txt for the red light camera problem.

Hi Snrossi,
I have a 6" unit and have the same problem with iGO's automatic power down. My workaround using the Megaduck version of the dimka skin was to set up an icon on the quick menu that pointed to the power off program on Residentflash2 - \\Residentflash2\YFAPP\System\PowerOff.exe - different units may not have the same application name or location so browse your residentflash2 in windows explorer to find yours. Residentflash2 is hidden so you have to actually type it in the explorer address bar to see it. This workaround allows me to power the uinit off with a couple of touches on the screen - still easier than reaching for the power button, but I'd still prefer to be able to automatically shut down.

As for the redlight warning, this is how it is done in Dimka Megaduck, I don't know if it is the same in other versions of Dimka. Menu | Warnings | then click on the ... next to "Speed Camera Warning", and then the ... on the bottom right of the screen. On my unit, all other warnings have "distance control off" but the redlight camera has it on. Click on that, and you can change the distance that it displays the warning, and the distance that it gives an audible warning.

Hope this helps, and hope we can find a solution to the power problem.

hi all
i have installed IGO Primo and it works great, auto shutdown works and it turns back on great . one question though i read somewhere that it has a function that turns on the unit when power supply is turned on but i cant find where to activate it.
