TT6 UK postcodes folder - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps

Hey guys,
I have been reading up on full 7 digit postcode navigation and it seems to be pointing towards moving a zip folder into the program files folder for tomtom.
I cannot find this infamous "zip" folder.. does anyone have a copy of it they can upload?
This shouldnt be classed as warez as I have a legal copy of the maps just dont seem to be able to find this folder! If it is against rules sorry!
Thanks

When I connected my phone to TomTom Home the first time to download my map, it included some zip things.
It created a folder "zip" in the root of my storage card.

You can get the TomTom postcode zip file free from TomTom.com so is certainly not warez.
Just search support for "postcodes" and in the second suggestion you can download said file. Copy the "zip" folder to "/program files/navigator/" where tomtom is installed and you should get fully working 7 digit postcodes. This worked for me.

Correct, it takes a little finding but here is the search answer.
And here is the link to the "wezipcodes715.zip" file for UK and Nethelands.
Please read the instructions on the Tomtom pages if you have any problems rather than asking questions in this thread.
Thanks.

Just the first one.
thanks for all your help
uprey..... I got the file but when I unrar it to my new folder designated for it there no exe or cab to staert with can you walk me through it..... Thanks for everything so far.
The file I linked to is a CAB file, not a RAR file. Don't open it in WinRAR-copy the file to your device and run it on your device by using File Explorer to browse to it, then click it to run. It will install the software that way.
ah thanks man you just mad the stuipd less stuipd

Is there a Cabs installation tutorial????

I've searched and I've asked and no one wants to help...Could someone please point me in the direction that I need to be in
Purpose
Sliding sounds

Thanks
A CAB installation is just like a Desktop installation but on your phone... Transfer the CAB to you phone (I put all mine on the memory card), click on the CAB, then install app. Generally if you have a memory card, the CAB installation will give you the choice to install to the phone or card.

*tries it out now*
Thanks man for you input
On your storage card create a folder called "cabs". Then put the cabs you want to install on your phone in this folder. Then open up file explorer (on your phone) and go to the cabs folder. Then select the cab you want to install by pressing it on screen or with the hard down key. Your phone will start to install the cab and it will ask you where you want to install (either phone memory or your memory card), choose which one you want. Note that some programs work better when installed to the phone (read and you'll find out suggestions). After the installation is complete your phone will tell you that it was successful.

I don't know
"click on the CAB, then install app. Generally if you have a memory card, the CAB installation will give you the choice to install to the phone or card."

Unzip the folder on your computer and transfer the cab over into the "cab folder" on your memory card. Open file explorer on your phone, navigate to the "cab folder" on your memory card, select the cab to install and your done. No need to copy the whole folder to your phone, just the cab.

That is not a .cab I will attach a cab for you to try. I it is the transformers sliding cab. No need to unzip. Just download it to your computer and transfer it to your phone with either activesync or take out your memory card, stick it into your computer and put it in the folder you want. Let me know if it works.
Ron
thats the one I'm trying to use...So I need to pull the memory card out and active sync it... So how do I add those to the active sync task????
Thanks for your patience

Open activesync and conect your device. Make sure you have a green symbol and click explore which is to the right of schedule. It opens your device and navigate to your memory card and cab folder if you have one. Then on your computer right click on the cab you downloaded and select copy. Now go to the window you brought up when you hit explore and right click in the destination and select paste. Now you have the cab on your phone. Next, on your phone open file explorer and navigate to the folder where you just pasted the cab and select it.
Ron
Come ON!!!!!
Please don't take offense. But, if you need this much help to install a CAB, you better spend a whole lot more time reading this forum before you touch you phone and really mess it up.

Do not uncompress (unzip or rar) cab file.
He is uncompressing the cab into a folder and transfering it. His compression software shows the cab as compressed.
Just transfer the cab uncompressed and click on it and it will install. I bet that does the trick.
Also, if you want you can change it so that your compression software doesn't see CABs. I use WinRAR and you can just uncheck it under options>settings>integration and just uncheck CAB.
... LOL?...
a .cab is the "installer file" in windows mobile.
Steps:
1. Copy the .cab file into your phone
2. Open the File explorer in your phone and look for the .cab File
3. Click on it
4. Choose the place where you want to install it
5. Enjoy your new program(or sliding sound or anything)

Thanks Batchell..However I was able to get my question answered by ANOTHER HELPFUL FORUM!!!!! I've only had my phone for 2 months and I DIDN'T know that you didn't have to unzip the files...I didn't have to worry about that stuff with a TREO... So to all that was helpful I really appreciate it..and the others with all of the slick jokes are bunch of assholes...yep I said it..Thats why I asked for a tutorial for cab installation smartass!!!!!!
This is a developer forum. If you ask a question here, it is assumed that you have a moderate level of computer literacy. This includes being able to unzip files.
Next time, please state you know NOTHING and people will give you the appropriate level of help.
Before others flame you even more for your last comment, I'm closing this thread for being inflammatory.

Help me install this..lol

Your joking right? If you ready The Kaiser FAQ Wiki, you will find the answer.

TomTom auto start

TomTom auto starts everytime I unplug my diamond from an usb connection. It only takes a few button presses to exit out of TT but it gets annoying after a while.
Any ideas
Which version are you using, It use to happen I think with version number 5.21 because that version have got the "Autorun" file in the installation folder and whenever you dissconnect your device, the device recognise the extra memory as it is just plugged-in.
Sid
I am running TT6 (which came with the phone) and ROM 1.93.831.1 but it was doing it with the previous ROM version as well.
delete the 2577 folder on your internal storage/where ever else it maybe and this should stop it.
man you really should use the forum search.
Its "autorunning" everytime you unplug usb as it sees the memory card again and autoruns. Follow the advice in the previous post and please use the search next time.
Addicteddddd - Thanks, I will try that
Monty - I searched under Tom Tom and auto Start and could not find what I was looking for.
As I said, follow the post above (Addicteds). In directory 2577 on the Internal Store you should find directory \2577\autorun. Delete this file.
Doesn't work for TT7
TomTom loads evrytime I soft reset. I'm using TT7 so is it possible to disable autorun for TomTom 7 as there is no 2577 folder?

Check if there's anything in \Windows\StartUp ?
autorun
i know this is a old post but i have the same on my thd with autorun when i remove my sd card
best way I found to deal with this is just go to the sd card into folder 2577 and just rename the files in that folder or rename the folder.
that way if you do need it at any time you can just rename it.
and you have your autorun back.

Using an a program like Total Commander you can unzip the files to the root of your SD card.
-or-
Unzip the files on your computer and move them to the root of your SD card.
and if the files are in the root of my SD card, will the program recognize them? a have seen some maps in .cab file which extract the maps in the SD ,in folder something like /Program Files/Athens/

When you start your the TomTom program up it will see the map. I have my maps in a folder by itself on the same level as my Program Files folder (i can see them at the same time when you are looking at it in File Explorer.
OK, but it dont give me to select the maps, just says "No maps found" and "Welcome you can download 1 free map of your choice and experience GPS Navigation", and this is all.
What version of tomtom are you useing?

I am using TomTom7 it is version 7.45. Do you know if you have the file ttnavigator.bif in the root of your SD card?
where is this file 'ttnavigator.bif' , i dont find it, is it in the map package or in Tomtom7 package ?

If you cannot find the ttnavigator.bif, check in the \program files\navigator directory either on the phone itself and also check for it on the SD card. If it is in one of those two spots you can copy and move it.
If you cannot find it, you can reinstall the TomTom7 software.
