To those who are new to Rebellium project, out plugin provides easy way to integrate Garmin Mobile PC to Centrafuse 2, 3, 3.1, 3.5, 3.6, 4.x. Not only we nicely place Garmin window in your carPC screen but also we will paluse music for you when directions are spoken.
Whats ne in Rebellium 4 (aka R4)
- Perfect Audio Pausing - no more music and direction playing at the same time
- Support for both TTS and Prerecorded Directions
- Support of Garmin 5.0.70 - This is latest version of GMPC
- Semales Integration - All unneeded interface elements where removed
- Multi-resolution - 800*480 up to 1080p resolution supported
- External TXT Monitor Support
- Send-to-Car - Email your destination address to GPS so you dont have to type the address on the screen.
Rebellium 4 Requirements:
- Windows PC (XP / Win 7, 32 Bit is preferred)
- Gramin Mobile PC 5.0.70
- Centrafuse 3.1 (CF3.2 will be added soon(
- 1Gb RAM
- 2GHz CPU with MMX||
Limitations of R4: In order for R4 to work well on your system you will need reasonably powerful PC, we tested product on i7-2.99Ghz Quad Core. i3 and i5 CPU should work too. Celeron CPU might be to slow. Also it is mandatory to have Garmin 5.0.70 in order for R4 to work properly. Also if you have modified your Windows system, ex: you used nLite to cut out some modules, R4 may refuse to start, for best performance we recommend to use R4 on the system with all standard modules installed.
If you don't meet requirements posted above you can use Rebellium 3 instead. Both R3 and R4 provide good integration, but R4 was developed with the idea of nice more native integration so we allowed ourselves to take bigger hit in resource usage. Again if you experience difficulty ruining R4 we would recommend using R3.
Rebellium 4 HAS to be only program that talks to GRAMIN. So if you have R3 or any other garmin related plugin installed, make sure you uninstall them all before you try Rebellium 4!!!!
Product Activation - IMPORTANT ***

So we did lots of work this past week and we hope you will enjoy it as many of us think GMPC is best navigation system availabe and we really want to use it with our front end.
We still working on various improvements in our Rebellium product. As we know GMPC has no Live Traffic and it is missing many usefull things that can make our cars ecen better! We will be working in this project and improving this important aspect of car computing -> Best In Class Navigation.
We hope you support our ideas and you can donate to us, so that we can keep our R&D running. So far we where able to rise few buks to cover this stage of development. Yet we did not reach our goal so i had to take 1 week off my work and do some coding myself in order to reduce costs. Next part of the project requires even more complex operations and may require more money, so I hope to see your donations!
Our recommended price for CF3 release of Rebellium 3 is $25 USD (while minimum is $15) If you can not afford this price or there is no PayPal in your country, you can request FREE version of our plugin, which we will be happy to email to you.
Well I think thats is it! Go ahead and test it! And let us hnow how it works!

FAQfor Rebellium 3 Garmin Mobile PC Plugin -Centrafuse 3.0 & 3.1
Ok to reduce fustration of new users, i'm posting few commonly appared questions and answers to them. Those questions and instructions only valid for CF3 and CF3.1 veersions of Rebellium 3. If you are using CF2.1 please scroll down!

A: Make sure you run installer from your desctop. Installer does not like runing fom network drives or from locations with limited permissions, such as C drive on Vista or 7. If you runing XP you can put installer anywhere as lond as it is not network drive. Still it is recommended to put installer on the desctop.
- Q: "There is a problem with this Windows Installer packege. A program run as a part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personell or package vendor"

================================================== ===
Manual Installation Instructions - Rebellium 3 - CF3.0 - Download Your Files: Please follow the link that you got in email to dowmload the installation files. Email id generated in less then 1 min after your donation. If you don not get link in the email please check your spam folder.
- Unzip the Archive to Desctop
- Copy Files to Appropriate Directories: Inside the zip file you will find 2 folders: Centrafuse and Garmin Mobile PC. Both directories are there to show where the files supposed to go. So go down the directory if you see the any file in there put it in the same location on your computer. For example if you are runing XP and you unziped the files to dectop your installer folder should look like this:
C:\Documents and Settings\User\Desktop\Rebellium_INSTALLER_FILES\Centrafuse\Plugins\Rebellium3\Rebellium3.dll
Notice the blue text, we created isntaller file structure exactly as it suold be in your Centrafuse location. So follow the installer structure and drop WHOLE Rebellium3 folder to Centrafuse plugins folder.
Now, go to installer pakage folder and open GarminMobilePC, copy all files you can find in there and put them in the folder where Garmin is installed. (Note: If you are running Garmin 5.0.70 DO NOT copy img_pc.gir as it is designed for earlier versions of GMPC such as 5.0.60)
- Register RebelliumAudioCore
In order for plugin to work you need to register DLL. To do this on XP machine you will need to open comnd promt (Start => Run => Type "cmd" and hit enter => Black skeen pops up)
In command promt type
regsvr32 C:\GarminMobilePC\RebelliumAudioCore.dll
Make sure that the path to DLL and to GMPC folder is correct (in my case that was C drive, but please double check it. If everything is good you will get success message box. So you better read it and mak sure it says "success". Also if you runing 64 bit the comand might be regsvr64. So please refere to you OS documentation on how to register the DLL. The example shown is for XP 32bit
- Set Folder Permissions
Go to GarminMobilePC install dir and make sure tha whole directory has Everyone - Full Controll permissons set. This is required for proper autorization.
- Add Rebellium3 button to the button list of your CF3 install
Please refere to CF documentation on how to do that.
- YOU DONE
If you did everythibg correctly you should get Rebelium 3 and GMPC to work in CF

Video Review of CF2: I just found a website that has video of our plugin in action. Here is the link:
Garmin Mobile Pc Centrafuse Plugin Demo | CarPC (Thank you Bxsteez)
OK This is new part:
We now charging some bucks for our plugin. Recommended price is $10 but you can pay anything you want... as long as that is more then $1... Just adjust the price of the plugin to the amount you think it worth.
We raise money to be able to afford developments of CF3 release and doing all the bug fixes. You can find more information on this at the download section down below. Or you can go straight to ourwebsite and get the plugin there. Site:
www.tempgp.com
UPDATE:
We finally have new version for GMPC native CF plug in. The biggest difference from old version is that CF volume is turned down while directions are outputed. So finally we have good garmin integration for our car navigation needs. Thanks a lot to deepulse for update!
Scroll doen and download V2.0.0.0
-----------------------------
Hey all its 1 AM and i finally have new beta of Garmin Mobile PC skin for CF that might work better then others. I didnt do all the things that I wanted as GMPC decided not to cooperate well... so i gone a bit different way through trial and error... and here is what we have.
So far I think my version of skin is much more reliable then othe scripted version as all provided functionality works within one application.
For beta there is no settings needed by end user, only requrements is to have GMPC to be installed in its default directory C:\GarminMobilePC\Que.exe otherwise you will get an error. (in future will make that configurable)
To start GMPC just add my app to CF as external application with regular screen mode.
I would recommend to run the installer for the app and that take files within installation folder (in zip file / Application Files / some app version/ xxx.exe) and put them where you can fimd them...
If you see any bugs reports them and i will do fixes.
Also let me know your opinions!

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS for CF2 (Centrafuse 2.1 ONLY)
================================================== =
You can install latest version v2.0.0.0 without removing v1.4.1.2 and earlier versions and assign them as separate buttons in CF because both are consider different applications. i.e. v2.0.0.0 does not install over older version.
However, since v1.4.1.2 and earlier versions require that you manually add it as an external application (refer to CF manual how to add external app) and if you've already named v1.4.1.2 and earlier versions external application as "Garmin", you may have a problem with v2.0.0.0 because it uses the same name. Therefore, to avoid confusion, you'll have to name it differently (perhaps named it as GMPC). For those who have not installed v1.4.1.2 or earlier version, it is better not to do so since tempgp will no longer support it.
For those having problems installing v2.0.0.0, I'll suggest you retry after removing the older versions.
To remove v1.4.1.2:
1) Refer to CF manual how to remove external application.
2) Remove Garmin Rebellium OSK Integrator Setup from Add/Remove Program.
3) Leave .Net Framework 3.5 or .Net Framework 3.5 SP1 alone if it's already installed as it is required by v2.0.0.0
To install v2.0.0.0:
1) Download and install
.NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 (Full Package).
Download this full version from home which doesn't require further download if you have slow mobile internet on your car pc to install the bootstrapper version which does.
2) Download and install
Deviare.
No further configuration needed for Deviare installation.
3) Download and unzip
v2.0.0.0 GMPC OSK & Skin for those with .Net Framework 3.5 installed.
GMPC_Server.zip should unzip as a GMPC_Server folder where you put into C:\Program Files\Flux Media\Centrafuse\Plugins. There's no need to create a separate folder.
.Net Framework 2.0 GMPC OSK & Skin version is for those with only .Net Framework 2.0 installed and has not receive any feedback from any users yet.
4) Make sure GMPC path is correct.
Go to CF>SETTINGS>GARMIN(Setup)>GARMIN MOBILE PC LOCATION and make sure the path is correct if you did not install in the default location C:\Garmin\GarminMobilePC\Que.exe
5) Add Garmin to a CF button (refer to CF manual).
tempgp, perhaps you want to link this post in your 1st post so that users will run into less
