USA SPEC requires iPod video firmware 1.1.1

[memorexx]

I just installed a USA Spec interface for Honda/Acura (PA11-HON2Y). Installation went well but I a having trouble setting up my iPod to communicate properly.

USASPEC can be set up in several modes:
1.) Direct - use the iPod just as you normally would
2.) Playlist mode - The iPod is frozen and you can access playlists through the radio or steering wheel controls and
3.) Hybrid - works like playlist but the iPod is not frozen so you can still use it normally

Option 3 is the option that I want to use.

The problem is that according to the literature the iPod video (80g) only works with firmware 1.1.1 and I have 1.1.2. Without the correct firmware the user must choose between option 1&2 (3-hybrid option does not work).

I went into my "iPod Software Updates" folder but I do not have a copy of iPod_24.1.1.1.ipsw or iPod_24.1.1.1.ipsw.signature. I did find the file for 1.1 so I restored my iPod using these files but it still does not work in Hybrid mode.

I have searched the internet for the 1.1.1 files but can not find them anywhere. If anyone can point me in the right direction where I could find these files I would be very appreciative.

Thanks

Update:

Well I found a copy of the iPod_24.1.1.1.ipsw on the internet but I have not been able to find the ".signature" file is there a way and can modify my old signature file to work?

I just got my USA SPEC installed today, so I didn't get any of the literature. It looks like mine was set to the playlist mode and I want to change to the hybrid or the direct mode. Does anyone know how to change it? I had the kit installed so I haven't seen the actual unit yet, except for pictures.
