Getting Started
Controlling Prodigy ONE
Depending on your application, you have a few ways you can control your Prodigy ONE system.
Option 1
If you have a vehicle with a compatible touch-screen head unit, most instances of Prodigy ONE integration will
allow direct, on screen control of the Prodigy ONE menu icons and functions. Your installer will be able to clarify
if your vehicle is capable and includes touch screen control. Most Prodigy ONE systems will have touch-screen
control capability. There are some instances (such as using Prodigy ONE through an A/V AUX input) where the
touch screen control capability simply does not exist for Prodigy ONE interface.
Option 2
Controlling Prodigy ONE can also be done with the wireless RF remote control. It features a track pad to move
an on-screen cursor, UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT navigation arrows and several other dedicated function soft key
buttons for quick access of features.This remote is optional on all Prodigy ONE systems except for non-touch
screen applications where it is standard because it’s the primary method of control.
Option 3
A third (optional) measure of controlling Prodigy ONE is to use a USB Windows compatible mouse to move the
on-screen cursor and activate the various features. There are numerous wired and wireless options for these
devices, so please check with your installer if you wish to operate Prodigy ONE in this way. Please keep in mind
that traditional “desktop” mouse devices are not recommended because of the safety issues they impose on
operating Prodigy ONE with such a device while driving.
Configuring Prodigy ONE
Prodigy ONE is configured for your application from the factory so many of the critical settings are already
done. You’ll need to set the time, choose a power (boot up) mode and choose whether or not you want to
automatically launch Navigation every time Prodigy ONE begins. This should only take a few minutes.
Time Setting
Setting the time for Prodigy ONE is only necessary if you wish to have the correct time display in any of the
Windows applications. Prodigy ONE already displays the correct Atomic Time in the Navigation mode based on
the acquisition of a GPS signal. The Navigation mode is the only application with a visible clock function. If you
wish to set the time for Prodigy ONE in the Windows application, please refer to page 31 in this guide.
Power Mode
Prodigy ONE offers users two modes for “powering up” once the ignition is switched to the accessory position.
Depending on your application, you may wish to provide a complete reboot of the device each time the ignition
is cycled (recommended for aftermarket host head units) or wake up from a suspended mode with a slightly
quicker boot time (recommended for factory host head units). The default is set to complete reboot mode. If you
wish to set or confirm a Power Mode setting for Prodigy ONE, please refer to page 30 in this guide.
Auto Run Navigation Launch
Prodigy ONE is default configured to launch into Navigation mode each time it turns on. This is so that,
when you access Prodigy ONE screens, the Navigation application is already running and ready to go. Most
installations that utilize a Prodigy ONE will have this as the primary application, so Directus engineers made
it easy to access. If you wish to have Prodigy ONE boot to the main menu screen instead of directly into
Navigation, you can simply go to the System menu icon and choose “Auto Run Navi Off” . Please see page 29
for details.
The remaining adjustments of screen resolution and type are configured at the factory for your particular
application of Prodigy ONE, so there are no user adjustable parameters for you to worry about beyond what’s
described in this section.
