I had a PCMCIA card extension with a 1GB micro drive,


I copied all the required BIN files, and chose "LOAD FROM CARD" instead of CD/DVD, and after a 5-10 secs. it said ATA Card read error. So unless it is looking for a specific folder .. i dont know what could be wrong .. May be Bysin can look into this. Will save him all this burning media...

I know the drive works for the car, I tested it by, holding the MENU button for 10 extra seconds from the main diagnostic menu, it brought me to developer menu, and I went to Logs, and clicked Save logs to PCMCICA. and it successfully created .txt files of logs dumps from the Navi System.

Why is everyone not using CD-RWs? I used an old Verbatim 12x CD-RW and it read fine for the background swap.
That's a pretty cool device. Hope you get it to work.

Pankul

thanks bzss7x.

I obviously did the CDRW as well. worked fine for me. Just wanted to try something even more intersting thats all. with a future add on memory for mp3s may be

i cannot copy the bin files from the navi disk to my hard drive. my computer just doesnt register it as a disk and when i try to burn a copy of the actual disk, i get a message saying "insert origional source disk". would it be possible to get the BIN files elsehwere?

hypertech

Are you sure it is a DVD drive and not just as CDROM? The disk is a DVD.

ryno

yup. DVD drive. i duno wat the problem is

I am SO jealous! We need some computer genius to come up with something like this for our older TLs! Nice job guys!

This happens to me as well. I don't get 9 BIN files of ~104 mb, but get 9 of ~230 mb.


But you say the startup image worked? might as well do that.

Original go at it had a working image, no words for the nag (go only) but had some initial lag and "after" screen lag...

I used a modified image from MrBrett (the man will post pics later)...

I photoshopped it the way I wanted, changed to indexed colors of 173 (as explained earlier in this thread) and ALSO cropped 2 pixels from width and one from height (478x233x8bit color bmp @ 109k or 112,588 bytes)

I reloaded as expected and there is NO lag before image load. NONE. Shoot, it comes on faster than I can turn the key practically! I actually added back in the words for the nag screen. I figure SOMETHING on the screen is better than that blackness before the "Go" buttons comes up.

Are those "nag words" a BMP as well? Or are they text? Either way, we could mod those as well??? Another BMP, or even change the words to "Where to?" or something like that? Thoughts???

Again, thanks MrBrett!

I don't have a DVD drive on my computer, (I know, I'm living in the stone age). I would be willing to pay $25.00 to anyone who would take the time and make one for me with my own selection of start-up picture.
Anyone thought of making these and selling them on e-bay, bet you could make some good money.
Anyone willing to hook a brother up please e-mail me, stretchb69@hotmail.com
Thanks, Stretch

Stretch...

Most any of us will hook a brutha up, but I am not 100% sure that the BIN files from your DVD will be the same as ours... That is where you have to start. Such that someone would need your DVD to start the process... In the meantime I'm sure we can get you a BMP rolling along... Take that $25 and go to TigerDirect and put it towards a DVD drive... Remember, you don't need a DVD burner man, just a reader!!! You can burn just a CD with you modified BIN file(s)!

Make sense chap???

Yes, it works after I downloaded v1.5. Now theres no lag and no nag text. I beveled the AM image from the TL sales brochure leaving room in the lower left for text. 477x233x8

Wraith: what kind of fonts do you use for the Acura word?

DarkWraith33

The Acura word is from MrBrett, BUT... Do a google search for the Honda/Acura font.... It is:

NSX.ttf

You should find it somewhere and you'll be good to go!!!

does anyone know if this works in the 2G RL?

Thanks wraith...

My friend, aware of my 2 loves, sent me a link to a nice nav background.

rlw7v

Question..I am having problems understanding the directions from number 10 on. after downloading the zip file I noticed there are two dumpnavi programs with the zip download. Can anyone help me with this. as i said I was able to understand the driections until number 9, but don't understand 10 and on.

Rob

When you say you have 2 dumpnavi programs, I think you're downloading too much.
Just download the GUI version.

Then follow the ReadMe instructions.

The problem is the newer DVD nav systems run win CE on a known processor, the old ones are completely unknown (at least last time I looked into it). If we could get some specs on the older system that'd help a lot. I wanted to try throwing the files into IDA Pro, but I don't have a copy of it and don't know anyone who does (that might at least help find the processor - I believe it's some sort of ARM cpu but that was just a guess).

underdog_RENAMED2

So does that mean it may be technically possible to run, say a Windows CE media player to play MP3 or even video files?

rlw7v

hmm, that's what I thought I did. Maybe I went to the wrong download page. Can you give me the link for the page with these downloads just to be on the safe side.

Rob

kona

Sure.

Guess someone didnt like my post, which, by the way, was from another site with info on hacking navigation systems. Oh well.

crazymjb

heres a link to a site with tons of navi pics posted, a lot from Mr. Brett. I had posted the pic by Jtow but apparently some one here has an incredable dislike for women. Anyway, one pic here is not appropriate for those who have never seen a tattoo. Enjoy: http://linuxkiddies.com/bysin/navi/ That is the same as Bysins page**

rets

Keep your tone down, please. We try to get rid of any possible NWS pics/images out of our sites. So... When you see something making you excited out there, there is no need to re-post or forward here, especially that type of pic, thank you.


Btw, one post will be enough. Don't need to post the same comment twice.

rlw7v

Cool, thanks dude! I think I've got it. Looks as if I was infact downloading all three programs. Has anyone added the satellite picture to the original Acura startup screen? You know, the one that comes with the vehicle? I like that on as well as 18. I thought I'd start out with the original Acura picture but add the satellite on the left somewhere. Has anyone done this or can anyone point me to one of these?

Thanks
Rob

Sorry...should have finished everything before I sent the last post. I hit the modify tab and got an error message of "Nag modification isnt supported on your car." I thought I read somewhere that the nag screen COULD be altered with the TL, can anyone advise?

Rob

underdog_RENAMED2

From what I gather, the text on the nag screen on the TL can be ALTERED, but you still have to hit the OK button. Is that correct? Or can we actually remove the OK button?

rlw7v

Ok...I figured out everything...or so I thought. I loaded the disk, and the screen said something about downloading data. Then, right at the end, it says something about check CD. I meant to write the exact error code but forgot.

Any ideas?

Rob

kona

I don't think bysin was able to bypass the OK/GO button.

Rob, after loading your DVD, the error code is normal. Now take out your DVD and replace it with the Acura DVD. You're all set. Your new image should appear and the nag text is removed. The rest of the navi functions should perform as normal.

rlw7v

hmm, I put the disc back in thinging that maybe the error screen was normal (like you said) I put the DVD CD back in and it started back up normally, however it had the old picture, any ideas?

Rob

TheDude42

I did that, but there was no working link on any of the pages. All I found was nsx26.ttf, which looks kinda crappy....i.e. the bottom of some of the letters is too thick.

Any chance you can post the font?
