Enabling trip computer on TL natively

Enabling trip computer on TL natively
As I promised before, here is a patch against HMIManager.exe that makes your info menu look like this:
1. Trip Computer
2. Voice command help
3. Calendar
4. Calculator
5. A/C Controls
6. Diag Menu
It is designed for the TL navi ver 3.50 (Orange disk, bnhh401a.bin) Sorry, folks, but I am not going to adapt it to any other vehicles/versions.
The patch is very well written and does not break any functionality. The only thing you're going to notice is that Calendar/Calculator menu items are enabled when you hit "Info" button before accepting legal disclaimer. They should actually be disabled at that time. This is a limitation in navi code for info menu, only menu items at the end of the menu can be disabled. Selecting Calculator/Calendar before accepting nag screen won't give you anything because PIM thread is not active at that time.
I'll take care of removing the nag screen later.
You people owe me a truckload of beer.
The patch (though most of you want to get the precompiled version below)
Same patch, compiled as windows executable using some badass old school tools.
All you need to do is extract HMIManager.exe, run the patch, point it to HMIManager.exe (actually, to HMIMAN~1.exe, because that badass crack compiler came from 1990-s), pack HMIManager.exe back to BIN file and load that file to your navi.
Enjoy!

thanks man, but one question, can we just rename the file that is patched to the file the navi uses for diffrent versions?

Anyone do this yet? How does the AC controls work? Are there any downsides to it? I.E. When looking at the original Trip computer post people who played with the AC ran into problem of it displaying wrong.
Also, does it still lock up on the diag screens and never compleate and does F CAN still say ok with errors?
Thanks, if no one has this thats ok, at some point I will try it than, but if people have I rather not spend the time on it.

Can you tell us what is changed in HMIManager? I am not running the same version and software as you, so the patch won't work. Can these changes be made with a hex editor?
Thanks!
Thanks!

I extracted bnhh401a.bin and tried to patch the HMIManager.exe and I got "CRC check failed. Ignore?"
I click on "yes" and it came up with "Data mismatch. Ignore?"
I stopped here...
I do have the 3.5 disk (orange)
Thanks for doing this!

I can patch it with no problems using the above referenced patch.

Damn!! Can anyone else post a patch/unpatched HMIManager.exe from v3.50??
#15

2 ways to do this if you have the 3.40c disk
1. get the updated NAV disk (3.50)
2. get a patched HMIManager.exe from a 3.50 and put that back to the bin file (UNCONFIRMED)
Would someone please post the exe file so I can try this?

I have an 04 with an orange navi disc, but it's version 3.30.
I looked at HMIManager with a hex editor and I can see the menus and such. Looking at the offsets in the patch, it seems it may be pretty close, assuming some of the changes were in the neighborhood of the menu text.

no joy on the 3.40c using the HMIManager.exe from 3.50
I patched HMIManager.exe from 3.50 but the file was too big to be fitted back into the bin file.
Updating HMIManager.exe ...
The size of the updated file must be less-then or equal to the size of the old file.
This feature might be introduced in a newer version.
Updated file (COMPRESSED): 868391 bytes Old file (COMPRESSED): 868376 bytes
So unless there is some way we can shrink the compressed file by 15 bytes I'd say 3.40c is dead in the water.
15 bytes.... so close yet so far away...

SUCCESS on the 3.40c!!
Thanks goes out to AngryDad and datmrman. I edited out some stuff out of the HMIManager.exe from the v3.50 and was finally small enough to fit in the v3.40c bin!
Here are some pictures of the new screens...
I am currently working on finding a place to host the patched HMIManager.exe file. It should be up shortly.
Thanks again! Keep up the great work!

Thanks to BrandonClaps for hosting the file...
Here you go guys...
http://home.usadatanet.net/bclaps/MPG.rar
download the file
extract the file "MPG.exe" with the password "kennyc"
rename "MPG.exe" to "HMIManager.exe" (it's case-sensitive)
You can now pack the file back into the BNHH401A.BIN using dumpnavi.exe
the command for that is "dumpnavi BNHH401A.BIN update HMIManager.exe"
Voila, burn all 9 files on a cd/dvd and upload into the navi.
These are under the "info" menu....
Thanks again Brandon!

My system is using BN2HH12C.BIN. Do you think it would work to drop your patched HMIManager into this bin, even though it's not BNHH401A.BIN?

SWEET!! I will get this loaded on my TL tomorrow. Thank goodness I have the 3.5 version. Has anyone tried using the CEBin program from the other thread to load the HMIManager.exe file? That one does not complain about size issues compared to dumpnavi. This just saves time from editing hex files.

anyone in Northern NJ willing to do this for me?
this is something I definitely Cannot do, but something that I really want.
I have a 2004 TL. Don't know which version of the navi I have.
Whoever comes through on this, I can guarantee $$$$ to you.

Try this link if the file on Brandon's link does not work.

I think you grafted the 3.50 .bin file to the 3.40 HMIManager, didn't you(?), but I don't want to introduce an earlier version of anything into my sys. So is there any difference between the modded 3.40 HMIManager and a modded 3.50 HMIManager?
