Picture Hack for the satnav - Page 3

MoOriginal · 13th July 2007, 12:21

Am i missing something
Ive taken this image and made it the right size
Opened it paint and then reduced the colours to 256 and its looking like this
is this correct

Sorry just realised that the file is 111 kb so too big to add

Kremmen · 13th July 2007, 12:29

Upload it to Photobucket and post the link

MoOriginal · 13th July 2007, 12:44

Could anyone make an iso ready to change a picture and share it?

Regards

Easier said than done! This hack is easy because you can find, extract and replace the bmp image in the BIN file. The POI's are well hidden in the code and therefore some serious hacking and coding is required. The guy's in the US on the Honda/Acura forums have been trying for a while now without much success!

I'm sorry to say, I doubt it will ever happen unless Honda update the firmware to allow the bulk import of POI's in a future map update. Again this is unlikley due to thact they would not want to open themselves up to litigation!

My car was made in March 07. Anyone else got it to work on a new car?

Of course I could have done something wrong, but I followed the instructions to the letter and didn’t get any errors.

I got exactly the same result, no errors, just a blank screen. Yes, i followed the destructions explicitly too.

I have the 2005/2006 3.03 version disc, and so I think this screen hack should work. Therefore I'm having a go at it, however I have a problem with the instructions.

What do these bits mean? What do I have to do? Confused with command line stuff...

bysin SMGA2.bin update Opening1.bmp Opening1.bmp

Thanks

Hello!
I have a problem. After bysin cmd line I get a response 'Unable to find opening1.bmp on BIN' . Ver.3.01 .Any suggestions?

Hi all.
The procedure to hack picture is valid also for the new version 3.23?

Thanks

kekonline · 20th April 2008, 00:41

Hi everyone, im new to this page, i have been reading lots of post. Im sorry if my english is bad. i have been trying to do these for at least 6 hours and i haven´t managed to get it right. i think my problem is getting the image in 256 colours, in paint shop pro do you select the option standard/web? Thanks

kekonline · 20th April 2008, 00:43

Hey p64 you need to go to the file properties and take the tick off the read only checkbox

hope that works

weclome aboard

attach your image in here and I'm sure someone will be able to work out what's going on

Pottsy · 20th April 2008, 08:50

I think I used PSP 7 - maybe this is the problem?

Ok, Thanks here is the pic.
zSHARE - save2.bmp

Thanks a lot

Pottsy · 20th April 2008, 10:48

kekonline,

That bmp works perfectly for me without going through PSP7. Though I did also put it through PSP7 and saved it as saved2a.bmp, and that also worked fine:

Code:

C:\temp\8216\Release>8to16 save2.bmp Opening1.bmp
palette starts at 00000036
data starts at 00000436

C:\temp\8216\Release>8to16 save2a.bmp Opening1a.bmp
palette starts at 00000036
data starts at 00000436

C:\temp\8216\Release>

I have attached the Opening1.bmp here too.

kekonline · 20th April 2008, 12:32

Ohhh,

Thanks a lot im going to try it just now!!!

Muchas Gracias

kekonline · 20th April 2008, 13:16

well, i couldn´t make it work, i keep getting a black sceen, y did the last step with the

bysin SMGA2.bin update Opening1.bmp Opening1.bmp

but it still didn't work, i have the 3.03 dvd and a civic from de 2008 from spain, do you think that make any difference? Any way all civic are nicely made in the uk. i must be doing something wrong and i have no idea.

Any last advice?

Thanks

Pottsy · 20th April 2008, 14:35

My 3.03 never had these files (which is odd):
SMGA.bin
A0000_00.MNG
DCA0.REG
PRG_INFO.MNG
UPDATE_APL.exe

Does yours? Have I got this right - you did the bysin thing and it worked, you updated the firmware with a CD and it worked, but when the satnav boots you just get a black screen? Is that what is happening?

kekonline · 20th April 2008, 17:23

I have just re-checked and i have version 3.06, i have the quoted files and i did yes did the bysin thing and it worked, i put the cd and it worked, but the sat nav disc and i get the black screen. So yes you go it right. you do all the stuff in the folder that says release, right?
