This is a Step-by-step to change the satnav background.

1- Create a folder (c:\SATNAV)
2- Copy the Dvd content to the folder (Double Layer Size Disk)
3- Make a Bitmap with the following characteristics:

- 480x234
- 72x72 dpi
- 16 bit depth
- Color
- 224.712 bytes (* must be exact)
- Check the tips from mel2401

4- Use Bysin to update (Opening1.bmp) in all the bin's (*2.bin) in the folder created (c:\SATNAV) with the new Bitmap.
5- Open favorite software to burn your DVD (single layer)

-Add all files to the compilation (root)
-Sort by size (smallest to biggest)
-Remove the biggest files until you can burn the DVD (single layer)
-Burn it

6- Update the new disk in Sat Nav.

Start the satnav, put the DVD (single layer) just created and close the lid. After an error, go into the diagnostic menu (3 buttons) and chose Version and then Download. Wait a few minutes for the data to load and bingo!

7- Place the new version DL-DVD (another disk) to navigate

I use a Blank unbranded single layer to make the background change and a TDK double layer to make a backup (direct ISO burn) to replace in the Sat Nav.

Hope this clears all doubt's

Good stuff... will try tonight

[markvirgo]

I tried that but bysin will not update the bin files. I get the unable to open bin file message?.


Right I tried on the 3.52 version and got these errors

unable to stat file Opening1.bmp

tried again and got error
invalid rom header

tried again and now
unable to open bin file

confused?

Ok... Is your OperationSystem Windows7 (check folder permissions, please do not perform the update process in the root).
Check also if the file is not read only...
and make:
C:\SATNAV>bysin smga2.bin update Opening1.bmp Opening1.bmp
Update all the bin's (*2.bin)

[markvirgo]

Right I have tried CEBin to change the file Opening1.bmp in
SEAX2.bin SMGA2.bin SJAZe2.bin 10AVNe2.bin 09AVNe2.bin 07AVNe2.bin and that has worked but when I put the disc in and run the update I get the check disc error.

I burned the disc at 2x using imgburn and have tried cd and dvd discs , they check ok after burning.

Hi,
The error message is right!
Check section 6 of the myuser post..
simultaneously press the three buttons for 5 sec.(Menu, Map, Cancel) .. and forces the Diagnostic menu!
..and chose Version and then Download.. Wait..
---Do it all with the engine running!---
Good luck!

The error message was when I selected download from the menu. Is this due to the pic

...does anyone have the original Nav Splash they can upload for me? or is there a simple method for extracting it from the disc?

[J. Derek Riddell]

Why not contact [windstar] via his personal eMail address - see Supporters Section - the latest version 3.60 has changed the sizes \ specs for the start-up screen(s) ...

[Andy_K]

Cheers JDR... already done that .
The disc I have contains a custom Splash screen only and I want to edit it back to the original. Having a try myself until Windstar replies and I'm not doing too bad... I've so far managed to rip the original splash from an older 3.52 disc I had laying around....just looks as if I need to update the 6 .BIN files using bysin now

Ahh, "there's the rub" - all versions up to and including 3.52 use the same parameters for the Startup Screen(s) - for 3.60, NavTeq have sneakily amended it by a tiny amount, but it's enough to render all previous 'Hacks' obsolete ...

[Andy_K]

I was beginning to wonder that JDR ... ah well, I'm just burning a copy using this method from Windstar...

...If this fails I'll just sit looking miserable until he replies LOL.

I'll report back in an hour either way.

[Andy_K]

I can confirm that the above method works fine for version 3.60.

you can zip a pic 1024x720 min. of the file index of your mod cd??
..the pic is too small to read all files..

i use DVD decrypter for create cd.. Very similary to imgburn..

[myuser]

This compatibility list is for version 3.60 (from NavTeq)

Legend 2006 - 2010
Accord 2006 - 2011
CR-V 2007 - 2010
Civic 3dr 2006 - 2011
Civic 5dr 2006 - 2011
Civic 4dr (IMA) 2008 - 2011
CR-Z 2010 - 2011
Insight 2009 - 2011

should work also with 3.52 and previous... just guessing

Hey Guys,

This thread seems to have gone quiet. I recently got hold of a 2009 accord. It has DVD Sat nav and the DISCLBL.INF file states "BATMAN 3.31"

The DVD does not have 10AVNe2 on it, just 07AVNe2.bin and 09AVNe2.bin

bysin successfully updates the opening1.bmp files ( I used photoshop to output the bmp and confirmed that after a bysin update, a bysin extract on the file also spat out the correct file.)

Following descriptions on the thread here I copied all files to CD-R but system hits a Disc read error on the download option...

Any ideas?

Below is the script I am using prior to burning to disc. ( the main set of files are in the SATNAV folder, the ones I modify with bysin are in a separate folder) :-

bysin 07AVNe2.bin update Opening1.bmp Opening1.bmp
bysin 09AVNe2.bin update Opening1.bmp Opening1.bmp
bysin SJAZe2.bin update Opening1.bmp Opening1.bmp
bysin SMGA2.bin update Opening1.bmp Opening1.bmp
bysin SEAX2.bin update Opening1.bmp Opening1.bmp

copy 07AVNe2.bin ..\iso\
copy 09AVNe2.bin ..\iso\

Are you burning as an iso?

[Mikrob]

movies can be viewed on this screen from the disk?

[Mikrob]

For this you can use the screen, except for navigation?
