dzo. Hello my dear friend.
How did you make the Image.img file on the blue background of the AV menu?
I made a starting background using a makever.c, But I don’t know how to make a background. I ask for help.

It's not makever you need but extractbmp, run it with "encode" as a parameter and the gzipped bitmaps in a directory named bmp1 along with the uncompressed versions.

There's a script in "updated" to zip all the bitmaps. This will all be easiest on a Linux box.

 I know it's not the easiest to use but I really only made this for myself.

thank you very much but no this option does not suit me completely different menu on mrz 05 there is no such !!! I remember that when I changed the language in the folder with the translated files there was a file

 Image.img and after replacing it, the usual blue background has changed to this 

 

This post shows you how to change the splash screen, I've done it on mrz99 and it works fine but you have to know what you are doing and experiment a bit.

I am sorry to post many times.
I almost solved myself.
The product number of the device I had was AVIC0257, and the system name was NA100BOT.VER, NA100FNT.VER, so I think it is NA100.

If you create AVIC0257 in the root folder of SD and insert NA100OPN.VER and NA100OPN.DAT put in it, the navigation is recognized and [4.00000] is displayed as the data version of SD.
However, when you try to install [CRC Err(A)] is displayed.
Are you having problems creating NA100OPN.DAT?

If the file is not correct, please tell me how to convert bmp that can be displayed on Windows to 16-bit RGB 565 format.
I attach the data I want to create and the image I want to display.

https://mega.nz/#F!92YR0SJK!J8zSzo7xpwez4fRG1fAUrg

That .DAT file looks fine (the subaru logo), though it might be upside down. 

Looks like you are close, seems like the checksum in the VER file is not correct.

The other VER files in your zip seem to use a different checksum method, (crc32b). Try the attached makever.c instead.

You might also want to try creating an OPN100 folder with the .DAT file in it and copying the ver file to OPN.VER . When it worked, my folder structure looked like this:

AVICMRZ90/
--NA090OPN.DAT
--NA090OPN.VER
--OPN.VER
--OPN090/
----NA090OPN.DAT
 

makever.c

Thank you for your quick response.
There are two more questions.
The first question is Attached [PIONEER.DAT] How do you check the image preview on the PC?
Second question.
What software should I use to convert bmp to 16-bit RGB565 (NA090.OPN) on Windows?
I am sorry for the basic questions.

Just use gimp.

Nice to meet you.
I got Nissan genuine MP310-A and Daihatsu genuine NMDP-W59.
Both are equivalent to the MRZ 99, and the splashstart launch screen displays the Nissan and Daihatsu logos.
I want to rewrite this.
However, I first want to know how to back up the car company's original [NA090OPN. DAT].
Also, if you do not know how to create NA090OPN.DAT, can you send me a sample?

I don't think there is an easy way to dump the existing splash screen because it's on a separate partition and not accessible to the file manager.

Attached is a data file with a pioneer logo, you can view it in gimp by importing it as raw 800x600 rgb565 with a 512 byte header.

The important thing to get correct is the directory structure for the update, I think the main directory name has to be the same as the product name in:

/USER/PRG0/PF090APL.HTM

Yours probably won't be AVICMRZ90.

PIONEER.DAT

Hello everyone, I have AVIC-MRZ07, seems to have the files encoded in similar way. I tried downloading and compiling the C programs from GitHub and decoding/recoding my files, without luck. Im sharing my files attached, if someone can translate them or explain to me how to do it by myself. Compiling the C programs and running them with the LNG files I have gave weird characters and spaces when I exported to .TXT.

Attached are JPE/ENG files for PF090 and PF110 from PRG0 as they appear on the unit. Thanks for the great work and all the time dedicated to make peoples life easier.

PF090JPENG.LNG

PF090JPJPN.LNG

PF110JPENG.LNG

PF110JPJPN.LNG

 

P.S. I just realized how the installer works. Uploaded on SD, changed USB to SD in the auto exe file. Files copied successfully, tried both for mrz02 and mrz99. Only the background changed, and one text "Close the display" when the display is open. Rest is still in Japanese. Any ideas? Both 090 and 110 files changed, in PRG0 and PRG1

Looks like it's the same as mrz02 so use the .LNG file from that. Try overwriting all the .LNG files.

am also trying to convert C9P6 radio to english , attached is language file, and other files...file structure is similar to the converted ones on this thread...but it seems even if deleted radio still in Japanese

PF090JPJPN.LNG

Here's the NA090JPMZD.LNG translated, this should be the correct one for a Mazda. If not, try replacing the others.

Hi @dzo,

To begin thanks a lot, you're helping quite a lot of people out there.

I was able to change language from JP to Eng, and I'm happy with the files you provided.

I know it's a quite old thread, but I was wondering about getting custom background images for my avic-mrz02.

I followed the instructions and everything was ok apart from the "./extractbmp" which throws an error : "Segmentation fault: 11".

[I'm on mac high sierra]

Thanks for your precious help.

Sikooz

Hi,

Yes, the images are a bit tricky to work with. This is what I do on a Linux box:

copy Image.img to current dir

mkdir bmp

mkdir bmp1

extractbmp

edit the bitmaps in "updated". They must be 16 bit windows 3.x format, gimp can save this format but not many other image editors can.

run the script in "updated" (it needs gzip)

extractbmp encode

This should produce Image1.img, rename it and copy it to the unit.

Hello! I have an MP-310A.
I delete the stock file PF090JPJPN.LNG from the PRG0 and PRG1 folders on it.
I copy in a tezhe of a folder a new file which for MRZ99.
Nothing happens. As shown by the Japanese, and shows.
Although Ilnur somewhere above installed on the MP-309A.
What could be someone can tell.

Such sensation that the system does not pay attention to them at all.
Like a bud, she reads a language from another place.

Thank.

MP-310 is a Nissan model so the language will probably be called NA090JPJPN.LNG (NA stands for nissan), try the one I made for MP-309A (mrz0047) but make sure you copy the existing file first and post it here if the translation is wrong.

@dzo my avic-mrz99 keeps turning on an off every couple seconds.. i tried your language fix and it worked thanks much but can you help??? i thinking it the firmware need reinstalling or some thing

 

One thing you can try is to delete or create an empty file called "PRG.FLG" in /USER, this will swap to the other application firmware installation but it won't help if the problem is with the base OS. Also, if you start up the unit in engineering testmode, there are some tests it can run but you'll need google translate on your phone to navigate the menus.

Hi DZO,

Attached is the LNG file available in LANGDATA folder. Please let me know if from it you can make English translation for my MRZ85. Please not that after the MRZ99 LNG file you shared earlier refused to work accurately, I also deleted it and currently am only seeing blank boxes for the headunit since there is no language attached..

PF090JPENG[1].LNG

OK, Here's a first attempt at a translation for MRZ85. I can't test this so it may not work. Rename it to PF090JPJPN.LNG

PF090JPJPN_85ENG.LNG

10 hours ago, Mwassaru said:

Thanks DZO, bad thing is that I did not do backup for the original LNG in my MicroSD. Could there be a rather similar or close to similar model of MRZ 85 ?

There will probably be other language files, e.g. PF090JPENG.LNG, just copy one of these over  PF090JPJPN.LNG.

Hello DZO,

Thanks for the good work you are doing.

I have MRZ 85 and I have tried to change  the language from Japanese to English using MRZ 99 you shared herein. The only problem am experiencing is that the English is not that good and also misleading information from the translated texts. I therefore kindly request you to share with me the specific one for MRZ85 if you wont mind.

Thank you. 

If you post your old PF090JPJPN.LNG file here, I'll see if it's similar to one of the other models or make a new translation.

If you don't have the old file, use one of the others, e.g. PF090JPENG.LNG

I have a very serious problem! Deleted the folders PRG1 and PRG0, replaced the files of others PRG1 and PRG0 not my version. Now I have only the logo mazda and so on the circle. I can not get to the service menu "Left, right, left, right, left, right" menu does not work. Previously, it worked. The script does not work either. It turned out brick. What to do?

Put this testmode key onto a usb stick or sd card:

TESTMODE.KEY

And switch on the unit.

If this doesn't bring up testmode then there is nothing much you can do.

If it gets you into testmode, then you will need to find somebody else with the same model as yours and copy their PRG0 folder.

You should never have deleted the PRG folders

Same result

OK, last try:

testmode_NX007.zip

or

testmode_nx064.zip

20171104_171545.jpg

 

Nope

How about this:

testmode_NX146.zip

1509767142618725202977.jpg

I don't think that's the correct file, but you still need to be able to copy and paste. Can you try the testmode key from post #90.

Bingo as you intructed the directories PRG0 and PRG1. No copy and paste menu

The language strings should be in PRG0/APL/LANGDATA, can you not select a directory for copying? 

I entered item 9 but there is no "user" directory. jpg files attached

 

20171104_1405421.jpg

20171104_1405511.jpg

Can you copy the NX064 directory to an sd card and post it somewhere. You can use google translate on a phone to do a live translate of the japanese messages.

hi dzo, thanks for your prompt response. I can't use the "test mode file" it "displyed "test mode fail, turn off acc" however pressing Navi and left right X3 got me into a test mode menu with 41 directories/modes - some in Japanese.

 

jpg of all the directories attached.

 

I panicked when I realised there is no escape/reset key to get to the main menu.! I turned of the power to reset. phew. Please advise if that was the correct procedure.

Once again thanks, I look forward to further instructions as to which directory to back up and how to proceed.

Item 9 on the first page is the file manager. This should let you copy and paste the language files to an sd card. It should be very silimar to this:

There is a chance that copy and paste doesn't work without the correct testmode key.

Hi all, I'm new here. I have a 2012 Pioneer avic zh77 in Japanese. I read all 21 pages and am blown away at the mods. Exactly what I wished! Conversion to English.

 

DZO pardon me if I am mistaken, do I back up the files to a SD card as per AVIC development mod forum then search and replace PF090JPJPN.LNG with your file?

 

I am not very savy with this mod and feared bricking my unit! I'm based in Auckland.

I'm pretty sure the zh77 is completely different to the mrz77 so it very unlikely my language file will work. Try getting into test mode and post the langdata files here and I'll take a look at them. Don't replace anything though.

Post #264 says this works on mrz06 so try it and see, make sure you backup the existing language files first.  

не могу разобратьÑÑ ÐºÐ°Ðº работать Ñ  fixbmpheader.c

 

I can not understand how to work with fixbmpheader.c

It's a C program that takes 2 parameters, the filename of an input bitmap and the filename for an output bitmap. Compile it and from a command line do:

fixbmpheader b1853.bmp b1853a.bmp

b1853a should then be the correct size.

Я уÑтановил компилÑтор Си под Windows, получаетÑÑ Ñ€Ð°Ñпаковывать и запаковывать Image.img. Ðо почему то не вÑе Ð¸Ð·Ð¾Ð±Ñ€Ð°Ð¶ÐµÐ½Ð¸Ñ Ð·Ð°Ð¼ÐµÐ½ÑÑŽÑ‚ÑÑ, вмеÑто некоторых пуÑтота, например b1853.

Что поÑоветуешь? С уважением.

 

 

I installed the C compiler under Windows, it turns out to unpack and pack Image.img. But for some reason, not all images are replaced, instead of some emptiness, for example b1853. The width, height and color r6g5b6 are the same. I tried GIMP and online converters. I do not understand how you got the same image size as the original, I slightly differ - the original and your b1853.bmp 768054 bytes, my 768066 bytes. What do you advise? Sincerely.

That's what the fixbmpheader.c code does, the mrz99 bitmap format is slightly different to the rgb565 gimp produces. If you run the modified bitmaps through fixbmpheader they should be the correct size.

I've used the V2.1 mrz02_update.zip from your download page. The original background is light greyi/white with a little yellowish.

Is it dark grey with white text? If so, my blue background won't work because it needs black text.

These are the only backgrounds I could find in the mrz02 image file.

b1851.bmp

b1852.bmp

b1853.bmp

Is it any of these? The third is the mrz99 background.
