I keep getting that the av.zip file is corrupt. I've tried on two boxes, opening the zip with winzip and winrar. Just me?

I think the recommended Zip program has been 7zip to avoid these types of problems.

Hey Super, Can I have the same thing as warebey 17? I like GUGA' s front menu best too, but I like your red theme. I will PM you too if that's OK. Thanks.

Me too!

I tried it and the reverse image still comes on. Did I miss something? The image is not as dark as before.

Sorry, didn't quite catch that. Do you mean that you can still see the image from the camera or the "CAUTION: IMAGE MAY APPEAR REVERSED" text at the top of the screen?

You'll currently still get the text during boot up. It seems the text is also in another file which is active while the unit is starting up.

the warning? i dont get a warning when i back up...

 

do you mean the thing on top that says "WARNING, IMAGE MAY BE REVERSED?"

Yes, the text at the top of the screen.

I just noticed that the warning is still there when the unit is booting. It is NOT there after that. I guess it runs another program during boot that also needs to be modified.

Attached. It's originally from an F90BT.

Av.zip

I just managed to remove the warning message from the backup camera display. It isn't necessarily for the faint of heart and I certainly haven't run the unit very long to see if there are side effects.

That being said:

1. I got a copy of AV.EXE from my backup (in the APL folder).

2. Opened it in a HEX editor.

3. At around $290FC0 in the file you will see the warning texts as double-byte (Unicode) characters (every other byte is 0x00).

4. I entered a space to replace each character in the string, being careful to leave the 0x00s as-is.

5. Did they same for the multiple English strings (other languages are there, too).

6. Copied AV.EXE to an SD card with the Testmode stuff.

7. Booted into WinCE and replaced the AV.EXE in the APL folder.

8. Reboot - Test - OK.

Modifying executables can be very dangerous. Be extra careful with this one.
