axxman Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 I guess this is not something you think we can ask of either XM or Pioneer to update for us? no Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fredflyer Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 I guess this is not something you think we can ask of either XM or Pioneer to update for us? I already tried to. This is what I wrote on some on the other posts regarding update the XM station logos: I just got off the phone with Pioneer and they said that the station logos are updated through the Map Update discs. The next map update won't arrive until April '09! Lazy *** Pioneer . Take several hours to fix this and make your customers happy. I'd be willing to pay someone on here, that has the skills to fix the station logos, $20 for their service Well, I say that everyone should either: 1) Call them at 800.421.1404 (opt 2, 3, 2, 2, 1, 1) and let your voice be heard, or 2) email the message below to Pioneer at customer.support@pioneerservice.com ** Please forward this to the head (Manager) of Customer Service ** As you may or may not know, yesterday XM and Sirius completed their merger and changed the station lineup for their service. As a result, most all of the station logos displayed on your navigation units are missing. So, last night I emailed your department to ask about a fix. Well, I just got off the phone with your customer service department and was told that the XM/Sirius station logos on all Pioneer units will be updated with the next Map Update due out in April. You are doing a disservice to your image when you're going to make ALL your customers that own a navigation display (Z-series, D-series, N-series & F-series) wait 6+ months to have their displays corrected. Normally I could understand the wait...if XM or Sirius makes a slight changes to their station lineup. BUT, they just merged and more than 2/3 of the stations (and logos) have changed. I'm not the only one venting my frustration. A browse at the AVIC411.com forums will show other customers that would like this resolved: http://www.avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19377 http://avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19359 http://www.avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19365 Please don't make your loyal customers wait 6+ months and spend $120 to fix their displays.

axxman Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 looking at the lineup changes, for the sites that just changed channel number but still have the same program, wouldnt it work to just rename that file? for example. channel 103 is now 157, so would it work to just rename that file? assuming the appropriate change was made in the .dat file. incidently, I will get a mac but it will have to wait a while. I am saving up for the 24 inch iMac Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kruff10 Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 where can i get this IMAGETBL.DAT program from and wherecan i get the new xm logos from also?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
axxman Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 27 is now 76 28 is now 75 52 is now 87 78 is now 28 94 is now 85 95 is now 86 96 is now 88 97 is now 89 113 is now 77 110 is now 78 112 is now 79 103 is now 157 128 is now 136 157 is now 160 244 is now 96 245 is now 125 105 is now 124 104 is now 128 246 is now 97 243 is now 95 I think for most of these we can get away with just renaming the files as well as making the appropriate changes in the .Dat file. I counted at least 38 new icons total. there were 14 or 15 I was able to rename so that leaves 20-25 new icons that need to be created. I have most of them in jpg format, I will post shortly. icons.zip Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kruff10 Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 ok can u please tell me every program i need to get and what i need to do to get these new icons on my d 3 im ready to get to work Quote Link to post Share on other sites
axxman Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 The first post in this thread explains the process needed to make the changes. you will need something that can exctract/create iso images pim editor jpg editior (photoshop) and a burning program capable of burning an iso image to disc, (dual layer dvd) also a hex editor, this is beyond me. There is another thread somewhere in this forum where they discuss changing the icons, however I do not think anyone has attempted to change this many icons at one time. dual layer dvd's are expensive. so I recommend we be patient until the guy who started this thread manages to get it down, he seems to know what he is doing. Hopefully my theory about just renaming the icons that have changed channel numbers is valid, that will save some time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kruff10 Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 how do i get the disk image to my computer? (ripping) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
axxman Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 that is what an iso editor will do. again, I am recommending you just wait a little for us to work it out. or read up on the subject a little. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
axxman Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 well my theory about being able to just rename the files that have changed channels didnt work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tnova Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Can someone get and post a list of the stations that show the logos (working), and the stations that are not working after the programming change? for instance: non-working channel no: channel name 20: XM 20 on 20 working channel no: channel name 28: Escape The XM site has some channels titled like "BBC Radio One" but on the radio it shows as "BBC Radio 1" so can someone help out to get the right ones from the radio. I'm working on the IMAGETBL.DAT file w/ Hex workshop. Should be easy if I can just get the channel names. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
axxman Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 seems to me the best way would be to take a printout of the new program guide and go station by station, a bit of work but should doable. I just downloaded a hex editor and opened up the .dat file. all the names show up, looks like I should be able to just change them. I am burning another disc right now to see if I can see the 4 images the guy in orlando posted, if that works, I will try editing the dat file, if that works. I will edit the dat file using the names on the program guide. update, no luck, here is a list of sites that show up, interesting, the stations that have a new channel number still show up fine, but if they have changed the name, they dont. xm chill is still the same number but now it is called sirius xm chill, it no longer shows the icon. Now I am really confused. xmicons.xls Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tnova Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Here's what I have so far, attached excel file. Someone should fill in the gaps and check for mistakes. Yes, its tedious. The hex structure of the file seems very easy to understand. You'll need to recalculate the string length at offset 2 for each station. e.g.: 0004070454686520343073000000000000000000 00 = begin structure 04 = channel number 07 = string length 04 = channel number 54686520343073000000000000000000 = The 40s I have a prototype imagetbl.dat I'm testing now, will let you know how it works out.

axxman Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 tnova, take a look at this discussion, it will probably make better sense to you: http://www.avic411.com/forum/viewtopic. ... os&start=0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
