docBliny Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 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. //Tomi B. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ill.die.trying Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 have you tried digging in the ezrider.exe? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bman69 Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 can this be done for the navi messages as well? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BorisM Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 can this be done for the navi messages as well? Won't be nearly as easy... Here, he just blanked out the message. It's still there, just invisible. For the Navi message, you need to bypass the actual call that brings it up, otherwise you'd have to click on a blank screen, because it would still be waiting for the OK button to be pressed...

docBliny Posted June 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 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. //Tomi B. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
askharveyg Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Thank you, thank you, thank you. I used your zip mod, & it worked for me. I see no side effects - so far. All I can say is, Thanks a lot! Harvey Gordon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

docBliny Posted June 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 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. //TB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jfinley0 Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 I tried it and the reverse image still comes on. Did I miss something? The image is not as dark as before. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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. //Tomi B. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tk421 Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Thanks a lot! I just did this and it works perfectly. Much nicer than that stupid message. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
