ill.die.trying Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 I will try that just to be sure. I want to try another mod in there that so i can test if its because the e-break wire isn't grounded, or I'm just missing something. If you don't mind could you link me to a Data.zip with some minor mods that i could test out? or just another value I can change to test things out. Thanks. i would suggest just doing the hardware bypass, but if you really like the software bypass, change the value to 256 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

blankets3 Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 yup okay so its not me than. it wont work. :S I dunno why it isn't but I think it might be the grounding on the E break needs to be done. also is there a guide to doing it the "hardware way"? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hkgms3 Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 I want to do a parking break bypass on our F500BT and im pretty sure after reading quite a bit that the hardware mod alone wont work. So can someone help me out here and give me the break down on what the order is and what is necessary to get these certain DATA.zip files altered/edited so I can use these hacks. Thanks What did you mean by "hardware mod alone won't work"? Hardware mod is better in most cases if not in all cases. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

indubitably Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Hey guys, I have searched but couldn't find the answer still.. Regarding the software bypass, what exactly are you supposed to edit? I know how to transfer the files between testmode and the PC and all of that stuff. However, i have the stock Data.zip archive opened through 7-zip so i havent unzipped yet.. but im wondering which file am i supposed to change the values in? thanks in advance! edit: i would really like to figure this out soon since I just recently purchased the f500bt and had it hardwired.. however, now whenever the gps is on (when the car is on), i cannot edit the gps address, watch videos, or anything even with the parking brake up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
