Manually Install Maps on AVIC-8100NEX


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

​​

I recently moved to the middle east and took my car with an AVIC-8100NEX installed. I've been trying to work around Naviextras Toolbox. I want to try something which requires some help from you guys. Here is what I want to try out.​

 

If you synced your usb with the navigation, "synctool" folder will be created. I tried putting maps in that folder with no success on installing it on the system because of the format. I noticed that the files have a ".stm" format. So what if I got the "synctool" folder from someone in Europe for example and installed it on the usb. If I synced it with the system will it install the maps?​

 

I would like to experiment it and see what's the ​output going to be.

Really?  Sorry for hijacking your thread lol  just strange that two separate people post the same question the same week about moving overseas.

 

Good luck! :-D I hope you find a workaround

It's all good. All I'm trying to do is helping others by trying to solve this problem until there is a testmode. My idea was to trick the system and install other maps from "sync tool" folder that naviextras toolbox create from various igo primo systems. If we can get all the maps and licenses into one synctool folder, we can install the world map on any device that uses igo primo.

It is possible to cheat naviextras toolbox and upload your own files without using testmode. But you can not use any uploaded maps using testmode or using naviextras toolbox without proper licenses for your device model/region or for you device's id. update: Also, synctool folder contents is signed with md5-checksums of files, so it is impossible just to rewrite or add your own contents. Both naviextras toolbox and headunit's synctool will refuse this. But there is a way around this problem, you also need to be familiar with many things like md5-checksum calculation, editing files in right encoding and so on. It's hard to implement.

 

It is possible to hack this system and upload fresh maps for any region, but this is very complex task and it's hard to do this. You need at least two head units of different regions to do this. Also, at this moment you also should disable WARP (like hibernate function in windows), that causes significant increase of head unit start time.

 

Just for example: EU version of F960BT with maps of Russian Federation (not included in default maps set):

Also it is possible to install any other navigation software (including "right" versions of iGo software), but this is also very complex task at this moment. You need to be familiar with shell scripts, android internals and so on. Also, it is very easy to do something wrong and brick your device.

So for the time being its hard for anyone to do it.

 

Thanks for having the time to explain.

He is man who says everywhere that he has working hacked worldwide navigation, but does not give this info to anyone. He also said that we will be a long time to deal with this.

 

http://avic411.com/index.php?/topic/81468-the-avic-development-mod/?p=334441 or this link in the case he edit his message: http://avic411.com/index.php?/topic/81468-the-avic-development-mod/?p=334442

 

We just hacked all this after few days. But this is very hard way to do this. So now we are looking for a way to simplify installation and make it accessible to all for free.

I what to add some speedcam files to the system! Do you have more informations how the update_checksum.md5 has to be caculated after adding own files (including .stm and .md5). I guess an wrongupdate_checksum.md5 is the reason why the synctool do not update after something is changed.
