CNDV-70R hack

[kheller2]

Interesting how your system boot and drive core are newer and my drive app is newer. I was curious what would happen if you used newer voice files, if they actually got used at all.

Great info!

 

Did anyone figure out how to disable the startup warning screen yet?

 

Thanks!

[kheller2]

Press the OK button.

 

Disabling the startup screen is very low priority when keeping just the nav data up to date is a chore. I'm sure it can be done by modifying the operating system code.

The versions are different because of the different models. From what I can tell the OS, gps, application, and language data are the only stuff to change with the system updates.

I have not driven much, but the turn by turn directions seem to be working 100% with the updated voice files.

Not much has changed on my end; I have only added the avic-9dvd into the system. At this point I am kind of waiting to see what will happen with a SD card adapter. I have done some research on the Mercedes-Benz forum about what SD card adapter has worked in their factory navigation systems. The avic and from what I can tell most factory navigations use the Denso company for the navigation unit, so I figured if a SD card adapter works on their units it might work on ours. I have gone ahead and ordered the adapter that they recommend, but it is coming from Hong Kong and can take up to 14 days to get here.

One other problem that I have been having is with my avh-p6400cd. Awhile back, for about a week my unit had trouble closing, I would have to guide it down. The other day while I was installing the avic-9dvd, before I put both units into the dash I checked to see if the avic-9dvd was working. When the avh opened all seemed fine, but when I put it down I heard grinding. Now the unit will not go down at all without my assistance. I have gotten my hands on the service manual so that I can order the gears and replace them. So now I have to take out the avh again to take it apart and find out what gears I need to order, at least most of them seem to be only $2.50 each. Here is a link to the service manual just in case you ever have a problem.

No, I have not figured that out yet. I have just started looking into it and already made myself a lot of coasters. I have found the wording for the warning in the UC010DAT.USA file, but not the programming command that calls for it. It seems that once I change anything in the dat, sys, or apl files the system does not like the disc and asks for the appropriate disc upon a restart. The hard drive navigation systems have the warning located in the apl directory. I have not been able to locate it, so I don’t know if it is in the alldate.wki, sys, dat, apl, or in the file system on the unit its self. Once I get a working SD card adapter and do a file system dump on the unit, I might be able to locate it. Also, if I can get a SD card adapter that will load the system on it I will not have to go through so many discs. I have been using my test version that fits on standard dvd+r discs so that I am not wasting pricey dvd+r DL discs. I have been able to drive around town without any problems in the mapping system, the POI and telephone information was the main stuff that I removed from the IDX folder.

 

Here is a link to the east IDX folder that I use to slim down the CNDV-90r to fit on a standard dvd+r disc for testing if anyone wants to help out in the testing.

Here is a link to an iso of my whole 90r test disc, this is once again the east version

I'll be testing out a version of the CNDV-90R-East shortly. I'm trying to take as much as possible from the 80MT and 90MT and then overlay the needed pieces from 40R.

Also, I think this is the main NEC chip:

POINT directory is same on 90MTE and 40RE

SKY directory is same on 90MTE and 40RE

MARKTP - doesn't exist on 90MTE, took it from 80MTE. did not use 40RE as I did on 80R -<< check works -- I reverted to using the marktp from 40RE as I had some graphic issues-- but that might be because of a messed up dvi.dat file. Note sure. My 70RE used the updated files from 70MTE. Test again when 100MTE comes out.

 

SNDDATA - used 40RE on 70R

Used the 040snd only files from 90MTE. 80MTE and 90MTE have same uc040snd files.

801e30abe6c0055450f4071c5d17e65d ../../90MTE/snddata/uc040snd.esp

84932743b7906a01806fed0437c4c8ff ../../90MTE/snddata/uc040snd.fra

6a930a714590db2acd0c2dac0324ff01 ../../90MTE/snddata/uc040snd.usa

 

VOICE - used the 80MTE voicetp uc010vdc* files.

701 and 801 don't have VOICE dir, they have VOICETP dir and the files differ between 70MTE and 80MTE.

 

IDX - took entire 90MTE tree, no merge

 

BG - changes and merges

90MTE and 80MTE are identical in bg and bg2 except the bgopen files

copy 90MTE bg directory to 90R

copy 40E to 90R dir

took 40E bg/*.hcs files

Took all the 90MTE /bg/pim529/ files to 90RE/bg/pim/ (pim529 are idential to 40RE bg/pim/*.pim files except 90MTE has two additional *2.pim files.

bg/pinanime/*, 40RE only has city file (identical), but I copied them from 90MTE

15ca2d54697c1ffdb90af0a7dedc7da1 city.pim

be7d57ee4f6d0bce21634c285d962ca7 skyline.pim

cdc53dd8ee9ccfac3ac0ce893d9088fd twilight.pim

remove the pim529 directory

 

 

in root:

copy all from 40RE

uc010*

ucz*

for my 2nd try on 90RE I used the ucz files from 90MTE.. apparently this is how I did the 70R - confirmed, using 90MTE ucz files.

eu*

 

These files are identical on 80MTE and 40R, 90MTE doesn't have *10* files.

40R has uc010dat files, 801 had uc010dtt files

From 90MTE:

alldata.kwi indexdat.kwi kgrpdat.kwi landmark.kwi metadata.kwi rdstmc.kwp region.kwi

 

Or if you are lazy, just take the IDX directory and the files just above and put them on a 40R and you are golden.

For the CNDV-100R I think I will try to get the system to boot off flash.

Since 8GB and 16GB flash card are dirt cheap now...

 

While poking around the diagnostics menus on the AVIC-90DVD, I backed up the SRAM to the flash card.

 

I then looked at that binary file and it seems to be some sort of DOS file system... even my Unix system thinks so:

 

 

file FILE000.RAM

FILE000.RAM: x86 boot sector; partition 4: ID=0x49, active, starthead 1, startsector 1394627663, 21337 sectors, Microsoft Windows 98 Bootloader, code offset 0x3e, OEM-ID "PIONAV03", FAT 1, root entries 64, sectors 440 (volumes <=32 MB) , sectors/FAT 2, serial number 0x3d668ea2, unlabeled, FAT (12 bit)

 

 

Hmmm... this is only a 220K file and I think the SRAM is limited to 256K (from the diag menu), but the specs at Pioneer say this has a 32MB SRAM system 32MB is a lot of space to stuff a nice OS. hmmm..

[kheller2]

Well, I copied the 40r basic stuff to a 48mb flash card. Then shoved in the 100MTE disc and presto it all works. It seems to look for needed files off the DVD drive first then if it can't find them will look for them on the flash card. Since the 100MT disc no longer has OS files for the avic 80/90 DVDs it looked to the flash card to find them. What led me to that was on occasion the DVD drive won't read a disc and says to insert the appropriate one. Well, last time it started acting up like that I put in the flash card and it booted up the old screens from 2005 with no map data.

 

What's this mean? That means all of you people with avic 80/90 NAV systems just need to copy off some files from your last working Nav disc to a flash card then use the latest cndv-100mt discs and you have updated maps. Now I think the last touch screen code was on the 80MT and the last remote control code was 40R. Those of you with remote control units don't put anything in other than the latest 100 or your system will be upgraded to touch code. 90MT might work too, but I haven't checked to see if the OS for the avic 80/90 is still on there.

 

Hmm anyone want to give me a old touch screen head unit so I can get rid of this remote control system?

for the rest of us remote system users which files need to be copied for the 40R to a flash card in order to use the 100MT (west)?

Hallo

 

I need these ISO. Pleas upload this. Link on page 2 is not actual.

 

Thanks
