I can't for the life of me figure out why these new files just won't take on my F900bt.I have modded it, have new POI icons and the system is just perfect, except for this one XM thing that is driving my OCD up the wall. I have tried putting the files in a bunch of different directories but nothing seems to work. What am I doing wrong?
The updated files have to be placed in the exact locations. You can't just drop them anywhere and expect the AVIC to somehow figure out where they are. The AVIC program is hard coded to read the XM image table and logo/category images files from fixed specific locations.
Logos are driven by files in four directories named XMDAT, XMCAT, XMLPS, and XMDPS. These four subdirectories should be in the DATA\XM directory of the AVIC drive. The logo update has files in the same four above named directories. The files in the 4 directories of the logo update should be copied on top of the existing files in the same corresponding directory on the AVIC.
Thus the files in the logo update XMDAT directory should be copied to the DATA\XM\XMDAT directory on the AVIC drive, the files in the logo update XMCAT directory should be copied to the DATA\XM\XMCAT directory on the AVIC drive..and so on for the file in XMLPS and XMDPS.
Do not delete the existing XMDAT, XMCAT, XMLPS, and XMDPS directories on the AVIC. Deleting these can likely break the whole thing as there other existing files that are required and not replaced by the logo update, in particular the XMDAT directory, which has some kind of versioning file.
