For now my GifExtractor does what you want.
I'll work on updates to see what else can be changed.
I keep you posted.

maybe u can write program which extracts all modules as ordinary files

and the next step would be program which creates os9 module from files

I can extract them but it wouldn't help you. Those are just bytes.
I try to figure out the format of those modules and how the images are stored there.
Then I can embed bigger images.

The next feature is to changed the text displayed in the header
"T26.09A 2005-05-13 SW0.0"

He uses the first one found at offset B1 F4 18.

The only problem is that we don't know how much space is reserved for those images.
Maybe I can figure that out when I get the OS9 system.

Here you can get my program:
GifExtractor

You need .NET 1.1 to run it:

Else there is an error like 0x00000035c.

I tried an image with 11,325 bytes and it worked:

Select your navboot file, click extract. Find the first image with 26.09a and click exchange. If your new image is bigger than 4kb, check the checkbox ignore filesize.
Images bigger than 12kb isn't tested.
That's it.

You're the man, @2wires! I just tried with an image ~20kb and it also works! I make some photo in the evening. Really looks cool.

Thanks a lot to all who works on this project to make it possible! I hope it's still not the end.

This is really cool stuff. I am running a MKIV in a range rover and have been trying to modify the software for ages! How are you guys extracting the files before writing to disc?
Are we now gong to be able to activate off road guidance as was in the range rover MKiii? Can we alter the color scheme as well?

Hey,
Look what I did now:

(The upper right text)

I already uploaded the new program to the known spot.
Maybe someone can write a little tutorial?

I guess that's it for today, but was a lot, eh?

as i understand navboot file is os9000 module ehich contains many files

if we can extract and compact it again we would be able to look to files
decide is this system OS files or vdo-bmw files and so on
and ... we maybe would be one step closer to modify software to enable 3d view in v26 (disassemble them or somesng....)

maybe exchange some extracted files with true 26 ...

2Wires · #**139** 02-20-2006, 11:22 AM

In the navboot are modules and the modules contain file or direct information.
I can extract the modules but not the files, yet.
I would not risk patching the software.
I can give you tools when you need them but I will stay with my 26.09a and changed image.

Tino, beautiful job putting all it all together! You better get ready for all of the hits your site is about to get... I would recommend a counter, for you to really dress up the page with your products, etc and to link to the page vs. the link.

For the X5 community...
