Hi,
I haven't been here in a while because I am very busy developing the new CarMES V3.

If there are urgent questions please ask them by pm.

The problems with the tmc could result from too big images loaded to the navboot.



At the moment I am working on a very cool new feature:
How would you like to turn your oem 16:9 BMW screen into a TOUCHSCREEN!!!
Of course the original software of the bmw can NOT be controlled by that.
But when you have a carpc, you can control the software on it by the touchscreen.
Amazing isn't it?

The installation can be 100% removed but it is complicated to do. So if someone wants it, you have to send your screen to me.
Or I will make vacations in the US and do it there


Tino

Sounds really cool! - perhaps you should start a new thread with this one so it won't get gobbled up in this already rapidly growing one... I'd sure like to hear more about this...!

ETA Issue

The ETA issue can be resolved by getting the dealer to recode back to your car. I have this issue right now as I loaded the beta version but have changed it a number of times to implement martin's great work. Will get dealer to recode nav to my car.
Sure you all know, but to ensure you dont lose the RDS features (UK) switch off the radio (left knob button) and back on again BEFORE pressing OK to reboot the nav at the end of the upgrade.
This maintains the RDS and INFO features.

Thank you Martin for your work

Steve

That happened to me the first time I tried to install it. first extract the files using WinRar or another that can extract them, and then run the .exe (it will be english). If you try to 'double click' the file you downloaded, it shows German because it was compressed in German.

I have a question for everyone out there with modded logos: Is there a way to make the splash screen visible without turning the car off and waiting for it to go into sleep mode? Some people have wanted to see my screen, and I can never get to come up since I am already in my running car.

Thanks!
Chad

The MK4 of my Mini ist using the same software but i cannot find the mini Logo displayed on my screen when examining navboot files with Gifextractor. :-(

Do yomeone know about other files containing image data? I've been seeking every navboot file but could not find my mini logo.

Found

Found the file mentioned above in the same navboot file. Had to check the option "read "complicated" gifs to find it.

It's working

YES! It's working! Great work.
I've one question and one Suggestion:

Do anybody know how to get rid of the limited filesize? On my Mini i have to use images smaller than 9,7 kb. Bye bye Fullscreen?

And my suggestion: The Software UltraISo ist limited to 30 days of trial. I've been using MagicIso (http://www.magiciso.com) which is only limited to filsize of 300mb for CD and none for DVD. Enough for the nav software cd's.
