Does this work with the AE and gps 02.05.10

[HBMike47]

I'll try posting this thread, rather than cross posting everywhere..
I'm looking to d/l the AE disk.. but only found it on demonoid.. (and only 6 leechers at that) but
couldn't get the download, since public logins are closed without an invite from another member.
Does anyone have a link to the .torrent?  or a download site?
I know it's a bit old with AF coming in January.. but really, I'm mostly interested in the new maps since
I have an RB1 anyway...

thanks,

Michael

Does this work with the AE and gps 02.05.10

Yes, but you also need to increment the verison on your hacked DVD to a version > 02.05.10 (like 02.05.11).  There are instructions on this forum for doing that as well.

Since no one can get their hands on the 02.05.10 code, you'll be rolling back to 02.04.00 with the in motion patch.

I've asked everywhere, but no one seems to know the difference between app ver 02.04.00 & 02.05.10

[Details for Mac Users]

I have a REC unit with an AC version DVD that recently failed to load about 10% of the time.
NavTech sent me an offer for a free upgrade to AF if I bought AE now. With the promising AE hack available I thought it was time to give it a try.

The Pioneer DVR-107D in my older G5 Mac is excellent, but will not burn DL DVDs. And all I had is a big cheap spindle of Memorex DVD-Rs. I've read I needed to buy Verbatim DVD +R DLs to make this work, but it was a slow night. So I thought I'd try a single sided Memorex. 

I downloaded the NavPatch.exe and ran it under VirtualPC against a copy of the files I made from my original AE DVD. NavPatch.exe balked the first time until I put all the files in directories on C:. Then the patch only took a few seconds.

Since I had never loaded the original AE disk, I thought I'd also modify the patched version number to match the AE version of 2.04.00 instead of the patch's 2.04.01. I downloaded the free Hex Editor "0xED" which Apple recommends for Developers. It was trivial to roll back the modified versions to 2.04.00 following the advice on this site. I made sure the modified MAIN.APN was placed in both the ZH2FF and ZH200 folders.

Then I inserted a Memorex DVD-R into the Mac and copied all the files into the burn folder, except the following:
U0001_02.BAS
DCA0.AR2
DCA0.AR0
DCA.AR1

I burned the DVD using the Finder's build in mechanism, and took the DVD to the car with my fingers crossed.
I started the Car and ejected the current AC DVD. The NAV unit was asking for a new load of the DVD so I put in the single sided Memorex (that was missing all the large map info). The NAV unit read the upgraded version number (2.04.00) and prompted me to hit ENTER to load the new DVD. This is a clearly different screen than the normal Map load, and you are warned not to turn off the car once it starts. I had my car running and was listening to the radio in case it took longer the the 5+ mins I've read about. If I recall the aux power shuts off after 15 mins when the engine is off, so I didn't want to risk it. It seemed to take about 2 mins before it jumped into the normal part where it is LOADING....(the Maps). It did not come off this screen for many more minutes and it was clear the program was on to the normal DVD Map loading portion.

At this point I turned OFF the car and restarted it.

The I ejected the single side DVD and inserted the normal purchased AE DVD. It loaded normally and everything worked as expected.

The End.

(I realize I haven't advanced the discussion much, other than confirming that everything works as people have discussed. Perhaps I've fleshed out the details for people who wanted to try this with a Mac. It just seemed selfish not to share.)

Thanks to the OPs who provided a wealth of information to make this possible!

I decided to give this a try on my 2007 Jeep Patriot with the 2.04.00 version of the NAV DVD . After running into an incident on Friday night were, even after pulling over to the side of the road, the In-Motion menu still would not turn off. I had to turn the car completely off to get back to the normal Destination menu.

Here is the process that I used (hopefully this will help someone else  ):

- Created a folder on my hard drive with the volume label of the DVD (RB1070_03)
- Copied the contents of the DVD to this folder.
- Ran the patch against the folder to obtain the new version of the MAIN.APN.

Next I ran out to Best Buy to pickup some Verbatim DVD DLs. Thanks to those with advise on looking at the "Made in" origin. I did in fact discover that the 20 disk spindle with the RED packaging was "Made in India", where as the 15 disk spindle (which costs about $30) with the ORANGE packaging was "Made in Singapore". I picked up the 15 disk spindle and proceeded.

- Used WinISO to rip down a copy of the NAV DVD (in order to keep the disk information in tack as advised).
- Replaced the MAIN.APN files in the ZH2FF & ZH200 (which have a date of 10/7/2006 11:47PM).
- Resaved the ISO to file.
- Burned the ISO with Nero.

Then the moment of truth: I placed the DVD in the car, it discovered that it was a newer version, then performed the upgrade. This took about 1-2 minutes for the process to reach 100% and reboot the interface.

I haven't been out of the house since upgrading last night, but will know within the next 2 hours if it was a success.

PS: I'd love to see a hack to disable the startup nag, and have PayPal waiting

Hey folks...I'm a total noob at this and I apologize in advance for this question of it's redundant but I have a P/N 56038642AG in my 2004 Grand Cherokee and would love to upgrade using the AE Torrent I was able to DL. Is this possible by following the steps in the begining of this post or would I need a brand new AE disk to make it happen?

Thanks

Welcome.

The instructions at the beginning of this thread will guide you through the process.  The Verbatim DL media (8.5GB) works the best in my experience.

I have been using this hack, and enjoying it, on my 07 Chrysler 300C.  I just purchased an 07 Cadillac Escalade.  I joined a Cadillac users forum, and all over there are suffering with the lockout of the nav system.  you also can't scroll categories on XM radio while in motion.

is there some talented soul on this forum who could help that situation?  If so, please email me:
richard@outlandis.net

thank you

Hi , I have a 2008 jeep patriot.  got a couple of hack discs from another member but my NAV is not recognizing them as an upgraded version and nothing happens.  no upgrade screen or anything, just acts like normal.   so i am seeing if maybe i should try another source for the hack disc to see if that makes a difference.  can anyone help?  The manufacturer NAV disc says AE so you would think it would work.

also, i can't Private Message on this site.  The browser give me an error every time.  please contact me at wsingino@aol.com

thanks

Hey folks...Just an update.

i have an RB1 as mentioned above. I did the hack mentioned on page 1 of this thread with memorex purple dl's (thats what I had) and I now have the clock when the unit's turned off but thats as far as I got. The in-motion part hasn't been fixed. Any advice or advancements?

Thanks
