Hack the E46 stock radio

[BimmerWill]

Very interesting....I might get one if it would work on my car...kinda like the idea of it but would have to think about whether it was really necessary. Reprogramming steeringwheel buttons would be a nice touch though.

I don't know if there is a definitive definition for the term re-mapping but to me it means that you are changing the function of something. As in their example, you would re-map the R/T button from the Radio/Telephone function to the OpenTrunk function. That IS NOT what the Car Kracker does. The Car Kracker sits on the K-Bus line and listens for commands, you write little routines that when it hears a specific command, it transmits other commands onto the K-Bus. The example they show for the R/T button looks like this:

IF kbus.codecompare(@RTButton)
- kbus.sendcode(@TrunkOpen)


When the Car Kracker hears the RTButton command, it transmits the TrunkOpen command. What's important to understand is that it DOES NOT SUPRESS THE ORIGINAL COMMAND. This means that you R/T button does two things; change the Radio/Telephone mode AND pop the trunk open.

Thanks for all the info William, keep us updated on your work. I have mine in but just haven't gotten around to putting it together or working on it yet.

So I take that this will do absolutely no good to me since I don't have my phone connected to my E46 in any way....?

Not sure what you mean, since this doesn't have anything to do with your/a phone

Along these lines, do any of you with Nav know how to get rid of that initial warning screen?

When I first got the ZHP, I downloaded and burned software to CD that I then loaded into the Nav computer and did some sort of firmware hack/update.

But now I don't remember specifically why I did it or what it changed, other than putting a customized image on the Nav "welcome" screen. It was supposed to have ditched the warning screen but it did not. Maybe my map DVD is too old?

I know you can, I haven't done it. I know there are tons of tips on xoutpost. com.

Get someone that can do coding turn it off for you... I know you can do it with ncs expert.
