Hacking The Mfd

[oscargps9]

Hi all

I got a bit fed up with the lady voice on my MFD unit so I changed it !

Don't know if anyone else has tried this but its not that hard. I found the software on the internet - the only time consuming thing is editing all the .wav files. But eventually I have had a success, just swop over the files and burn a new disc and watch it update when it goes in. Cool.

Im workig on changing the start up logo now to my own pictures. I have it all in place ready just experimenting with the right place to put it. I will keep you posted if you are interested, and post a pic when its going.

Thats interesting Oscar.....Is it the TravelPilot software your editing the soundfiles on? I've not long bought tthe latest UK version cos I was under the impression that they use their own copy protection and wasn't able to get a naughty version to trial.

yes its the travelpilot - the words are all given a hex number for each one. Numbers are put together in a string to make sentences. you can literally make it say what ever you want as long as you have recorded it to disc. The unit uplaods the sound files from the disc each time you change "select language".
