Cyclops™ Safety Cameras for Garmin

**catymag** · 1st November 2011, 02:08 PM

the only reason I'm a bit lazy ,lol.
pietu posted in this thread in post 68 a lil application to patch cyclops in one second and I used it, otherwise should patch them in hex one by one.

Cyclops Safety Cameras - November 03, 2011

The new releases of Cyclops Safety Camera with FID/MapID=2496 doesn't work with newer Garmin units. Garmin files with FID/MapID >= 2200 may need the GMA authentication. Avoid the need of GMA authentication by using patched GPI-files. This release will have original files and the ability to create 3 other flavors.
Now there's also South Africa included.

Original Cyclops Safety Camera files. November 3, 2011 (latest files but with Cyclops data not updated since Oct 27):

Code:

Create matching "*safety_camera_*.unl" files with generated 25-character unlock code. Use JM v1.5 and generate with UnitID or CardID together with FID, PID, RgnID & VenID. Use the values for the set that you prefer.
My test seems to indicate that the "unl_" series with FID=65535 doesn't need any UNL-files with unlock codes.

Original files is posted above. Here's the patched sets to avoid GMA authentication problems in newer devices:

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ] Uses FID=700 as related to previous pietu releases. Just rename files without the heading "700_" and reuse all previously created UNL-files.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ] Uses FID=900 and PID=9 to be closest match to earlier original Cyclops GPI-files before they changed from 900/9/r/v to 2496/9/r/v. Just rename files without the heading "900_" and reuse all previously created UNL-files.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ] Uses the same FID, PID, RgnID & VenID as unlocked Tour Guides. Seems to work without UNL-files (the obvious goal of course).

There's also a "CyclopsPatchSet.rar" attached with some VBScript files. They use ADODB objects to manipulate binary files.
It's a quick-and-dirty solution but works well during tests.

Hi,
With my Nuvi 265w the UNL cyclops files work ok without unl locking codes. Great discovery

They work fine in my devices too, thanks BB for the CyclopsPatchSet

Some extra info about patch technique from [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Patching can be done by using a HexEditor and edit manually. I have hinted how to do that in earlier posts like [Only registered and activated users can see links. ].

To patch with different FIDs like 700, 900 and 65535 it makes sense to have some application or script to repeat that process. That's why there's some VBScripts attached in post [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

The script takes a pre-created binary array from a "patch*.bin" file. VBScripting are not easy to create ByteArrays inside code so it's better to have a predefined file for the values and just copy & paste one file into another with the script.
Here we take FID=0xFFFF (65535), PID=0xFF (255), RgnID=0xFF (255) & VenID=0x00 (0).

The offset value 0x26 (38) to find the start address 0x2D (0x2D = 0x26 + 0x7) is marked in the picture. Seems like it's 0x26 for most Cyclops files and then this Cyclops file have FID starting at address 0x2D. FID hex-value 0xC0 and 0x09 should be swapped (little endianness) and 0x09C0 gives 2496 in decimal form. We want to overwrite 5 bytes with new values to circumvent the need of GMA and possibly even UNL files.

- Yes, I confirm. On my old nüvi 255wt too, no need to associate an .UNL file to unl_safety_camera_france.gpi

Cyclops Safety Cameras Patch Tool
based on the script ballebar´s Credits to Him
More Info in post 77

Copy same folder with Cyclops cams and run

700.rar Uses FID=700 as related to previous pietu releases. Just rename files without the heading "700_" and reuse all previously created UNL-files.
900.rar Uses FID=900 and PID=9 to be closest match to earlier original Cyclops GPI-files. Just rename files without the heading "900_" and reuse all previously created UNL-files.
UNL.rar Uses the same FID, PID, RgnID & VenID as unlocked Tour Guides. Seems to work without UNL-files (the obvious goal of course)

Here is a little C# application (CyclopSafetyCamera Tools v1.0.0.0) that gives you the information of a cyclop gpi file, and can change the FID's or unlock the file.

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

usage : use the "Load file to open a cyclop gpi file" or just drag and drop the cyclop gpi file on it.

When using the FID700 / FID900 / Unlock, a new file will be created in the same folder as the original file, and will be named : [original]_fid700.gpi [original]_fid900.gpi [original]_unlock.gpi
It has been made with the information found on this post, so credit are not for me (or just for having made an exe file :p).

Here is the link : [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Have fun using it.

Could you modify your Tools so we may patch the locked GPI files not only with the parameters 700,1,0,0 or 900,9,0,0 output, but also with any other values of FID,PID,RgnID,VenID?

It'll be useful not only for locked Cyclops Safety Cameras files, but also for subsequent unlocking of any GPI files that are locked by means of GPI Creator with FID >= 2200.

I think cyclops comes soon only UnLocked and original, and also i think it is not possible make tool to change FID all gpi file because offset (target bits) not same place in all files

all gpi files can change manualy anyway....

FID700 and 900 is also dinosaur way since ballebar unlock idea.....
