Thread: Garmin Map Pilot for Mercedes-Benz cars

Regardless that you've 'cloned' to a new SD, both the original [virgin] source card and your card have different CIDs which is hard-coded information on the card since it's manufacture. I'm not a programmer so my understanding of this technology is very basic and perhaps faulty, but i believe the CID is not only the Serial # of the card but also several other attributes and any one or some of those might also be used to 'lock' the rest of the information to the original card it was placed on, thus foiling 'cloning' attempts. Commonly in discussion, CID is taken informally to mean only one attribute which is the serial#, usually of between 7 and 10 numerals in decimal. If as has been suggested, only the serial of the card is used to 'lock' it [and if only one attribute is used, the serial is the logical one], then knowing the original card's serial and finding it in a hex editor in the rest of the card's information may allow change of that info on a 'cloned' card to match it's serial instead. It's probably not that easy, but worth a try. Anything further would require ALL the donor card's attributes or a knowledge of which of the others is also used to lock the card, then finding them in hex as well. I really think that's maybe a job for an experienced coder but would vigorously encourage amateur attempts and finding the card's serial is undoubtedly essential anyway. I think the decimal serial may be reversed in hex.
Can any of you guys code?

That's not a good idea because the uploader may be traced on such public sites. It was previously pointed out [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] by NightRider.

provider cant check if he change file name.

Thx

Yes, but if the 'provider' has direct knowledge of these attempts it matters naught what the uploaded file is named. I have much more empathy with the uploader maintaining his anonymity than i have with slow downloads. Try switching countries with a proxy ..... These forum sections are public and therefore easily monitored ...........
