Thread: Chinese 2 DIN radio/GPS, will not exit GPS mode

He could always try putting a WinCE file explorer on the GPS card (rename the GPS .exe file and name the WinCE file explorer what the navi .exe file was originally named - this will cause the file explorer to run instead of the navi app) and see if he can access any of the 2DIN binaries. If he can, there is a chance that we could run something via the External Programs UX add-on to get us back to the 2DIN functions. If not, we're SOL... :-)

That would probably be my last ditch recommendation - put a WinCE file explorer on there and "see what you can see". It's a long shot, but you never know - you just might get lucky (if everything is running in the same "space").

Here is a link to a few WinCE utilities, including CECMD.EXE (file explorer) in case you want to try what I said above...

Is it a safe thing to do, i mean is there a possibility that i can wipe out some file in the unit?

It's just a file manager - the only way that you can wipe out some files is if you purposely delete them.

Basically, the radio will just start a file explorer instead of the navigation app - from there, you can look around to see if you can see anything other than the navigation app itself. If you *can* see the 2DIN-related files, we could possibly setup the Primo External Program UX add to possibly run them from Primo, which may allow you to return to the 2DIN interface from within Primo. It's a pretty advanced setup though - and that is assuming that you can even see the 2DIN apps at all from the navigation side. A lot of if's, and's and maybe's involved here.. :-)

Are you still within the return period for the radio? If so, I think I'd explore that option before trying to mess with the External Programs thing...
