Thread: Unlock Binatone u435 for iGo, if possible !

Hi Boki_Srb, thanks for reading my post and replying.

As I mentioned I have tried connecting with a Windows 7 PC (also a Vista VM and an XP VM) without success :-(

On the Windows 7 PC and the Vista VM I have tried using WMDC and on the Windows XP VM I tried using ActiveSync - In Vista & XP it tries to connect several times but is not successful. With Windows 7 it loads a device driver and the 'Eject' icon in the system tray says 'Eject Generic Serial (PROTOTYPE-- Remember to change idVendor)' - I dont know what that actually means. The Win7 PC is running Pro x64.

The unit is comparatively unused and runs well (though very out of date !) but there could be something wrong with it I suppose.

Should I try the Windows 10 method ? Does it matter if it is a VM or real PC ?

Thanks for trying to help me, I appreciate it.

Hi apolyps3, thanks very much for taking the time to try and help.

I tried the 'explorer.exe' method and the 'YFGo2CE.bld' method - both failed to do anything. I placed them on the root of the SD Card (I tried 2, one 2GB and one 4GB) - the SatNav booted to its normal 2 button 'Navigation' & 'Settings' screen after the 'Binatone' splash screen.

Just so I am sure - when you say that it can be a file or a folder named 'Explorer.exe' placed on the SD Card, is that right ? How does that work ? Just interested.
CANCEL that - I missed the fact that you hads provided a rar of the required files (thanks for that) - yes, I have tried that as instructed.

I will try using the Windows 10 method that you mention today. Does it matter if it's an actual PC or a VM ? Does it matter which version of Windows 10 I use.

Thanks for taking the time to try and help, it's appreciated.
