The unit i have is the 0252 i believe i can upgrade to 0253 on this one, not sure though as the unit was sent away to be hacked a few years ago, I'm wondering if upgrading to 0253 will remove the hacking already done.
The 8" screen requires the tiled version of software i am aware this is a later edition so wondering what is the latest mib2 unit i can buy and diy patch, i will keep the existing 6.5" unit and mib2 unit to put back into the car if i ever sell it.
can 0516 units be diy patched ?
There is a translated
how to on moving mib2 standard trains if you look back. You need programming skills. Thus 5xx is off unless you got those skills. East Yorkshire Retrofit do have a paid service for that.
"If you would like to add the newer "Tile Menu" to your 02XX unit we offer this via a postal service at a higher price. This service updates your unit to 04XX or 05XX."
Stipulates it's not DIY. The process moves stuff around in memory blocks and if you do an upgrade off train it leads to problems.
I don't reckon that bit is DIY, probably have to have the unit on a workbench and suspect they run retrofitters software on it to shift memory locations around. You read that on the thread. Python was being used. I think what's on the thread is a translation, Not that anybody did it on the thread from memory. These are toolkits that retrofitters sell to each other. That's why hobbyists get uptight if they think their not for profit software is being sold.
Lastly if the adjustments were FeCs it should still read them within train.
