just to add to the hacks already done, I have unlocked the os, (windows ce 6.0) and installed the Mio 4 interface for Chinese sat nav stereos, it runs well on the garmin unit and the bonus is all the new features, like playing movies from sd card, all windows functions, and internet from the tethered phone connection.
had problems with the audio driver not forwarding the sound through the stereo when watching movies, but discovered it works when a song is playing on the media (you get both streams) so I added an 8 hour blank mp3 to run to keep the audio open.
heres some pics, search mio 4 for more info its not my idea but took some hacking from me to get it working on the garmin unit.
Hi does anyone know how to unlock the bootloader so i can load mio pocket?
Cheers

hi, you have to prepare an sd card with mio on it and if you read about installing mio there is a thread on thier forum explaining how to name the self installing files so that when the satnav boots it will auto load the software and install mio, but be prepared to write some scripts setting the boot order of things otherwise you will not have any of seats software running, it is a process and requires trial and error to get it working and will not be plug in and play right off the bat, however seamless oem style operation can be achieved with effort, but it would take a book to detail all the little tweaks i made to get it perfect for me.

I managed to get the Mio Pocket to run but the Native Garmin software takes over and loads.
How did you stop this?
Cheers
Try getting it replaced with a garmin device they run smoother, but still a little laggy

Hey, it's greyed out until you connect it to your car and start it.
cheers
Thanks mate. When I tried to open it in the car an error/info message pops up saying "this cannot be run as it's not install on the original device" or something along those lines.
Any ideas? am I missing an extra file apart from moving that vwusershell.exe onto the device?
Thanks
Can anyone help me please? It's giving me a message about a new vehicle when I try and open the performance tools. So I decided to go back to the stock usershell.exe and now even the ecotrip stuff says something about a new device/vehicle and doesn't run. Any help is appreciated, I want this boost gauge!!
This is all good stuff! I've got an Ibiza FR 1.4 ACT and have 7.16.8 installed on my Garmin. All I've done is download the zip from post #121 and plonk the files in the appropriate places.
It looks great, although I can confirm that after applying these files it removes ECOTRAINER from the Car Info menu.
Also, the boost gauge doesn't work. : (
Well yes. We only have the Option to switch between Eco or Performance. Thats why I made the tool. Could you be more precise with "Boost gauge does not work" ?
