iPhone MobileMusicPlayer Accessory Attached message.. Need a Hacker!

[docpaul]

I've just used the above methods on my 2.02 iPod Touch and it's working great!
There is the odd glitch where the home button doesn't work - I use the double tap > music >home button method, and sometimes I get lines accross the screen but otherwise many thanks to the posters in this thread!!

Can someone please post what the hex code should look like? I have an iPod touch v1.1.4 that I'm trying to eliminate the splash screen on when connected to a VW iPod adapter, am technically adept but no coder Can't get it to work, just keep getting the splash (accessory attached) screen. Replaced the ASCII string _initialize splashscreen with _teardownsplashscreen, then copied the HEX string corresponding to the ASCII string for _teardownsplashscreen, choosing find & replace and adding 00 00 to the original HEX string. Didn't work, at a loss...help would be appreciated!

 

[schuntzie]

Never mind, I figured it out! Turns out _teardownsplashscreen is NOT the same string as _tearDownSplashScreen Works great; though I do see the black screen on occasion, powering the head unit off & then on gets past that. And the radio controls still control track selection, perfect! Thanks to all for doing the legwork!

Thank you very much
but, can you explain the steps in pictures so that it will be easier for us, also give us the direct link of the HexEdit for windows, we appreciate what you do


thank

FYI - activea and i found a solution:

1. get a hex editor (for example HexEdit for MacOSX)
2. copy the executable MobileMusicPlayer from /Applications/MobileMusicPlayer.app/ to your computer
3. enable "Options - Overwrite Mode" when using HexEdit
4. search for string _initializeSplashScreen and replace it with _tearDownSplashScreen (add 00 00 at the end to compensate for the different string lengths).
5. search for string _suspendMainUI and replace it with _resumeMainUI
6. save
7. replace "MobileMusicPlayer" in "/Applications/MobileMusicPlayer.app" with your patched file

Now you should have full control over the IPhone/IPod Touch when connected to your car stereo or other accessory.

Activea and i do not take any responsibility for any problems you might encounter. Drive safe and let your co-driver operate the iphone/ipod!

What he means is that you need to go into the number code on the left that accompanies the text code on the right. It takes a few tries to see it, but as you type in new text, you'll see the numbers on the left changing. When you get to the end of the new code line, there's two characters (and two corresponding double-digit numbers) left unchanged. You just need to write in 00 00 in those two spaces to make up for it.

@UAEMAN: Send me an e-mail (check my profile) and I'll send you back a copy of my patched file, which I just updated for firmware 2.1. I checked it in the car and it works fine, though I can't guarantee anything, etc., etc...

 

[HolyMackerel]

Does anyone know of a way to charge the iPhone using the VW connector ?

Is this for Iphone or Ipod Touch, I seem to be having a lot of trouble with the 2.1 editing, also I've noticed that Erica's Utilities is not available in Cydia? If anyone could help I 'd greatly appreciate it.

Not sure why yours wouldn't be chargin. Mine has always charged when hooked up to the VW connector.

 

[ElBrooklyn]

Mine, too. Charging has never been a problem. The charging function can be blocked, though, if one of the pins on the connector is bent, or if there's debris in your iPhone port that keeps the pins from connecting properly. Otherwise, if it's not charging, it might be a problem with the installation.

I'm doing this patch on a 2G iPhone. I don't know if Mobile Music Player is the exact same program on the Touch.

See my earlier post. I've rewritten step 18 and added step 18a to be clear about how to edit the hex code.

When I did this yesterday, I found Erica Utilities in the Utilities section of Cydia. If you're not seeing it, it may be because you've already installed it. If the terminal-line commands -- "ldid, etc." -- are working, you've already got Erica installed.

 

[ElBrooklyn]

If anybody here referred to my step-by-step instructions post from July 28, check it out again. I've updated step 18 and added step 18a and a few at the end to be absolutely clear about what you need to do to zero out the hex code.

I really want this to work for people. This VW connector (and the same one is in Audis and some BMWs, I think) drove me crazy for almost a year because it just didn't work right, and I'd spent over $300 getting it put in. Now it finally does what it's supposed to do.

So if there's any help you need, keep asking and I'll try to help as best I can.

I'm starting to think it my be a problem with the vw connector.
The iPhone chargers nomally using the 240 volt connector or usb line in.
My old ipod (like the on ein the original thread picture) chargers no probs in the vw... sadly no go on the iPhone.

Would also be great if someone could post/attach the modified musicplayer app for the iPhone latest firmware version for those of us who have 10 thumbs when it comes to programming

I had hoped the latestet firmwear release may have addressed the splash screen issues so I did not have to jailbreak my iPhone !

Thanks for the response, it actually turns out for whatever reason Erica's Utilities just wasn't showing up in Cydia for me, checked it the next day and it was there, installed it ran ldid and everything was cool. It was driving me nuts though because I've been a subscriber to this thread for a long time and never had any super major trouble getting this to work. But everything is kosher now.

OK so here is the issue.

I have a brand new VW Golf (2008 build)
The car has a VW ipod adaptor installed.
When I connect it to my iPhone I get an apple official message on the splash screen stating that the accessory is not designed for iPhone and will NOT charge the unit.
The message goes on to ask if I want to switch to airplane mode.

The connector charges my old iPod (like the one pictured) but will not charge the iPhone ?

At first I thought it was a connection issue on the base of the iPhone after someone posted here that dirt or dust could negate/effect the charge.

As the warning screen states the accessory is not designed for use with iPhone I'm thinking I'm screwed.
Not only have I wasted $350 on a connection I can't use I have had the centre consule in a brand new car butchered so the thing would fit !

Any suggestions ?

[HolyMackerel]

Oh one more thing... anyone worked out a way to get the iphone to push the sound from a voice call through the car stereo ?
Once connected (despite not charging and throwing up the standard accessory attached splash screen so you can't control the ipod) everything works. When a phone call comes through to the iPhone the ring is sent through the speakers and the music played through the iphone is faded out.
Once the phone is answered the sound of the received call is switched back to the iphone speaker (hands free mode).

Would be great to be able to get the callers voice sent through the car stereo/speakers and to be able to talk through the iPhone microphone ?
I am guessing this feature has been disabled for possible feedback from the iPhone mic through the car stereo/speakers ?

Kind of an old thread but i'll chime in as I had the same issue..

When plugging in your iphone / ipod touch, you should get the "this accessory was not made etc etc etc.." click no, once you're at the "accessory attached" screen push and hold the home button for ~6 seconds.

This will stop the music playing, and kick you back to the home screen. Go back to the iPod and voila, full control over the iPod now.

You still have to control the volume through your radio, and if you have text capabillities it won't display on the radio either, but you can see everything on your ipod.

Sadly no go for me with this method either.
Everything works as described (hold button and kicked back to home screen) but this only last for 2 seconds and then the accessory attached splash screen snaps back into place (no control or view of ipod on the iphone)

My 3 month old brand new factory installed VW adaptor DOES NOT re-charge/power my iphone.
This is in a brand new VW Golf.
$350 wasted on the adaptor... be warned it is a piece of crap and I am extremely disappointed with VW and the dealer !

 

[djcraze]

Very excited about this guys..

So.. I tried all the methods here, with no luck what so ever.. SOOO I tried my own little diddy at this... and it worked.. FLAWLESSLY *knock on wood*... and by flawlessly, I mean it works as it should. You plug in the dock-adaptor.. It shows "This accessory is not supported, turn on airplane mode?".. and thats it. You can open the iPod app if you like, and it will not show "Accessory Attached".. You can control your music via the Stereo, or via the iPod app. Everything works. There are no crashes, no nothing.

I cant think of what model my Alpine stereo is.. Sorry

anyways, this is what I did..

Open up MobileMusicPlayer and search for "showAccessorySplash"... and guess what? Replace it with hideAccessorySplash.. haha! Not even joking

Works great for me.. Hope you guys can get it working too .


This is a 2.1 iPhone 3G that I tried it on.

Oh and sign it, using the method described previously.

I'm off to try this now - I'd given up on the first hacks as they have been unreliable. The other method of killing the media player (home button for 5 seconds) didn't allow control from my stereo and it messed up my podcast history.

If this works then I'm buying you a ibeer.
