I have a Phatbox in an '05 Passat. It's worked well until a few months ago, when it stopped. I brought the DMS in and checked it out and I fear it has failed. There are no files on the drive, which I may have help to do.
I've read through the forum and I still don't have a good idea what needs to be done. I purchased a new, in the box, DMS (on Ebay) that hasn't arrived yet. When it arrives it looks like I need to hack it to preserve the future function of the unit.
Basic questions I have are:
Does the 'phathack DMS tools' work to do this? Is there a step by step procedure posted that is easilly followed to accomplish this? Does this procedure prepare a new drive to be used in the phatbox? Does the size of the drive that is hacked make a difference in the size of the new drive you can use?
Thanks in advance for any help offered.
