Hello everyone, please bear with me as I am new to this site. I have a phatnoise box connected to my concert2 headunit in an Audi a3. It was working fine until I had to take it out of the boot for a period of time. When I came to connect it back again, the headunit couldnt find it. I connect the DMS cartridge to my computer and the software doesnt even find the list of Audi headunits so I can reprogram it. I gave the car to Audi dealer in Bolton only to find out they know nothing about phatnoise?? Please give any advise possible as I am losing the will to live with this thing at the moment and am close to swopping the stereo to an MP3 player. I live close to Manchester/Bolton so if anyone is close by and can help, please let me know. many thanks. Phil
Download the Phathack tools (http://forum.phathack.com/index.php/topic,1641.0.html (http://forum.phathack.com/index.php/topic,1641.0.html)) and use the software to repair the DMS. Start by just trying to repair the phtsys partition, if that doesn't work do a full repair.
The program is fairly self-explanatory, but if you read the documentation, you should have no problem.
Thanks for the reply, can I ask, if I do a repair on the DMS, will it erase all the music on the cartridge?
If you do a Repair (PHTSYS), the music will remain untouched. If you do a Repair (FULL), you will lose everything.
