PhatBox Hacking / Re: PhatHack DMS Tools v2.15 - January 2012

« Last post by VorTechS on January 15, 2019, 10:14:30 am »

If there's nothing listed in the drop down, then there's a problem with the communication to the server to get the list.  As you'll note from some of the replies above, try it again and it should work.

I may have to do a one-off special version which bundles everything in one package to avoid this issue in the future!

Let me know if it's still not working.

I am trying to build a new DMS as the old hard drive was failing and noticed that there is no longer firmware listed in the drop down menu.

Buying and Selling / FS 20G DMS and USB 2.0 cradle

There isn't a lot of activity on this forum. I've run across my old DMS and Cradle. If there is a market for them I'll figure out what makes sense for a price. It'd be nice to see them used somewhere. Email me directly or respond to this message.

I'm digging around here as I've aquired a Phatbox VAE-012PBOX and cable, with no DMS. just purchased a DMS from eBay and waiting for that to arrive, although don't have a cradle. (Looks like you can get away with a USB adapter - he said hopefully). Anyway I downloaded a copy of PhatNoise MM that should hopefully get me sorted. Just need to find out how I set the DMS up - or even configure a larger new 160Gb disk to work in the Phatbox.
If you still need PhatNoise MM, let me know and I'll ping it to you - it seems to work OK with Windows 10. Or if you managed to get everything working I'd like to pick your brains.
Cheers

Hi, I have downloaded 2.15 today as my phatnoise box has stopped working and I need to reflash it.


However the pulldown menu for the firmware is not working again. Can you correct it please?

Phatnoise Hardware Support / Re: problem with installing phatbox in skoda superb

« Last post by VorTechS on June 18, 2018, 01:18:28 pm »

I have no idea on the pinouts unfortunately, but out of interest what does your PhatBox look like? (particularly the connectors)

The only reason I ask, is for this reason:

...which of course is from China, so who knows how it will fair!

Phatnoise Hardware Support / problem with installing phatbox in skoda superb

« Last post by MilanM on June 14, 2018, 07:00:42 am »

Can someone help me?

Im, well me and my car electrician are stucked with installing phatbox phatnoise in my Skoda Superb mk1.

As you already know(people who have phbox) it comes with cable with female 13din on one end.

Therefore I tought I need 5m long cable with 8pin mini iso on one end( wich goes to navi) and on other 13din male connector, so I ordered frome DIETZ blaupunkt cable and woila, it came to me, we installed and BOOM!

There goes fuse on navi. So my electrician noticed it actually has just 8 din, we called shop they checked and they said it is ok, it should work. 25euros went to toilet.

So yesterday, I bought second hand blaupunkt cable from scrapyard(it was from alfa 159) wich actually has 13din and 8pins.

I tought this must be it, we wired fast and KBOOM-NOTHING!20euros went to toilet, again!

Phatbox doesnt react, fuse on navi same, Cd option on navigation is grey, cant choose it, and we are stucked.

I have found pin out of my Superb navi(wich is actually blaupunkt product), and it is same as alfa romeo navi(same blaupunkt) -8pin mini iso pin out positions.

Does anyone have a clue what to do, and what are we doing wrong?! Im realy close to loose my mind..:crying:
