Hey Guys

Many people are still leaving posts about this subject, many people seem to be saying this is not possible...Well.....it is...Follow these steps to install Tom Tom, speed cameras and Postcode support on your Medion 175

Before i start please be aware that i will not supply the Tom Tom software to anyone....This is the only tricky part and you need to get hold of it yourself...More info below

First make sure you have the medion system set up as it's meant to be...e.g reboot it and let the software that came with the device install.

As far as i know if you install the Maps for the default software you wont have enough room for the tom tom stuff so at this time leave it off.

Ok now we need to show Windows CE and give access to the start menu and desktop. Follow these steps:

1. Download the additional files required here:

2. Connect the sat nav to your PC via ActiveSync and click 'explore'

3. Copy 'regedit.exe' from the .zip file and paste into \Windows\StartUp.

4. Copy 'modified.reg' into the 'Medion' folder on the device

5. Soft Reset your device using the stylus (unscrew the end of the stylus to reveal the reset pin!)

6. When the device reboots it will automatically launch Regedit. Click 'File | Import' and then locate the 'Medion' folder in the files and folders selection list and double click to open. You will see the 'modified.reg' file we copied in Step 4, double-click to import

7. Locate regedit.exe in \Windows\StartUp. Cut this file and paste into \Windows\Programs .Copy 'showtaskbar.exe' from the .zip file and paste into \Windows\StartUp

8. Locate Setting.exe in the 'Medion' folder, right-click and select 'Create Shortcut'. Copy the 'Shortcut to Setting.exe' file that is created as a result and paste into \Windows\Desktop. Repeat this process for 'MNAVDECE.exe' also located in the 'Medion' folder and 'MP3Player.exe' located in \Windows

9. Finally, reset your device once more with the stylus and it will boot to the WinCE desktop with shortcuts to the three applications you had before. If you hold your stylus at the bottom left of the screen on the thin grey bar the WinCE taskbar will appear and you will gain access to the standard WinCE apps.

Ok now your device is hacked and displays Windows CE...Now you need to install Tom Tom

The version you need has a setup.exe file (Not start.exe) Look around on ebay etc...ask them if they have that version.

If you have that now then follow these steps:

1. Have your Sat nav conencted and double click on Setup in your tom tom folder

This will install tom tom on your sat nav

2. Make a TomTom folder on the root of your sat nav, and in that folder create another TomTom folder...In there place your voice files

3. Now copy your map folder from the TomTom install cd/pack your using on to the root of the memory card

4. If you have a ZIP folder with your setup files then copy this to your root of the memory card also...this will install Postcode support

5. So go to start on the device, programs and find tomtom

This will start the program and you will go through many options (You should be able to do this yourself)

When you need to setup the type of GPS device you have then have wired GPS or other. Please note the GPS status bar does not work....There is a way of getting this working but i have never found out how.

If you also want to install POI on the device just copy this into your map directory on the memory card.

Any problems please contact me

Hope this helps!! Smile
