Step by step how to unlock the VDOdayton MS2000
1, Make a folder on your desktop, call it what ever you want example VDO MS2000.
2, In this folder make another two folders that you call "ResidentFlash" and "backup"
\VDO MS2000\ResidentFlash
\VDO MS2000\backup
3, In the ResidentFlash folder make one map call "SYSTEM" and one called "BananaPC"
\VDO MS2000\ResidentFlash\SYSTEM
\VDO MS2000\ResidentFlash\BananaPC

5, Download BananaPC 3464
[color="#00FF00"]6, Start CabWUZ and extract BananaPPC.arm.CAB. Remember where you extract it.[/color]
7, Take the extracted file called BananaPC.exe (+aygshell.dll) and put it in the folder BananaPC map that you made in step 3
\VDO MS2000\ResidentFlash\BananaPC
8, Download 3465 and unzip to your PC.
9, In the root of the unzipped "customioE.zip" you will find a file called GSFinder.exe rename the file to MP3.exe and put it in your SYSTEM folder that you made in step 3.
\VDO MS2000\ResidentFlash\SYSTEM\MP3.exe
10, Connect your GPS with MSactivesync open the SYSTEM folder \ResidentFlash\SYSTEM and copy this MP3.exe to the backup map that you made in step 2.
\VDO MS2000\backup
11, Now copy the renamed MP3.exe (GSFinder.exe) that you made in step5 to the SYSTEM folder.
12, Copy also the BananaPC folder with the file BananaPC.exe to the ResidentFlash folder
\ResidentFlash\BananaPC\BananaPC.exe
13, Pull out the USB cable and do reset and restart on the GPS unit.
14, When the main menu comes up with the 3 buttons. Click on the MP3 player and a explorer lookalike starts (gsexplorer).
15, Go to the the BananaPC.exe and execute.
16, With this program (BananaPC) you are able to to close navigation.exe (the main window that starts when the gps unit starts up) that lock the GPS recieve on com 2. So it gets free used to other application like ex. TomTom navigator.
But remember all things that you put outside the ResidentFlash map and of course the sd-memory disappears when you do a reset in the bottom of the unit. The hole windows map include the map my documents rewrites from the e-prom. So if you do something wrong (Be careful with the ResidentFlash\Navigator & ResidentFlash\SYSTEM map) the only thing you have to do, is reset the unit again.
GOOD LUCK
