VIOT2

Purchasing VIOT for non Kenwood boxes.

This workaround if for people who have purchased non Music Keg boxes, converted them to Kegs by changing the firmware and wish to use the VIOT plugin with them. VIOT will normally only install on genuine Kegs, and not on other models converted to Kegs.

You must purchase a VIOT installation key from Phatnoise first.
Then:

1. Back up box_id_log.txt and box_id.mru.txt files found on your DMS in PHTSYS:\.
2. Edit the original box_id_log.txt and box_id.mru.txt files changing the line "Lot Code: 0x3102" to "Lot Code: 0x2201".
3. Install the plugin normally.
4. After the installation is complete replace the edited .txt files with the backups.

Your lot code may differ than the one above (Audi), but the replacement you put in should be 2201 - the Kenwood code.

This procedure worked on my Audi box after I converted it to a Kenwood Music Keg KHD-C710. I obtained the 2201 code from my genuine KHD-C710. I don't know if this code will work for boxes set up as a KHD-CX910. If someone can confirm that it does work, please update this page.

Warning!!
Do to the fact that it was only tested on one box and that some of the installation code is executed from Phatnoise's site and can be changed by them at any time, you use this workaround at your own risk. You may end up purchasing the plugin and be unable to install it.
