The Novero HT-5 Hack looks Very cool and being that we have one installed in our 2013 North American Region only NMS Passat, I was hoping you could help me... I live in the United States,where it was never sold, which makes the SOS function not work properly as it calls the Euro emergency services number instead of American 911... the whole Micro-USB root task looks easy... but the whole serial port install tear-down not so much... just wondering if there is any way to access changing this number or turning on some of the boxes other features (TMC,parking,etc...)
perhaps there is some way to reconfigure the Micro-USB port to act as the PC- to-ht-5 dongle while leaving the ht-5 module plugged into the car?
the thing that scared me though was python... the most complicated programmer I have ever Used is VCDS... which I am pretty sure means this may be going into uncharted waters as far as my programing experience goes(or lack thereof) any way to make this thing work is a great improvement but no matter the crash course, the 911 thing i really need to change!
thanks to anyone who can help!

Hello Felix,

could you please add some more info on the howto access the console. I'm using a HT-4. But don't get any response either from U-Boot or kernel.

• What are the connection settings 115200,8n1?
• Where to find the test points?

Thanks so far.
