I just did the patch last night; worked perfectly!
Someone mentioned they thought the audio was low after the patch. I seriously doubt the patch had any affect on audio levels. I found the DVD audio level is lower than other sources, but I suspect it was that way before the patch (though I didn't check). It's more likely the way the DVD player was factory-configured to mix 6-channel surround sound into a 5-channel system (without a center channel). To completely rule out the patch having affect on audio levels, someone should compare audio levels before, then after the patch.
Anyway, I'm satisfied. Here are my specs:
North American (US) Outlander GT
Originally-Equipped MMCS (Locked HDD)
Loader: BLD-NR-261UM 1.09
Application: 00.70.04
DVD-in-Motion Patch: 007004

The MMCS .sc file format is attached. To create a Sony ATRAC3+ 128kbps audio stream file you need to download a copy of Sony's Sonic Stage 4.3 (free) from here. To convert a file to the format; import into Sonic Stage and then from the track list view right click and select "Convert File Format"; in the pop-up select ATRAC3Plus, Bit rate 128kbps, and uncheck "Add copy protection"
If you attach the first 80 bytes of an existing .sc file to the data stream of a aa3 file created by Sonic Stage it will play on an MMCS, but you will have to replace an existing tracks file as the audio indexes cannot be altered yet.
Many many hours spent researching and decoding this so far, along with the audio index formats. Hopefully we can use this to create a MP3 synching technique at the least.

Sonic Stage converting files format creates OMA files. Is it right way?
But what to do with that crazy indexing?
I found way to protect HDD from passwording, using MHDD I switched security off, so I have easy access to HDD by 2,5" IDE/USB converter
yes, You should rename, e.g. aa3

Thanks for Your research, I really appreciate it.

1) Convert MP3 to OMA as described in previous posts
2) Edit the OMA file in a hex editor such as HxD
3) Find the hex sequence 4F 00 4D 00 47 00 5F 00 4F 00 4C 00 49 00 4E 00 46 00 (O.M.G._.O.L.I.N.F.)
4) Copy all bytes after this sequence, as this is the audio stream.
5) Copy any existing .SC file you have from the MMCS
6) Open the copied file in HxD
7) Delete all bytes after byte 80, this deletes the original audio stream
8) Paste the copied bytes from step 4 at byte 80 in the copied file, therefore replacing the audio stream with your newly converted one.
9) Save the file.
10) If you copy this newly edited file to your MMCS drive over the top of the original one, when you play on the MMCS you will hear your converted MP3
This process proves the audio can be created, and the SC headers are easy to replicate, but the file indexing is harder. I have posted earlier in this thread my work so far on decoding the index files, but haven't progressed as I have a new baby son to look after.
Could you post the instructions to disable the HDD locking using MHDD.
Cheers

There is no patch for AUX yet, sorry. All what You can do then You can disable GPS signal by grounding or cuting line input eg. with switch

But when trying to play them, it says "Cannot load the rights information for the selected track. The file format may not be supported by SonicStage".
After viewing the files, I saw the header in my sc-files is a little bit different from your format-file. This is a header of my sc-files:
52 49 46 46 00 00 00 00 57 41 56 45 66 6D 74 20 34 00 00 00 FE
FF 02 00 44 AC 00 00 94 3E 00 00 E8 02 00 00 22 00 00 08 03 00
00 00 BF AA 23 E9 58 CB 71 44 A1 19 FF FA 01 E4 CE 62 01 00 28
5C 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 64 61 74 61 00 00 00 00 3A 60 00 00
00 01 40 01 80 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01
Any ideas?
