How to convert a .dbk file to a vCard .vcf file

How to convert a .dbk file to a vCard .vcf file

Recently I obtained a new cellphone and had a major issue trying to export my existing contacts to the new phone. I was left with a .dbk file which apparently is not very common and a rather strange file type. I just wanted to convert it to a .csv or a vCard file so I could import it where I needed the contact list to go. Since it took me a while to figure out how to do this, with much internet searching and false leads, I decided to write up the process I used to succesfully convert the file to a .vcf file:

  1. Rename the .dbk file to a .zip file
    1. for example, I had a test.dbk file, which I renamed to test.zip
  2. unzip the zip file
  3. within the unzipped folder, you will likely find several files, one of which will be a contacts.vcf

OBD2a to OBD1 Honda Accord Automatic Conversion

OBD2a to OBD1 Honda Accord Automatic Conversion

As many of you may know, I host a mirror of the old PGMFI wiki from PGMFI.org. In a new How-To series on MyComputerNinja, I will be highlighting some of the tutorials that might make for interesting reading for some of you, and for others may end up being a lifesaver. For those of you who have automatic OBD2a Honda Accords, you may find this tutorial interesting. It details the conversion of the Accord from obd2a back to OBD1 in order to use Crome. It includes the wiring conversion involved, as well as what ecu and binary to use to make it all work.
