Just to be clear, are the navi.exe and HMIManager.exe files already modified?
Where in the process would I start?

How to use the files
Does this work on a 2009 TSX Nav system?
Has anybody try this on this car?
Also, I downloaded the three zip folders (navi-console.zip, navi-console-src.zip, navi-gui.zip). How do I use this folders or which file do I install to run the program?
Sorry but don’t know too much about computers.

I tried the dumpnavi with the console interface, burned a disk. Per the instructions I removed the original disk and replaced with the modified one I had, with a different .bmp and nag screen killed. When the original disk was removed I lost the function to read the newly created disk. The menu went away, went to black, then brought up the original screen and instead of booting the nav said I had an incorrect disc.

I attempted to use the dumpnavi after upgrading to a 2011 V4.92 White Disc. Unfortunately, it seems as if some of the screens are no longer the same as they were back when bysin originally put everything together. Step 3 of holding the Menu button down for 5 seconds at the Version screen no longer brings up a "Load" prompt. It instead takes you to a developer menu with 3 pages worth of information in it (none of it applicable to file name being loaded as is needed for step 4 of the process). So, unless there is a different way to now get this filename type, it doesn't seem there is a way to modify a system after it's been updated to at least the 2011 disk (was previous running 2006 V4.56A White Disc but didn't try using dumpnavi at that point).
Any suggestions on getting the load file name on a 2011 upgrade system would be greatly appreciated.

I managed to download the 3.40c package that was kindly uploaded by CLSDAVE. Unfortunately that download link is no longer valid, so I have posted it on my own website for those still looking for it. I did not create the file, and have not even tried it yet, but you are welcome to download it then follow the instructions in the thread link I reference on the download web page.

For those that still want to do the Navi hack on the newer disc, check out this post https://acurazine.com/forums/showpos...postcount=1249.
If you're working with the v4.92 disc, the only difference is that you'll be working with a different file. Instead of 06Touch2.bin you'll be using 09Touch2.bin. The image file that you'll update wont be Opening3.bmp it's OpeningBase.bmp

I've developed a program to modify the navigation system in Acura/Hondas.
The actual navigation system is in Windows CE running a SH-4 processor, similar to a Sega Dreamcast (if not identical). I just bought my TSX about 2 days ago, but luckily I had a lot of experience hacking the Dreamcast so it didnt take me very long to hack the navigation system.
Here is the link to the program including there Visual C++ source code:
http://www.linuxkiddies.com/bysin/navi.zip
This is the ReadMe contained in the zip, it includes step by step instructions on how to use the program:
DumpNAVI by bysin
-----------------
This program is used to list, extract, and modify files contained in an XIP BIN file located on Acura/Honda navigation DVD. This system has been tested on the TSX. Use at your own risk.
Some of the things I have been able to modify are:
- Changed the background picture to my own personal image.
- Removed the "nag screen" at the beginning screen.
- Change some of the words that pop up.
Here are some step-by-step instructions on how to modify files in your navigation system. It requires a DVD-ROM drive and a CD or DVD burner.
1. At the main screen of the navigation system, hold down the Map/Guide, Menu, and Cancel buttons for 5 seconds.
2. Hit the "Version" button on the touch screen.
3. Hold down the Menu button for 5 seconds.
4. Write down the filename next to the words "Loading Filename" (ex. BNHN404A.BIN).
5. Open your trunk and find the DVD player attached to the navigation system.
6. Push down the front plate and eject the Navigation DVD-ROM.
7. Place the DVD in your computer and copy all 9 BIN files onto your hard drive (should be around 104 MB), this includes:
BN2HH12C.BIN
BN2HH110.BIN
BN2HH120.BIN
BN2HHMLD.BIN
BN2HN12B.BIN
BN2HN18B.BIN
BN2HN380.BIN
BNHH401A.BIN
BNHN404A.BIN
8. Use the dumpnavi tool to extract the files on the BIN file that was on your car, ex:
dumpnavi BNHN404A.BIN extract
9. The files will extract to the directory associated with the name of the file.
10. After modifying the files, use the dumpnavi tool to update them to the BIN, ex:
dumpnavi BNHN404A.BIN update Back.bmp
dumpnavi BNHN404A.BIN update navi.exe navi-nonag.exe
dumpnavi BNHN404A.BIN update Diag.exe
11. Copy the modified BIN file, including all other BIN files (9 in total) to a blank CD or DVD.
12. Insert the origional navigation DVD back into the DVD-ROM in your car.
13. Start the car normally, and at the main navigation screen hold Map/Guide, Menu, and Cancel for 5 seconds once again.
14. Hit the "Version" button on the touch screen once again.
15. Take the origional navigation DVD out of the car, and replace it with the CD/DVD you just created.
16. Hit the "Load Disc" button on the Version screen.
17. It should take about 20 seconds for your car to load the new BIN and reboot. Once that happens, take out your burned CD/DVD and put back the origional navigation DVD.
18. If anything goes wrong, remove the ground to the battery for 30 seconds with the origional DVD in the car. The old OS will load back on the system.

Has anyone got info on removing that screen from the 2nd gen TSX? Its annoying when I want to get in, plug an address in and be on my way. The 6 seconds is a bit excessive.
Any ideas?

6 seconds, man. My '05 has to be double or triple that. I'm out of the parking lot by the time the OK button pops up.
