I finally opened navi.exe in a disassembler. YIKES!!! Hopefully Bysin or someone else will release a NO NAG patch.

I also can't find any hacks on a 06 TL Navi.

This is from my 06:

Also, would we lose the original Picture of the Acura TL? I mean, once we change it to whatever picture we want, can we still load the original picture later on from the original Acura Navi DVD?

Sorry to ask so many questions, I am just being as careful as possible. I do not want to void any warranties.

Use at your own risk.

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


8. Use the dumpnavi tool to select your car's bootloader
from step #4.

9. Select the Bitmap you wish to use as your background.

10. Hit the "Modify" button.

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,
but DONT close the front plate!

16. Hit the "Load Disc" button on the Version screen,
then run back and close the front plate on the
DVD drive.

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 30-60 seconds with the origional DVD
in the car. The old OS will load back on the
system.

BTW, I tried burning it to a CDRW disc and not a regular CDR or DVDR disc. It should not matter, should it? Am I modifying the right file?

BTW, in the hack there is an option to modify the nag screen, and I took the check off.

It is strange. Any help is appreciated.


BTW, these are the .bin files that I copied from NAVI DVDROM:
Bytes / Filename

13,624,287 / BN2HH110.bin
13,693,411 / BN2HH120.bin
79,343 / BN2HHMLD.BIN
13,614,871 / BN2HN12B.bin
13,656,235 / BN2HN18B.bin
13,703,039 / BN2HN380.bin
13,661,551 / BNHH401A.bin
13,657,071 / BNHN404A.bin
13,662,959 / BN2HH12C.bin

And after modification:
Bytes / Filename

13,624,287 / BN2HH110.bin
13,693,411 / BN2HH120.bin
79,343 / BN2HHMLD.BIN
13,614,871 / BN2HN12B.bin
13,656,235 / BN2HN18B.bin
13,703,039 / BN2HN380.bin
13,661,551 / BNHH401A.bin
13,657,071 / BNHN404A.bin
245,760 / dumpnavi.exe <- gui version
113,398 / pic2.bmp <- my pic, which is 480x234 using Adobe Photoshop 6
13,662,959 / BN2HH12C.bin <- hmm seems as though filesize is same before and
after modification

^^ i burned these to a CDRW disc (excluding the pic2.bmp, dumpnavi.exe)
