Angrydad did all of the hard work for us. You don't need a decompiler. You only need a hex editor. There are plenty of free ones out there.
Look in this area of the file 0x00449568.
You'll see the text of the disclaimer screen in english and french. Change some of the french text to "00". Do this until the file is small enough.

I'm also just curious WHY I have to do this, I thought everything AD did was in 3.50 so why would my Navi file be to big.

nope. just loaded it on and still no trip computer. It said updating HMIManager.exe then went to the next command prompt. Just loaded it on, and still not there.
The HMIManager from the 120 file was too big, so I tried to take it from the 12c.bin and it took, but it's not showing up.......what gives? Order, should i do back.bmp, navi.exe then HMIManager.exe? I've gone through 4 CD's this morning, I dont want to do it again for the same result!

how would that help for the trip computer though? I thought that's what the HMIManager was for.
I'm so confused right now. I guess I can live without the TC. I got 22MPG out of my last tank with about 95% city driving, so I'm pretty happy. I'll do it again when I have more time. I'm acutally getting ready to go to class in about an hour and I got some stuff to read up on....gotta love procrastination!

Gosh, I give up. I got the hacks to work but I can't seem to get rid of the 2-4 second lag before the splash screen comes up. I've tried everything and have wasted like 6 CD's. I started fresh with original BIN files from the navigation and updated the BIN file accordingly. I even restarted my car navigation system and radio a few times too.
Anyone?
Anyone?

I got mine working much earlier but then ran into issues as I tried to customize the nag text. It wasn't until I realized kenny wasn't kidding, removing the AD from the file puts the navi into a reboot loop.
I guess it is a small price to pay.

What is it going to take to get a step by step for this hack?
I would really love to have the splash image just like what is shown in post #160 of this thread, along with keeping the trip computer hack enabled and of course the defeated OK button?

I have to say I was going to install this hack and give AD something for his time. Now that I can't change my screen and would have to look at "AD" at the bottom all the time, I think I can safely say I won't be installing it. This in itself is a shame as AD has put a LOT of personal (I hope) time into this and it is a great 'upgrade'. I do not want to belittle AD's efforts as I am also in I.T. and understand being belittled for all my efforts to keep everything running. It's only when something breaks or people want things that I usually have opportunity to chat with co-workers.
Having said that...
AD, would you consider a second version without all the proprietary additions for contributors? I understand you wanting to tag your work, who doesn't but I am honestly very disappointed.

Bonus tip
kenny, the faq keeper, add this to your list:
When you do the trip computer patch, you might as well benefit from replacing diag.exe from the 401a bin with diag.exe from the 404a bin. It enables trip computer screen in diag menu (where you can log data to the card if interested). Holding "Menu" for 5 sec on that screen, gets you to "Trip Computer calibration" menu.

A little confused!
I am confused now. I have a 06 TL. Is there a OK patch for the orange disc or not? Do I download http://www.vistabug.com/bm12/ngf?f=4 (NaviOK401a.com)
and just run that after extracting the navi.exe, then put the navi.exe back in? Help!
I visted http://www.vistabug.com/navi/ and it said "Happy owners of other vehicles that use the orange DVD v3.50 will have to wait a little more. I will release patches for all images on the orange disk later."

1. Crack the AD signature (which is not very hard, but challenging)
2. Ask me privately to personalize the screen for you.

The size of the updated file must be less-then or equal to the size of the old file.
This feature might be introduced in a newer version.
Updated file (COMPRESSED): 3028352 bytes Old file (COMPRESSED): 3028315 bytes
How to get around this? BTW the HMIManager and my PIC are already packed in there.

I just downloaded the one from the site. I guess it is the correct one. However, when I try to repack it, I am getting the following:
c:\AcuraTL\navi>dumpnavi BNHH401A.bin update navi.exe
Updating navi.exe ...
The size of the updated file must be less-then or equal to the size of the old file.

EDIT: I also tried a clean BNHH401A.bin file and it still would not work. I would get the same message as above. This is without any pics or HMIManger mods.

easiest way is to use this one...
http://www.savefile.com/files/127152
download the zip file (password:kennyc), and extract the navi.exe
use this navi.exe in your bin.

Ok guys. Too many posts in here to figure out HOW the correct way is to do this. Can someone please make a page on detailed info on how to do this properly?

That's AngryDad's "signature"

I did look at it, though, and the "AD" and link is buried in some other text (French) that isn't displayed. It's certainly beyond my skills to edit it out.

AngryDad,
Not to sound unappreciative of your efforts, but I'd prefer to keep my custom text as it's written and deal with the OK button than have to look at your signature. Very resourceful of you to create it that way.
After attempting to remove the AD via a hexeditior (about the extent of my technical expertise), I realized you hardcoded it into the script that calls the OK menu, and thus "breaking" the program.
Although I planned to contribute to your efforts, I would prefer to use a fully customized "badge/signature free" version.
If you'll produce a signature free version, I'll gladly throw some bucks at your beer fund... otherwise, I'll keep hitting the button.

I don't like it... and won't use the patch. I'd gladly pay for the patch to be "signature free" though.
