After about 10 coasters I found the problem- navi didn't want to read CDs burned with Nero Burning Rom 7. When I switched to a first free burning software I stumbled upon everything worked. The software was Final Burner.
Anyway, if someone needs a ready to burn ISO image for v3.41, which is US-spec 2005 TL, PM me. Image includes trip computer, trip computer data logging, "OK" button removal and this start up image

Just keep watching the forums... right now they only figured out changing the background. No dice on everything else yet.

You can buy it from them.
Or were you looking to steal it?

You end up with a pic xxx by xxx in pixel size and a file xxx,xxx in bytes. You'll have to search the thread to find the details.

^^ sorry, I was accosted for Homework help and couldn't look it up. Now that the crisis in American History has passed....
The Picture size must be 480 x 234 EXACTLY.
The Picture File must be 113,398 bytes EXACTLY (Check "properties" for the file)
If this is wrong, you get a blank screen.
To trouble shoot you can use one of the images that datmrman shows in Post #3 or Post #25 on page 1 of this thread: https://acurazine.com/forums/ramblings-12/i-have-video-camera-college-campus-my-disposal-129948/. I know these are the right size, because I've used a few of them.
If it works, then you have a problem with your image. If it doesn't then you haven't done the instructions EXACTLY right.
EDIT - Oh. You got it. Good job!!

^^ Just a CD and the instructions for an '07 in this thread.
For an '07, check post #437. Also, as reference #250 and #475.
You can use a regular CD-R.

I'm getting tired of waiting for the 'OK' Button hack for the 2007 4.56 Navi. Does anyone know or has tried if this hardware module will work?
www.kptechnologies.com
Navigation 'OK' bypass....NB20-P
It states that it automatically presses the button for you when you start the car.
It costs 50 bucks and you get free shipping on 2 modules, so I was thinking of buying this and the window roll up.

I want to look inside the .bin files too see what files are compressed in it. I tried winrar and tried loading it with DaemonTools but neither will work. Does anyone know a program that will allow me to do that? Thanks.

Modified Navi - Canada
I would like to know if anyone in Canada has successfully modified their 07-TL-S splash screen using the mods from this forum (as they relate to the 07 model) . Extracting Opening1.bmp, from the 07Touch2.bin brings up a graphic unlike anything that comes up on my Navi screen - it shows a graphic with Acura Link referenced on it. Since we don't have Acura Link up here - according To Acura Canada, that isn't the graphic they use and it isn't the one that pops up on the splash screen. If a search is done I can find a .bmp file called OpeningBase.bmp. This appears to be the background image of the splash screen but there are 2 additional files that play a role, one of them is Acura32_27.bmp or Acura_Emblem.bmp and the other is Navi_Title.bmp. All 3 appear to be combined to produce the splash screen on the Canadian models. I did not look in the 07Touch.bin file only the 07Touch2.bin. If you have a Canadian 07 TL that you have successfully replaced the splash screen on, could you let me know how you did it. The directions from the forum (the 07 section don't seem to work for me).
Thanks
Thanks

"Please Check Disc Error" Fix (3.50/Orange)
If your getting this and you know you did everything right, it's your burner software. So far, looks like Nero, Windows Media Player and the indigenous Vista burning software are all culprits.
I downloaded 'Final Burner' from download.com for free like gt1 suggested. Worked 4.0!
BTW, if your BIN files load correctly you'll get a green dailogue box across the top of the screen with a series of about 15 open white boxes that slowly fill as it loads the new files.

1. The only file you are interested in is called 07Touch2.bin
2. Type: Bysin 07Touch2.bin extract OpeningBase.bmp (you will see extracting OpeningBase.bmp - let it finish)
3. Type: Bysin 07Touch2.bin extract Acura_emblem.bmp (you will see extracting Acura_emblem.bmp - let it finish)
4. Type: Bysin 07Touch2.bin extract Navi_Title.bmp (you will see extracting Navi_Title.bmp - let it finish) The 07Touch2.bin file you just extracted the 3 files from is the one you want to use so remember where it is.
In case you are wondering, the above 3 files are all used to display the splash screen on the Canadian 07 TL.
5. You need to down-load a screen you like from here: https://acurazine.com/forums/ramblings-12/hurricane-isabel-113806/#post1370271
6. I am not good with PhotoShop so it took me a very long time to get a background I liked and was the correct size. The original picture turned out to be a 24 bit image. It is 224,712 bytes 225,280 bytes on disk. 480 pixels X 234 pixels with 72 pixel resolution. The image size is 6.667" X 3.25"
7. If you are over 224,712 bytes (225,280 bytes on disk), the splash screen will not load. I was under by 16 bytes and it failed.
8. Here is the background I used, if someone can add it to the images in this form that would help but note it only works on the Canadian 07 TL. http://solutions2000.ca/images/ (the file name is OpeningBase.bmp)
9. Once you have your splash screen the way you want it; make sure it is in the same directory that your 07Touch2.bin file is in.
Do the following:
10. Bysin 07Touch2.bin update OpeningBase.bmp ((you will see updating OpeningBase.bmp - let it finish) If you update the Acura-emblem.bmp and the Navi_Title.bmp files beware that they are not surrounded by a transparent background so unless your splash screen has a lot of black in the centre both will show up surrounded by black. I did not add either back into the 07Touch2.bin and the files load and work fine without either file.
11. Copy these 6 files to a CD - (they are from your original version 4.55 Canadian Navi disk) you DON'T need to use a DVD. I used a CD-RW and it worked fine.
Here are the 6 file names:
A0000_00.MNG
PRG_INFO.MNG
UPDATE_APL.exe
DCA0.REG
07Touch2.bin - replace this file with the one you modified!
07Touch.bin
12. Go out to your car and turn the key on and go to the trunk and open the DVD door, it flips up.
13. Press the eject button and wait for your original DVD to pop out - place it in a safe place where you won't scratch it.
14. Place your newly burned CD into the DVD drive. It will load into the drive.
15. Go back to the drivers seat - you should see an error message saying: DVD Disc reading error (incorrect DVD Disc) please consult your dealer. (You might see Vehicle is out of the database coverage area).
16. Press and HOLD the following 3 keys: MAP+MENU+CANCEL - hold it until a new screen pops up -- this is the Select Diagnostics items.
17. Press the on-screen button that says "Version" - bottom right corner.
18. The next screen will show a button that says "DownLoad". Press it.
19 After a short wait you will see: Please wait. Downloading software.
20. After a brief wait - under a minute usually - the next screen will say Please do not shut off engine.
21. You will see a progress bar advance - slowly - very, very slowly. Prepare to wait at least 3 minutes.
22. Once the files are loaded you will see your splash screen pop up on the display. If you don't see your splash screen, then something went wrong in the file size.
23. You will then see an error message saying the wrong disk is inserted.
24. Eject the CD and insert your original Navi DVD.
25. Once your DVD is fully loaded into the drive, go back to the car, turn the key off wait a few seconds and turn the key back on. You should see your splash screen and after a normal wait time you will see the OK button.
Sorry, I don't yet know how to get rid of the Canadian 07 TL OK button, but I am working on it.
Once more thing - while all this worked perfectly for me, use at your own risk, if you really mess up, disconnect the battery for 30 seconds and start over with your original DVD.
If the admin wishes to move this to an area where it is easier to find for those Canadian users who wishe to modify their splash screen, that would be great, and if someone knows how to post the OpeningBase.bmp file here that would help as well. Then I can delete it from the web site.

You can use something like imageshack to host pictures and please add it to this thread: Navi Hack BMP's (Images).
Good luck with the nag hack.
