I confered with my buddy, the search button, but even with his help I still not get any clarification on weather or not you can edit version 4.56A disclaimer text.
Anyone here know?
Also. P.R.E.A.M, what character and movie is your splash screen from? Looks familiar, but cant place the face.

You can extend the amout of charactors per line. Make sure to add "00 20 00 20 00" after the text you entered in each line to close out the english from french. I'm not sure how many charactors per line max you can have but, I have 44 charactors on 1 line.
Hope this helps out some.
I will edit this post to display my edited Disclaimer once I take a pic of that...
Since a few of my buddies and I started a Halo_PC Clan (http://itgclan.com), I got in game using a fly cam and took a pic of myself. Sure wish I could play it on there tho

My Disclaimer... I later edited it and took out the word "communications" since I thought it was too repetitive.

ncinirator - look back a few pages. The ONLY thing that can be done with 4.xx is changing the load BMP. Nothing else at this time. No trip computer, no disclaimer text changing, no OK button removal.

Yeah, thanks. Some posts say it 'should work' on the 4.xx, but I havent seen anyone trying or doing it. I'm not savy enought to try.
Guess it's just a waiting game until one of us with the time, knowledge and equipment can do it.

Editing the disclaimer is easy... you just need to look around in the files to find where the original text resides. The white DVD may be different but the procedure for editing the disclaimer should be the same. 1st place to look for the text should be navi.exe... if it's not in there check the other files. The chances of someone coming out w/ a patch for the disclaimer are slim. It's easy.... just look around and try editing it.
I'd be happy to take a look at the exe if ya want.

Either way.. that's just changing some text - bypassing the OK button is a totally different matter. Still a long way to go.. but it's being worked on.
I was having the same problem, I got to edit the text, but could not rebuild HMImanager. would get an error every time. I just gave up on it and now I can't even change my moddified splash screen. nothing works anymore.

Any advice on how to get it back to just the nag screen?

Hmm... well... were you ever able to edit the text keeping the file the same size? if not... see if spacing thru the french text helps minimize the file size. If you cant quite get it... PM me and I'll see if i can get it to the right size. Then we can see if its a CRC prob for sure.

I just bought an 08 Pilot (to go with our 06 TL) which has the same nav as the 07+ TL's, but lacks a few of its features, namely nav traffic and spoken street names. It would be great if some of this could be enabled via a hack. Seems like spoken street names is totally possible, because when I say "display current location", it does speak the street names in a very clear voice (much clearer than my 06 TL does). So I'm pretty sure Honda just toggled off spoken street names in this model, another one of those "product differentiation" moves to sell more MDX's.
As for nav traffic, enabling that through a simple hack is probably a pipe dream. In that case I bet the XM receiver in my Pilot is lacking something in hardware for that.
My Pilot also lacks hands-free bluetooth but I don't think for a second that the necessary hardware is there for that. I'm going to get an audio shop to install something aftermarket for that feature.

My guess is that any decent hacks will require a mod chip to bypass any file level checks and allow for the OK to be removed and Trip Computers, etc. to be added. Oh well. Its not the end of the world.

Hi Guys,
The NaviOK401a.com - AD's OK button patch for Navi 3.50 link no longer works. I have Ver 3.50 and I'm trying to add the OK button patch. Is there another link I should use?
Thanks

---------------------------------=»> TRIP COMPUTER UPDATE <«----------------------------------
-----------=»> Acura Folk Pls Read, Your Honda Buddys Can Help Ya Out!<«--------------
After validating my Honda 3.70 DVD with another member's Acura 3.70 DVD...
We found out that even though both DVDs are the same version the HMImanager.exe is different and once the Honda 3.70 version is loaded on the Acura GPS the Trip Computer is enabled. Please note that the Color Scheme will also change.
However if you take the Honda 3.70 navi.exe and load it on the Acura GPS your map will NOT draw the streets or graphics.
Looking to get this enabled... PM me or get a hold of a friend that owns a Honda and get him to order the new DVD for his car.
Enjoy

okay, i did the welcome screen mod as well as Angry Dad's trip/ac mod. However, I'm not sure if i did the Ok bypass mod correctly. I followed the instructions, received no error messages and proceeded to load the mod into car. Instead of the Okay button and warning message, i just get a black screen w/ a GO button instead. Is this what the mod is suppose to do? i'm under the assumption the mod would not require any input from user to enter Navigation?

So I went back to the dealer and they fixed it.
The technician said he pressed the Voice Recognition button.
I dunno, I don't understand what that would have done, and neither did the service manager.
But it now starts with the nag screen
Good luck.

You have to go back in this thread to see the problem that I had.
Instead of the NAG screen coming up at startup, a diagnostic screen came up.
Now the NAG screen comes up at startup.

I have an '06 TL (i believe version 3.6) and all I want is to have the trip computer. I don't really want to delete the OK button or change the wallpaper, but I am still so lost. I read every single post since yesterday and I don't even know where to start. It seems as if these instrcutions are not set to have just the trip screen displayed. I don't want to modify anything else except that. And I don't want to screw anything up. Any help please?
