Also as I mentioned previously you can still customize the second to last line. AD clears that by placing a hex 00 as the first character, but he doesn't check that section of the text so you can change it if you like.

One thing to note though is the actual offset in the file isn't the hex value that is displayed in the disassembler. If you want to jump to a file offset goto Jump -> Jump To File Offset....

Make sure your BIN files and the dumpnavi program are in the same folder.
If that doesn't work, reread the first post carefully and try it again. Let us know the exact error message you are getting if you still encounter problems.

Also, be sure you are using the exact file names, as it is case-sensitive.

For the millionth time...
It doesn't void your warranty bc you can simply reload the original files from your nav disc. No permanent changes are being made. There are many entries here on how to reload orignial files if you mess up.

Success!
This is great stuff. I did the splash screen last month but just tried the OK button and the Trip computer. With a little trial and error it works great. Like someone said earlier, it's all there just read carefully. Thanks Bysin, Kennyc, and Angry Dad.
Tip:
Which dumpnavi to use was confusing. For the Ok Button/Trip Computer I used Dumpnavi - Console. For my 3.5 disk I had to use the 3.40c executable.

easiest way to do it with CEBin if you don't have 3.4 or 3.5:
put CEBin, the bin file to patch, and the three files you want replaced (back.bmp, navi.exe, hmimanager.exe).
make a text file with the following (replace BN2HH12C if needed, this is for 3.30 fversion)
image BN2HH12C.BIN
replaceFile navi.exe C:\navihack\navi.exe
replaceFile Back.bmp C:\navihack\Back.bmp
replaceFile HMIManager.exe C:\navihack\HMIManager.exe
you have to replace the filenames (C:\ whatever) with your own. Then run CEBin from the command prompt:
cebin yourfile.txt -s tempfile.bin
then rename this file to the original image name, put it with the loader on a disc, and burn away as detailed in the other posts.

found this out by:
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).
followed the steps above using the correct file name an VIOLA! worked like a charm!

I just got the 3.60 disc and tried to manually apply the OK button patch and the values don't match up at all to the addresses listed in the crk file. So I guess the 3.60 navi.exe is much different than the previous ones. I guess I'll be abandoning this project for good now.

Yea I got my disk too... Oh well, I need the updates, guess I just sell my 3.50 disk and either spend more time to fix 3.60 or wait for someone else...

So, let me get this straight -
I just received the 3.60 disc from Acura / Alpine. I checked what image was being loaded at bootup, and saw that BN2HH12C.BIN is the loaded image.
I want to get the Trip Computer functionality for my Version 3.60 system. Getting rid of the "OK" confirmation would be nice, but not necessary.
If I replace the Version 3.60 HMIManager.exe in BN2HH12C.BIN with kennyc's Version 3.40c HMIManager.exe (found on the first post of this thread), will everything work OK? What functionality will I lose, if anything?

it been 5 mins already.what am i suppose to do..it didnt prompt me saying it done..am i suppose to burn it to a blank CD or what?any body got picture of step by step because i think im lost already tryin the 1st mod...
i try kenny navi file ..It say ACCESS DENIED <<i think i spell it wrong..anybody can help me?
^^^
usually it takes about 24 hours to see the prompt.
I am not sure why it didn't prompt. I was prompted when I made the first CD, but not the second CD I made though. I just checked the "Date Modified" in Windows Explorer for that file to see if the date/time has passed and is newer than its previous date/time.
yes, you need to burn a CD with two files (BN2HHMLD.BIN and updated BNHH401A.BIN).
use the password provided in the very first post for kennyc's files.
it doesn't matter since you are making changes to the copy on your hard drive. the files on the original DVD are read only.

as pointed out before, I think you just need to reload the original navi disk to return to stock.

ViNhXoNxAcuraTL, you need to be running dumpnavi.exe, not navi.exe! Whoops!
BTW, I've tested using kennyc's 3.40c HMIManager.exe with 3.60, and it works sweet!

Anyone have a copy of ADs TLPatch401a.com? I have 3.5 and since we really don't know if there's any functionality difference between 3.4 and 3.5, I'd prefer to work on my 3.5 files. Looks like the original link is dead.

FYI-
For anyone trying these on the version 4.55 disc, the background file is Opening1.bmp inside of the 07Touch2.bin file for the TL with touch screen, or in the 07Jog2.bin file for the MDX/RDX with jog wheel. I haven't figured out the OK Button hack yet.....
thank to all you TL folks and TSX foks too for that matter for laying the ground work for all these hacks. I wouldn't have known where to start on the RDX nav without all this great stuff.

I have never dealt with macs. Is there a way to run Windows x86 executable on mac?
The problem is that CEBin (as well as bysin's tools) uses a some library from WinCE for compress/uncopress data.
I think it theoretically can be done on mac with Intel processors but I am definitely not going to do it.
