thank you guys, I need to get out to the meets and see what you guys have done to your cars and go from there. for now the only thing I would like to attempt is hack the navi. if anyone can assist me with that it would be great.

Welcome to the gang man, congrats on the purchase. As for nav disk, I am not sure if the newer can be modded. For $150, I would pass. I got the 2011 update for $99 and there isn't much difference appearance wise. Feel free to ask about anything, we have some pretty handy guys on here.

I dont think anyone of the current Houston members have attempted to do it.

I'm pretty good at computers but i have an old nav disk that wont be able to do it.


if you're good at computers, you can do it no problem.

I used to have the navi hack but since I upgraded to newer version it no longer works for me

If I'm not mistaken another member Jason "Redaggie" has the navi hack

If any of you 3G owners are looking for some RonJon 18" Inspyre wheels with nice Michelin Pilots on them.. let me know... I am asking 1200 for the set but (about $4K in to them), let me know.. I am negotiable.

BTW, I wish somone would have reminded me about the meet.. damn!

I used to see a WDP on Dairy Ashford, parked in front of the pawn shop right before you get to Westpark Tollway. Is that the one you are talking about ?
