Yes, the problem still exists that when you put the DVD with the map data back in the drive it will want to auto-upgrade. This is the reason we need to find a way to burn a workable copy of the DVD with the filenames changed.
I am taking delivery on my Ridgeline w/Navi this week so I have been following this tread.
I also have a 2005 RL w/Navi and I use the trip computer allot so I am hoping someone can figure this out.
The 05 RL controls the A/C system and audio system it also has a system called AcuraLink that connects to
a data enabled Bluetooth phone built into the messaging system. The RL control is a large cursor knob on
the center consol you can see it here: http://www.acura.com/models/model_co....asp?module=rl
I am not sure how compatible the system would be. Anyway I went into the diag system on the Navi and got
this info.

Program Flash 1.10.00SC.BNKA
Program Disc 1.07.0900
IPL 0.231.000
HPL 0.251.122
DBOOT 0.241.122
System u Com 0.190.000
Model SJAA

This is exactly how the info comes up on the screen.
There is also allot of hacking info at: http://tl.acurazine.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=2
My RL software version is 4.13A some RL owners received 4.13B in the mail based on there VIN #
so some of them may have an extra 4.13A disc. Good luck and I hope this has been of some help!
