Cool Re: Hack the nav - enable trip computer and AC

No worries about the files.

I had to go to the dealer for another problem (VTM-4 wouldn't engage) and of course I had to deal with the non working Nav system.

The dealer said that there are a few Nav systems that have a flaw that causes the unit to quit recieving input, and that it looks like mine might be one of those.

The net result is my NAV system had to be replaced and I'm without my new truck for a day or two (though mostly that is due to the dealer wanting to do a through check of the 4WD).

I'm done experimenting for now. When we have more information from a SH4 / Windows CE programer to look at the program flow of the RL vs the Ridge ROM images and perhaps reverse engineer the right "bit to twiddle" I might look again....after someone else has done it

I'm still holding out hope that if we make enough noise Honda may enable the trip computer with a future release of the nav DVD.
