Things of interest:
You can customize the Boot splash screen to almost any picture you like and people now have libraries of fantastic pictures.
You can try using the Acura hacks to remove the lawyer screen and change the OK text to GO. It might not work but it is not a catastrophic failure as you can easily reload your original DVD code.

Pressing MENU, CANCEL, MAP for 5 seconds gets you diag screen and version menu will allow you to load custom code from a CD (no DVD is required) when the file names are correct. Loading is into flash.

BTW you NAVI has a PCMCI slot next to the DVD slot which appears to be for downloading diagnostics logs into flash cards or maybe where you have been and how fast you've driven to the traffic courts.

Further hacks are very difficult as this is windows CE code written in C++.
The diassembled code is posted but it is not for the faint of heart.

Enjoy

Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, the info on the tsx.acurazine.com you mention is not accurate for the ridgeline navi system. It does NOT work with the Ridgeline. The files on the disks are not the same as the ones listed in the procedure, and the "version" screen does not list any of the info needed to hack the system using this methd.

Yes MENU CANCEL MAP gives you a setup screen with file names, and I can get to the "version" screen easily, but none of these files are listed.

BN2HH12C.BIN
BN2HH110.BIN
BN2HH120.BIN
BN2HHMLD.BIN
BN2HN12B.BIN
BN2HN18B.BIN
BN2HN380.BIN
BNHH401A.BIN
BNHN404A.BIN

Until someone figures out which .bin file we are looking to modify, it will not do any good. Contrary to many peoples belief, the files on the ridgeline are different than the other systems listed on tsx.acruazine.com and the dumpnavi program does not work until I know what .bin file the ridgeline uses.

Do you know this info? Can you give me some procedures? I would like to try.
