I just picked up my RL last Friday. Read through this complete thread and expected to have some kind of answer by now. This issue looks like it just died. I still want the damn trip computer.....

Is Honda working on this? Is anyone still trying to hack the software?

Will the trip computer ever work?????????

Unless the guy who on this site that successfully hacked it will fill us in, I doubt you will know in this model year. I understand where he's coming from, because he is technically breaking the law with modifying the hardware/software and any passing along of this info could theoretically get him in trouble with the law. I'd love it if I was pm'd with this info so that I could do it on my own and use it for my personal use, but when you open up pandora's box, it's hard to get it closed again.

Dopey question....how do I tell which version of the navi software I'm running?

By the way...great forum! I purchased my RTL over the weekend...never thought I'd look forward to going to work (well, to the commute part, anyway.)

This hacking thread is pretty intense. A lot of man hours and sweat into it. I have a friend who unintensionally performed a vehicle hack years ago in a much simpler time.

It seams his Australian market '60s VW speedometer light burnt out, so he decided to pop off a 3" round piece of plastic near the speedo to access the bulb. After a quick twist of a flathead screwdriver, he had the suprise of his life. Underneath the cover was a fully functional tachometer! I guess it was cheaper for VW to install the tach on all of these cars and hide it from people unwilling to cough up the extra dough. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Yes, I wanna see that I'm getting 15mpg as I literally watch the gas needle drop like a rock in water.... At least I'll be entertained as it drops that fast!
