OUTSTANDING! CSIMO, Do you think it will be possible for you to have both AC and Trip that work properly? (unless of course, you do already?)
I have been asking everyone (an Acura tech of 20 yrs, etc.) and have not been able to get any good info.

Thanks for your work on this!

Wish I could answer your questions, but at this time I can't say that we'll get either working properly. Right now the only way to access the trip computer is via the voice command "trip computer". It doesn't show on the touch screen menu as of yet.

Don't know about the A/C functions. Not a high priority.

Did try and see if it would be possible to extend the XM description field, but I think it's a hardware limitation of the factory radio. Not positive, but it would be nice to get the additional info contained in the XM stream.

I bought my Ridgeline May 20th. I really like this ride and the clincher is when my wife saw it her remark was that's the one for us. She bought the Ridgeline for me and took my 2004 Ford Escape for her ride. I think I got the better deal although I really do like the Escape. Also I'm working on burning a copy of the DVD for the 4.13C version to see if I can get it to work in the player changing the bit setting to make it a DVD-ROM on a DVD+R9 DL. Hope it works these things are expensive. Will let everyone know if it works. At least if it works we can make a backup of our orginal just in case.

Update... Tried to copy the DVD Navi made and ISO file and then tried to burn to DVD+R9 DL two copies failed to completion. Made a copy of the file that I copied to my HD and burned that one on to the DVD it did burn to completion but it doesn't work in the Navi system. So out of three DVD's I have a copy that don't work and two that are no good... for the cost of $25. I tried but it doesn't seem to work at least on my system.

very nice work.....my fingers are crossed.

Have you checked the trip, is it accurate or does it even work ...??

Your tease just makes it harder to understand the reasons why honda disabled it......"it really exists"

Congrats Cis.

Looking forward to when you get it ready for public consumption..I know all too well the pain of doing it before it's ready for prime time

I wish i had some expertise here that would be of some use. The screen shots posted are making me salivate.

That trip computer just looks awesome.

Anyone make progress on replacing the startup screen? I went to that message board that was linked before but there wasn't any final results that I could see. Lots of speculation and attempts, but no "here's how I did it" info.

Thanks for any news!

Any way to contribute to the research, or would that require disclosing too much info?
