Default Re: Nav Nag Screen

I'm an engineering major with some programming experience, and I can tell you there is NOTHING SHORT of hooking a laptop to it and hacking it from there. Even then, you'd have to hack the firmware embedded in the various modules. Actually though, I just realized. The software is controlled by the DVD, so you'd have to hack the DVD. If you took it out and popped it into a comp, then looked at the source, you could rather easily do away with the lines of code, BUT then you'd have to make sure it runs correctly by re-burning the DVD, and popping it back in to the NAV unit. And thats ASSUMING that the DVD doesn't have some kind of locks on it to prevent you stealing the source (which I can easily get around with some programs that I have but most don't). Problem is, I don't have a DVD burner anyway, so while I could POTENTIALLY do it if I happened to know the programming language its written in (probably C or something I can easily pick up), I couldn't just take out the lines, and reburn it. If someone wants to do this though, let me know, and we can collaborate on it. I'd like to get rid of this too....
