You're welcome

You had the wrong dimensions and file format, so it was an easy fix. If you need more help, just let me know.

Anyone tried this with version 6.55 of the dvd?

When i look on the dvd instead of 06AVN.bin i have 07AVN.bin

If i try it using the 07AVN.bin and it doesnt work will it all just go back to the way it originally was?

I suspect the procedure is the same, but there's only one way to be sure...and that's to attempt it. Do so at your own risk, of course

Assuming that the updated '07 DVD is nothing but maps updates, then it should work just fine. If it's also software updates, then it may or may not work. Sure wish I had the 6.55 to confirm...

If i mess something up doing it will disconecting the battery put it back to the original?

I don't think it will. The updates are hard coded in the head unit. However there might be some sort of "hard reset" option that I'm not aware of. Look at the navigation manual that came with your car and see if such an option exists.

If you do decide to attempt it, be sure to post here and let us know how it goes.

If it does not work, Just load the factory disk back in and press the map,menu,& cancel for 5 sec. Press version and then hit down load. It will redown load the factory disk and all should be normal. This will also work if you have already put a different pic in the splash screen and want it to return to normal. No need to disconnect the battery. But this is still at your own risk...... But do not worry...It took me 3 times to get mine to load the new screen. First try only took out the picture so I did not have one at all, Just a blank screen until the nag screen came up..

I would LOVE to do this, but I'm not mechanically inclined.........doh!

So if we want an updated disc for our 06's we should just be able to burn the new bin to a dvd right?

Not exactly sure what you mean, but if you purchase the 2007 updated DVD, version 6.55, I would suggest putting that update disc in first and formally updating your navigation system before attempting to change your welcome screen. Once that's done, then try using the new bin and burning it to DVD.

leko1782 · 11-29-2006, 09:21 PM

Has anyone with an 07 civic tried the hack yet? Was it successfull?

ilcypherli · 11-30-2006, 12:09 PM

I tried to modify the 07avn.bin file but bysin won't open the file. any suggestions would be welcomed

07 Civic SI Sedan

ilcypherli · 11-30-2006, 04:16 PM

It works with an 07 civic SI sedan. The file on the dvd is 07AVN2.bin not 06AVN2.bin. Also they changed the image names. It's no longer Opening1.bmp. It is now a series of images named: OpeningBase.bmp (earth scene), Navi_Title.bmp (navigation logo), and Honda_Emblem.bmp (honda sign). But other than that it works just like it does for the 06 using the bysin.exe program.

leko1782 · 12-01-2006, 01:16 AM

How are we supposed to do the hack on an 07 civic if it has those extra images? Im a bit lost,lol. Thanks in advance.

ilcypherli · 12-01-2006, 10:10 AM

What I did was to edit those extra two files as well. I simply extracted the bin and resized the other two pictures to only one pixel big so they are practically invisible. Then you just update all three files in the bin and download it to the navi.

MellowGato · 12-01-2006, 10:53 AM

This is sort of on topic-
My neighbor bought an 07 Si, after driving my 06 SI. He burned me a copy of his nav disk, on a dual layer disk. I have had that disk in my nav for th last 3 months, and it has worked perfectly. I think his disk is version 6.55, and mine was 6.14.
Anyway - if you are still having issues, try burning to a dual layer disk.
Hipe this helps...

zeusma · 12-09-2006, 07:38 PM

Have you tried the hack with the 3 image file setup for the v6.55 nav ilcypherli? FYI: My car came with v6.11c. I just loaded v6.55 disc in. It took about 10 minutes for the car to reconize and reconfigure itself. Now I wan t to try the hack... or maybe it would be easier if I loaded my old disc back in.

leko1782 · 12-21-2006, 05:33 PM

can anyone who has an 07 civic who has tried the navi hack please post SIMPLE instructions as to how to do that hack. We understand that there are 3 image files now instead of 1 but the instructions we have previously received are still a bit complicated. Thanks in advance
