REC navigation modification / hacks

Hey people of the lxforums!!!

This is a call to people with programing knowledge or have previous experiance "modifying" programs...

http://www.300cforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6039

We have this thread started over at 300cforums.com and would like to invite anyone here that feels they have something to offer to post here and I will watch between the two sites and I'm hoping with a meeting of the minds we can change the nag screen and the inmotion menu.. Maybe even a custom startup screen... Who knows what we'll find out once we get into it..

Anyways, any help is appreciated!

It looks like Flexion has made some progress of atleast loading it into the correct viewer.

I know the first step for a lot of us to do this semi-legally would be to purchase a Double Layer dvd-r drive so once the procedure is known, we can DIY. I am not too sure if the tool used officially decompiles the program which could be stepping close to DMCA etc...

So I know that most data dvd's aren't encrypted the same as a movie dvd is, so creating a backup of your own disc is well within the limits of most copyright laws in the US here. As for the editing of the data? Who says you can't customize your car's stereo?

So it looks like this routine for the disclaimer can be bypassed very easily by changing a few values here... It looks like if line 079616A0 is removed it won't loop back to the beginning of the routine waiting for enter to be pressed.

If you can get this to work and make it a very simple DIY, I would be willing to pay money for this option.

I got cash too! I don't WANT to be protected from myself!

I'm game.
I hate having to press "ENTER" everytime I fire the thing up,
and I would also like full function of the search functions while moving. They didn't consider that maybe the PASSENGER could be navigating and searching on the system while the driver is driving!
I would like a little personal responsibilty applied to myself,
I don't like that Dodge is deciding for me if I have the abilty
to operate the NAV and drive at the same time.
What's next? Will they lock out the radio too?

So yeah, if this hack is succesful please let us know,
I want one!

I'm up for it!

The suggested changes would be worth paying for.

Amen to Video Bob's Post!!!

Please count me in!

Sounds good.

DCX didn't make the decision to lock out options while you're moving. Personal injury lawyers and the dumbest 12 jurors they can find did.
