I extracted the contents of the Nav DVD yesterday but have only done a quick skim of the files for suspect text strings that contain function on/off switches. I was using Hex Workshop for viewing.

Yes, I did experiment with this. I used Power Grep 3 which allows viewing, searching, and editing the raw file content. I found several sections of text which I tried to replace or rename. The files edited, saved, and burned fine. Then the modified firmware DVD started to load fine too but it would eventually crap out just before activating the application. I think it was a checksum error or perhaps I edited some key data improperly. I ultimately decided to anandon this since I wanted a hardware mod anyway. Even if I could modify the old firmware I would still want to upgrade to the newest version each time, and with the hardware mod then all my enhancements stay in effect.
