NAV Hack Side Effect?
I just did the NAV hack this morning a while i was driving around later in the day I needed to use the route guide. I had a movie on at the time( for the wife and kids) so I wanted to have the computer lady's voice tell me when to turn and it never did I drove right by the exit. So what I am trying to say is that it didn't tell me when to turn but it did tell me when I had arrived at my dest.
Has this happened to anybody else or did I screw something up?

But you'll be able to change route or enter new destination while moving? Can't you change your destination while moving because Acura navi can without having to do any hacking.

Think it as the car is being tow and the destination set in..
Thanks.

I did the hack and this is my one and only problem:
The Nav system still gives proper commands at the right times and places as needed. I have ceramic tint.
However, the blue path from origin to destination stays on the screen and does not disappear, unless if I decide to go off track of the preset blue path the Nav system provided.
That's all.
If the Nav lady forgot to give you a verbal instruction, make sure that you did not turn off the Voice Command Option in the Menu setting.
Also, the Nav lady does not give instructions at all time. You sometimes need to press the Speak Button and say "Directions" to activate her instruction.

You might want to check your wires? Check if there are any loose wires.
