personalize your background pix at start-up and change the text.

Don't think we can do anything like that... The Acura nav is not a proprietary navigation (I think it uses some version of windows CE maybe??)... But the Lexus one (Denso) is 100% proprietary... No changes can be made at all as far as I know

I wish we could get a hold of someone from Denso who could maybe get us a version of this software that doesnt have all the lame hinderances.

Not a soul on this board that hasn't griped about the "I Agree" wait - Like I would want to wait for something else - just so it can throw up some useless text ??? I don't think so ! What an absolute waste of effort.
