Heck, I'm checking my frequent flier miles to see about giving Otaku a free flight to Dallas. Between myself and Goofygrin, we have everything he'd need.

(I'm thinking someone who is savy with HDD removal, has the adapter to connect HDD to laptop, and a fairly decent computer).

Have Otaku dictate what hardware/software would be needed for him to adjust the program on the fly.

Then utilize some remote assistance program where Otaku could remotely program the HDD from the comfort of his own home(such as Crossloop) and an instant messenger for communication (AIM Express maybe?).

Theoretically, the volunteer would only have to remove the hard drive, connect it to their computer, and let Otaku do his thing, and reconnect the HDD to MMCS.

Test that build for functionality, if it works great, if not, rinse and repeat.

It might seem a bit of a stretch, but I'm just as anxious to see this happen as anyone else.

Just a suggestion, and I hope you'll be gentle on a noob's first post.

All the best,
SimonSez
I actually offered this up to Otaku via PM *yesterday*. I have everything I'd need, including a high-end laptop, experience locking/unlocking the drive, writing images to disk, a T1 net connection, and I've been a software architect for the last 5 years. Also, I could give a rat's *** if we brick the navi... I can fix it regardless.

Otaku: I'll give you VNC to my laptop and we can get this taken care of. Let us know if you'd want to do the process this way.

I sent Otaku a PM 2+ weeks ago, offering anything needed to figure out how to unlock the newer navi. No response.

Totally willing to help out.

Heh..
And now its _my_ turn to be :$
I coulda sworn I had PM notifications turned on..
*sigh*

As it happens , I'll apparently be heading out to Seattle around the 16th of this month..
If the Overlords can be persuaded that 6'4" me won't fit in economy class that is ..
And I think I'm sorted - all thanks to Brian Weaver of mitsubishiforum , he is in that locale ..
Hopefully will have a nice update for y'all soon..

I didn't read all the pages so feel free to flame but at least for the 2008 wrx navi in order for it to play movies in motion all you do is ground the wire that goes from the HU to the ebrake. But in the back of the HU not down by the handle. The navi thinks the ebrake is up.

Have you guys tried that?

My thought was it was software activated rather than wired from the Ebrake. Has anyone confirm this?

I would never watch a movie i had never seen while driving. Unless i really wanted to see it but then again a mother #$@@#@ broke into my car and stole my alpine dvd head unit so i won't watch anymore movies till i get my evo and do this
heh same idea - but w/ a bose surround sound

Lancers have a speed sensor, and it has nothing to do with the ebrake or tranny position. You can be stopped, in drive at a stop light, and the video plays. As soon as you go over 1mph, it cuts out video and keeps playing audio.

Unfortunately, there's like a million other things the speed sensor is important for. Like, for example, the speedometer.
