RE: update info on the gps system called navteq
The best information that I can garner from the groups is a chronological order of AC, then AD, then AE. If anyone has the latest one can they verify that it is AE? Is there any distinguishing part number for the latest part?

I went to canhack.org and have absolutely no idea what the webpage is talking about...and I'm pretty swift when it comes to computer and cars. How do you set the nav to allow you to make changes while the car is moving?

I personally haven't made the time to do this but others on the forum have. I'm not sure if you run the program against an ISO image of the disk or what. Hopefully someone that has done it will chime in.

Here's the poop from the canhack forum...

For the impatient, here are the step by step update instructions:
1) Insert your NAVTEQ version AE DVD into your computer
2) Create a new folder, and copy the entire contents of the DVD to that folder. Call it anything you want, but for this example lets call it NewDVD.
3) Run this patch program.
4) When prompted, point the patching utility to the ZH2FF folder inside the directory to which you copied the DVD contents
5) This produces the modified navigation program, MAIN.APN
6) Copy the MAIN.APN program from the ZH2FF folder to the ZH200 folder. Your system will ask if you want to overwrite the file in that directory, and you should do it. Be sure to copy it, not move it. You must have the modified MAIN.APN program in both the ZH2FF and ZH200 folders
7) Delete the PatchWise.log file and backup directory if you opted to have the patcher make a backup of the original MAIN.APN. You don't want those on the burned DVD
8 ) Burn the entire contents of the NewDVD folder to a new double layer DVD. It should have 6 folders and 14 files in the top level directory
8a) The Nav unit is picky about DVD format. Read the details in the following message(s) to make sure you get it right. We have collectively wasted many discs on improper formats.
9) Really read the detailed message below before using the DVD in your Nav, unless you don't mind taking a chance on ruining your unis.
More detailed explanations and disclaimers are provided below, and again, we highly recommend reading them before attempting the process.
I'll also follow up with details of exactly what the patch is modifying in the code.
Note - the patch file patches the version number to 2.04.01. This is the minimum increment over the stock 2.04.00.
