Hi nomad,
Maybe I'm doing something wrong here but I've got a question.
You say at stage C that you have to hex edit sw_rel.tbl but do not mention what you do with it afterwards. I assumed you overwrote the original with UltraIso, which is what I did. I've tried the mod 6 times but keep getting the same problem. If I change languages to F or D, I can change the navi volume and hear the "louder" or "quieter" but as soon as I select English, the volume slider starts to freeze and the system re boots into German. I have used several different downloads of the V32 SW and 2 different RAR apps, 2 different media types and 2 PCs but still no luck. I tried running in French and got all the voice directions, saw the new camera icons but did not get a sound alert (should have been 250/attention). Thanks for all your work. Before I had this car I used TT6 and cannot believe how pathetic the navteq is by comparison but your hack would make a huge difference as I can't watch the screen all the time and can easily miss a speed cam.
