In an attempt to give back instead of continually freeloading, here is a modification of RonS' ShortFuse script coupled to the patched Navi.exe in post #2 that was used successfully on a Z110BT after upgrading to the 2017 v7 US/Can Navi Maps.. .
Instructions (almost verbatim, just copy&pasted with appropriate edits). Held off directly attributing the post, lest anyone mistakenly tries to hold him liable:
"Here is the easy way to install the NoNag hack with no TestMode, editing or patching involved.
Moderator note: WARNING: Only run this script if you are already running v7.0 firmware (2017 maps). I did a binary file comparison between US and EU (v7.0) NAVI.EXE and they are identical. So these files may also work for F series units. Since the original files are copied to the SD, if there is a problem you can manually un-do this using TestMode. You could also copy the V7 NAVI.EXE from the 2017 update files.
Just download this attached zip, unzip, and copy the 3 files to the root of a blank fat32 formatted SD. When you insert it into your AVIC it runs a script that will backup both your existing Navi.exe files, then overwrite them with a patched one."
When you insert the SD, it will prompt you to press any key (button) to continue - or - turn off the ignition to abort. If you decide to abort, just turn off and on your unit - then eject the SD. Nothing on your unit will have changed."
Same rules apply:
- Contains the special scripting-specific version of TESTMODE.KEY
- Deletes the TESTMODE.KEY immediately after initialization to avoid overwriting the original Navi.exe back-ups created on the SD from the unit itself (labeled Navi.ex0 & Navi.ex1), if the card is left in or reinserted again.
- Can't hold me liable either.
I just ran this on my recently updated (to V 7 -- 2017 maps) AVIC-X920BT unit and it worked great. You have both restored my faith in benevolent hackers. Thank you both so much! Having that nag screen gone will save my sanity. The Nag screen probably will cause more car accidents because of frustrated drivers so you are saving lives!

Oh man, I feel for ya. Strep can knock the $hit out of you. Rest up.
From the zip file name I see this is T1000-25818, which is for Z130/Z140/X930/X940. So older units will need a new Cardinfo. See the attachment.
Need a guinea pig to try installing on a Z110/Z120/X920. After unzipping, replace the existing CardInfo.CIF. No fears - if it is wrong, the update will not run.
For now, everyone will need to do the ShortFuse hack to get past the installation password. Hack
I just did this update with the Z110Z120X920CARDINFO file above on my AVIC-X920BT unit and it worked great. I upgraded straight from the original software to this 2017 version and then I ran the Bluetooth update. Thank you all so much! Now my Bluetooth will finally pair with my samsung S8 smartphone. I was about to purchase a new radio for $500 (including install) but not any more. Everything seems to be working fine including the backup camera. Thanks a million!

Awesome! Is there an easier script version or step by step how to do this out there? I would like to disable safe mode but I'm a noob at this stuff and I'm concerned I might edit it wrong. I have the 2017 updated AVIC-X920BT. Thank you!
