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 v7.0firmware (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.
