chuck, i would NOT use the xmmute/srmute
it could have adverse effects, i removed them on purpose
the muting of the radios, is part of how i manage all 3 radios, xm/sr/hd radio
it might be ok, it might cause a problem with 2 devices being unmuted at one time
so use with caution

guys, dont over think the 4month thing, what it means is guino is gonna give you more updates to RR in the future, its his was of making sure you're up to date, and preventing some people to attempt to SELL RR

when updating you EXISTING install, just use the installer!!!
it wont touch any .ini file
it will update all ur xm/sr image...
it will update any changes to hd/xm/sr objects
and if vista, it will install vista volume control

and all these are OPTIONAL

I am running 2006 version code. I dont update my CarPC software if there isnt need. Forcing me to every 4 months wont make me update to the new version that will force me...

Brought my carpc inside to copy a few GB's of music to it and just finished dumping my old RR setup and installed it fresh with this version. Works awesome.

Now, if I install this I HAVE to update every 4 month? Not a good idea. Why fix it when ain't broke.

i have to agree with guino,and i did see something like this coming , this is guinos work and even if we don't like it, he has the last word, how many times we all have requested new features and guino did those for us, so now is our turn, is asking for our support on this new step, personally i think is not hard at all to download the new exe, copy it to the carpc, and all this because of few people taking advantage from RR. oh well!!

-RoadRunner now will check the date when running: it will not run if your date is set BEFORE its release date, or 4 months PAST it's release date

This is completely unacceptable. I can't have RR suddenly fail to load when I'm in a rush to get to an appointment. The same thing happened to me with XPort right in the middle of a work day and I wanted to kill the author. I drive a lot as part of my business and rely on my carputer and my GPS.
