Does it not irritate anyone else besides me to have to press enter each and everytime you start up the rx8 to get passed that freaking warning screen? It's driving me nuts!
I've looked everywhere on how to disable the warning function, but i've come up empty handed. Perhaps someone here knows?

Same think on the BMW Nav and many others (also on my Garmin StreetPilot 2610).
Welcome to the litigation happy world we've created and the anticipatory protections created by manufacturer's legal depts.

That's just ridiculous. There are no warning screens requiring me to agree not to drink and drive or talk on my cell phone while I operate a motor vehicle each and everytime i start up a car!

You know, I guess when I've used it, I really haven't had to make multiple stops, maybe one or two stops over a long distance, so that's why it doesn't seem like a big deal to me.
I know if my TV had that kind of warning screen, I'd scream bloody murder. Then again, I'm the type of person who will search and search the whole house for the remote rather than just walk up to the TV and change the channel. :P

I think I would use the nav all the time without that warning... I love seeing where parks and lakes are that I didn't know about, as well as golf courses, amusement areas, etc.
I wonder if other cars sold with NAV systems that are part of the dash (i.e. not pop-ups) have this warning as well when the car is started?

If I recall the 2001 Acura TL I test drove had a similar warning. I've accepted that I simply have to hit Enter every time I get in the car. Though on a few rare occasions I've noticed that the normal key beep isn't present.

Yeah. Typically when I get into the "no beep" situation nothing but a power cycle will get it back. I've tried going into the setup menu and turning the beep off and back on. I've also tried the "reset" button I found on one of the normal menus but all it did was reset the preferences back to the defaults.
