Next in line is an e-mail to Gary K.

Hi Steve
I had the same question a few years back and a friend who is an electronics whizz offered to reprogram my L-Nav from 5.7 to 5.8.
Apparently all he had to do was read a 5.8 eprom and then flash mine to upgrade it. I didn't go ahead only because It meant removing the eprom from the other L-Nav and there was a very minor risk of breakage in doing so. Since I had taken the 5.8 L-Nav to my friend to get it repaired (malfunctioning button) for a fellow pilot I wasn't prepared to go there.
If I owned another 5.8 L-Nav I'd give it a crack in a heart beat.
