Only the very first units had that problem, what date of manufacture does your Mio168 have on the back, below serial no.

I have a Mio168 that was manufactured in 02 2005, if I look on the Mio Utility it shows the ROM Version as 168WWER22.

If you are satisfied with the performance at the moment then unless you can be sure that any update you do is from Mitac then I would not do it, once done there is no going back without the original from Mitac which I would not think would be available to anyone.

Before doing it I would contact Mitac to see what they say, if there is an official update then they will direct you to it.
