Yes, you could, and that is how many people do it.
My problem was more personal. I wanted to have my unit to have all official programming, including my purchased maps, voices, etc. By having TomTom Home install and sign everything I did not need to use outside tools. This is intended towards an individual who wants to know how to have their unit remain completely factory while switching the navcore to the truck version.
The problem with manually installing navcore is the fact that you have to do all the work. This method is simply showing an exploit that allows TomTom Home to do all the heavy lifting.
I don't discourage manual installing of navcore versions. However, I can't stand the pages upon pages of people going on about how they installed the wrong version and bricked their unit, and this is more or less fool-proof.
using this method I have not encountered any issues with RDSTMC functionality via USB RDSTMC charger or via Headphone jack like connector RDSTMC. The RDSTMC issue appears to be the problem many individuals are having when side loading the official navcore.
I do wish my post did not have the Flags cut up by the server.... now people can not copy and paste the information.
