Err.. umm.. that would be because the player UI is not in the kernel, hijack or otherwise. So if you see what looks like a 1.03 UI, it is because your player has the 1.03 release installed on it. Hijack will install on top of 1.03, except that the IR remote will not work correctly.

I know this can be confusing to a newbie, but the UI and kernel are two different items. The kernel is easily downloadable, and stored in FLASH, whereas the UI is part of the major "upgrade" process, consisting of several files stored on the hard disk.

The confusing part, of course, is that Hijack kernels include a second menu system, accessed via push-and-hold on the knob (or MENU button). This is separate from the main player UI.

To see if your player still has 1.03 on it, just enter the player menu system (tap the bottom button on front panel), and scroll sideways to the "About" option and select it. Current UI version will be shown on the screen, whether or not you have Hijack installed.
