This is promising but not yet a defined option. i have found the ability to change the star logo to the amg logo and it works, but it resets with the 2nd key cycle every time...ive got to do some more digging and see if I cant find a way to delete the star so that i has no default image to revert to....

and as an even bigger tease ive been able to do it with my own images as well, but they stop after the 2nd key cycle as well...im going to get this cracked.....be nice to have pix of your own car, your kids, Denny's...you get the idea...im not going to post how i got into this system just yet as i know that i am skating on thin ice with hot blades in relation to bricking this unit but as soon as i get the image to stay, a defined process and it's safe yall know i will post up

How about rename the new file with the default file name after renaming or deleting the default.

It would also be great if the file sizes matched...

Subscribed! I agree with jerryt. It could be something as simple as renaming the file and keeping it a certain file size and resolution. I have doubts, but I hope so.

Great stuff jp! You're quickly becoming our resident electronics guru. In the BMW world some eastern Euros were selling various electronic enhancements for BMW M's. One (that I purchased on eBay) was the ability to choose between (6?) different M startup splash screens, pretty cool to have. The AMG one looks fantastic.

This system looks like its written in cursive Aramaic once you get inside....I know there is a gate that is switching but since I cant actually watch it open or close when the system is shutting down im having to pick a path, write down all the values, cycle the key and compare.....line by line....good thing I work for the govt so ive got the time!!!

Subbed! I'd love to know how you do that too, from a software engineer POV there's lots of things I'd change on this car's coding!

How about while you're in there, you figure out how to make the screen and steering wheel controls recognize other media on an iPhone besides the Apple music. LOL


Good work!
