Programming custom picture in the APS/Command display
Hey!

When i turn on my APS20 system a Mercedes Benz logo will show for a few seconds in the display, is it possible to get your own picture in there somehow?

Someone knows anything?

Thanks
David

I've been pondering scouring the hard drive for these image files, as well as, perhaps some files that define the colors used for the display in hopes of getting a blue color scheme. I'm planning to try one of these weekends...

I personally believe that this image is stored on a EEPROM and not on the HU harddrive.

Sorry but I don't see a reason to change the picture as you said it is only there for a few seconds. Now changeing the colors of the comand display I can understand.

a custom wallpaper would be incredible...

even on the non MM package as well...the screen is very well capable of all colours... so it's just up to some hackers now.
