Create your own startup logo for your RNS-510

Website takes an appropriately sized image of your choice (or use one from the gallery) and creates a custom ISO image to download.

Create your own custom bootlogo for RNS510

Have not loaded an image with it myself but have looked at the file structure on the iso and it looks good.
Only writes a new startup logo, doesn't change anything else. So the ISO is only ~4MB.

I am going to bet photos of breasts are the most commonly processed images.

Are you connected with the site or the developer at all ?
Seems very generous on their part...

Nope, I have no association with them, just sharing the wealth. Read the notes and FAQ, its just a couple of guys having fun reverse engineering the firmware load process.
I did the same thing with the HDD repartitioning.

Nice then I am going to join the users and do a screen for myself

How's this;

Cool idea, only I don't have any pictures (or inspiration) on what to use as a replacement. (Higher quality VW logo or car photos I guess).

If anyone does this I wouldn't mind seeing the photos shared here (if allowed).

Great idea - get some creative ideas going

Browse through some of the galleries on there...some absolutely awful pics...quite humorous.

Has anyone had any success with the iso downloads? I have tried three CDs with no success. I am rebooting system with eject/*? setup buttons, then, after inserting the disc the system restarts and doesn't seem to recognise the iso file.

[Ryan_R]

Other software updates require that you turn the unit on with the key NOT in the ignition. Once booted, insert the CD, reboot it with those 3 buttons and wait. It might appear to ignore the CD, but just keep waiting for a few minutes after its booted, and it may start updating all of a sudden.

With that in mind, I suggest this favourite thread of mine over in GolfMKV:

NWS: Hot Chicks and Crazy Dubs??? - VW GTI Forum / VW Rabbit Forum / VW R32 Forum / VW Golf Forum - Golfmkv.com

Plenty of VW pics to choose from!


Here's the equivalent thread for those needing to create a startup logo for their "Chinese version of RNS-510":

Yeah, only the top-left one caught my eye as a potential replacement. If I was going to use the picture of a Golf, I think it would have to be my own Golf (model + paint colour), or at least an identical one (not too many of those around, though).

When I visualize how it would look on my screen though, it seems a little ricey (in want of a better word).

Agree - got to watch it's not change for changes sake, and really get a decent image up there. I think it needs to be quite subtle - otherwise might as well put a silly spoiler on the back, hack the $hit out of the springs and drill a few holes in your exhaust - for that truly authentically bad entry-level Lancer setup.

I could not get the ISO file to work from the website. I had burnt 3 disks, all of which did not work. The software always looked like it was working and updating on my radio, but at the last stage when is was looking for the startup image, it would say that it could not find a valid image. I then gave up for a while.
I then saw my file in the gallery on the website, so I downloaded a new ISO file with my image that was in the websites gallery. It then worked ok.
I also noticed that the ISO image file that finally did work, was larger than the ISO image files I created earlier.

An additional note.....I wasted many blank discs that would not work. I now use a DVD+RW and it works fine every time.
