RNS510 Custom Boot Logo
« on: 20 November 2011, 19:48 »
Has anyone tried this:
http://www.netdata.be/iso/?

You simply take an image you want to appear on the screen (instead of the 'Welcome to VW' logo), load it onto this site, download the file, burn to a disk, and stick it in your RNS!  When you boot, you should see your own logo.

I've read about some folk who've tried it on vwnavi and it apparently works great.  I'm now sitting thinking what I'd set my custom boot logo as?!
You can look through all the ones previous people have used too.

On another note... I thought I'd search for some pics to try playing with - so I typed golf R silver into Google images.
My car is the first result!!

Does it just do it automatically when you stick the disk in?
It doesn't wipe out the software VIM does it?!

I'm not sure what to make mine.  I guess I can always burn off another disk with the original logo if I don't like what I make!

It actually works like the FW discs, stick it in the CD slot, it asks if you want to continue then it goes through the update process but like 10 times faster then it say update success and restarts itself.

You then have the logo when it starts up.

Press setup eject and the star button altogether then put your disc in once you've pressed the 3 buttons
