What I've been doing over Xmas...

[jochen 4]

So I thought time to get deeper into my E39 over Xmas...

...so out with the 'puter, a hex editor, and I-Bus interface, some OS discs, and...

...end result - I now have a custom start-up screen on my nav system...

...and also custom menu text on the main menu...

I also changed some of the menu words I didn't like :-)

But tonight I got bored with the blue BMW roundel splash screen I loaded the day before before Xmas so tonight I loaded another - so now when I open the door and jump in the car, I have a beautiful colour image of the M62 V8 engine displayed on my screen.

Saves wear and tear on the bonnet hinges from me viewing my engine ;-/

And the image has my name on it of course... thieves be damned, my owner details are programmed in my car's software :-)

...don't you love how these E39s can be customised?

Try and do that on a Ford Falcon!

And all with Windows XP !

See ya - Jochen
