Well, I can now confirm the startup logos are all available, and are called via a setting on the EEPROM.
I can also confirm that if the Fascia is matched to the main unit, then all you need to do to get a colour LCD HVAC/Radio working is set the VIN number in the main EEPROM.
The proof is in the pictures.....
Fascia and Main Unit Data mismatch (Fascia was programmed for my Calais Main Unit)
Fixed by setting EEPROM locations on the fascia unit.
Service Menu on New main unit... (Just to determine if there is a difference with the software)
And Finally, to top everything off, the HSV Startup logo screen,
complete with Clubsport R8 1295 (Build Number) of the doner car....
Sorry for the bluriness of the last picture, the startup animation does not last very long, and the main unit was on its side, in the drivers footwell, and I was trying to turn the deck on, whilst take a photo sideways...
If that doesnt get you excited, then maybe a video will ????
