mr12volt customised boot logo

Post by Chippie » Mon Mar 06, 2023 7:35 pm

I found this on a M3 forum and thought it may be of interest for anyone with the later unit.

Link to update file, this has the mr12volt boot logo and the file to update the p2000

and a ” ///M” boot logo below

Personalised Boot Screen:
Don't use the sd card slot, use the usb dongle that you likely wired into the glove box. The newer unit (Model No: P2000-CICMD) does not use a password.

Instruction for changing bootup logo:
The above has a sample custom image (///M logo).
The boot logo file in that zip file should be replaced with either the one provided or the one you create following the instructions below.
If you use your own just remove the .jpg from the file and add to the USB stick, and the update file from Mr12v.
Preparation:
Take your 16gb or less stick formatted as fat 32.
Unzip the update tool in the attachment above, you will get two files:
update
bootlogo

If you want Create your custom start up image:
Image file must be in .jpg format, 800x400 and less than 30kb in file size
If you create the image in Photoshop, make sure the jpeg is output with "baseline encoding", or simply use Windows Painter/Mac preview to create a jpeg image.
The filename must be saved as bootlogo.jpg at first, but after the image file is created, use file manager to remove the file extension .jpg from bootlogo.jpg. This leaves you with a file called bootlogo with no extension on the end. This is the most common area people fail on the install so be sure you follow this critical step as they unit won’t recognize the file if it’s a .jpg or image type file extensions.
Replace the file bootlogo with the new bootlogo you have just created (or the one provided above) after you remove the .jpg from the file.
Now place these two files into the USB stick, don’t create any folders, just the two files update and bootlogo.

Plug the usb stick into the p2000 usb cable then go to:
P2000 (CD 1 setting from BMW head unit)>Settings>System>Factory Mode>select Reboot
It may trigger the system to think you have entered a USB stick with mp3 files on it, if that happens just back out to the main menu and go to settings.
Once you reboot you should see a red screen, then the text "Update in Progress" and finally you will see the new logo created by you on the screen. Disconnect the stick once you see your logo. Its now updated and the new splash screen will appear if you start the car up from the P2000 instead of the head unit.
