new menus for AVC9000 head unit

[clip]

At the risk of starting another modding argument , this is just for those that have the AVC9000 (or equivalent) head unit (or thinking about getting one). There is now a simple app available that allows you to crack the file, replace the menus and then then reflash the head unit. You custom design your own interface in your favourite imaging software, and then away you go!

Here's a couple of examples that I've tweaked a bit, courtesy from some the guys over in the GTi forum (apologies for the quality, they look better in real life). The first pics is the standard menu's, the second is mine (just in case you weren't sure )

Hi Clip,

What is the build quality of the actual unit like? I have had something similar in an older car and while it worked and played all the things it said it would it "felt" cheap, ie the buttons clicked cheaply, there was lag from pressing the button to something happening, what is this unit like?

something else I hated was that it did not display the full name of the MP3 when it was playing music, it said things like britney~1.mp3 or something like that (but I would never admit to listening to Britney ), does this one do the same?

Guess what I am trying to say is that it felt like I was using a $300 unit from China rather than a $1500 Alpine unit and was just wondering what standard this unit was made to, cheers.

How much did that setup cost (including fitment) John? I'm quite keen on it seeing what you have achieved. It looks really good.

Want to share that update file to those that want to go the AVC9000 route?

would be interested in this... have the unit in my jetta and would like to change the way some of the menus look.
what is the software that you use to create the new menus?
