I thought I would share what I found out.

I have been discussing with Kenwood suport these past few days on how to customize the start-up screen.

Here's what you should do:
1. Connect USB that contains your custom background ( for my test, I use a background with 480 x 234 pixels)
2. enter setup mode by:
- holding both SRC+EJECT and while holding it press the RESET button
- wait for the screen that displays:
- Kenwood Image
- OEM image
3. Select OEM Image
4. Select the file that you wanted to be the start-up screen, hit ENTER
5. You will be back to the screen described in (2)
6. Turn OFF unit by holding SRC
7. Turn ON unit by pressing SRC

The unit should start up with your customized background.

 

is there n e thing like this for the eclipse headunits???

 

Is this the same with the DNX7120?

 

my guess is there should be..i have not seen any information about it, though.

 

I'm not sure how to go about the DNX7120 since you have a full touch screen. The DNX5120 has buttons outside the screen to facilitate performing the procedure.
Email kenwood@alorica.com or call 1-800-536-9663 ext 1918 for details. They are very helpful.

 

And poost info here lol

 

E-Mail sent.

 

Nevermind... I figured out that you have to do all that before you turn the unit ON. I'm a moron... I reset my settings like 10 times...

 

Any update on this?
