New LCD screen and digitizer installed in my MIB2 head unit, it was playing up selecting options on its own and and the right hand side of the touch screen was not responsive. Everything back to normal now with the new screen.

Nice work
Complete screen units are quite expensive.
I use specific type of digitalisers (not too expensive).
I don't remove the faulty one and I attach replacement unit with a UV adhesive/glue.
Final result is like a factory OEM.

Hi Robert,

I did buy a digitizer and was going to go that route but in the end I folded and got the LCD screen just because it was a neater job and I have OCD issues . Your more than welcome to have the digitizer if we ever have a chance to meet in person. I'm on the T6 Form trying to get custom pictures of my van on the MIB unit

Have you got Python scrip downloaded yet
and a computer with a Linux?
I can help if you want to learn.

I have the MIB Tool Box installed and Python downloaded but I do not know how to use Python and I dont have a computer with Linux. If its something you can help me with I will sort you out.

First of all what's your DM unit SW version?
Can you point me to your up to date VCDS Autoscan?

Its updated to 0478 and has CP removed.

Perfect, thanks.

Okay, let's rock and roll

Take a close up photo of each menu entry with a vehicle picture that you would like to get replaced with your own van.
I would consider: VEHICLE STATUS, TYRE PRESSURE LOSS INDICATOR, DRIVING DATA, SAT-NAV COMPASS, etc.

Next, take a nice photographs of your van in exactly same stance. For example: RHS side profile, back, front left corner and so on. You can refer to my demo YT video. Best photo results are achieved if you park your van on a concrete or tamac pavement with consistent background.

Put the SD card(the same one you have used for installing Toolbox- literally with the same content) in one of your slots.

Go in to your Toolbox menu and select DUMP and then select GRAPHIC FILES (SKINS).
This will download all skin packages from your DM to your SD card. IMAGES.MCF for SKIN0 is your desired file.

Next step is to prepare your photos by cutting out the bare vehicle out of original photos and leaving background transparent. You should do this yourself but if you can't I can help.

And then send me all of these photos and your IMAGES.MCF file and I will do the swap over for you.

Following step will be the upload of modified IMAGES.MCF file back to your DM.

Obviously last stage will be enjoyment and a lot of showing off

Robert
It sounds like your doing FishermansFriend a massive
Serious kudos to u my friend

Mate, sharing is caring

Feeling that luv all the way in Australia

Say hello to my good friend Buster in Perth

Hiya Robert
The love you share was massive hence why I could feel it from here
I hope Buster is awake, I'm just driving past his place, I'll toot, shout out, say hi & wave.......
Geographically speaking, Perth is 4,336km from me
Perth is 4½x the total length of England
Or as a different perspective, ⅓ of the flight from London to me
But if I see him, sure
Crack me up, Australia is such a big place

Thanks Robert, I have the van washed and photos taken, just have to edit them now.

I couldn't get the USB Hub to work, think it was the cables I ordered from Ali Express that were the issue. So made some up myself.
