Title: Does this Splash Screen Look Ok?
Post by: GTI-Ross on January 15, 2013, 08:39:15 pm: Hey up guys, just fitted my new Pioneer AVIC-F930BT (upgraded to the F940BT firmware)

All the splash / boot up screens are a bit rubbish, so tried to make my own, im no pro....but dont want it to look too cheap. (used picture from here as it the only Tornado Red i could find that was cool)

And this is it on screen (bad light and reflection i know)

Post by: Lone_Par on January 15, 2013, 09:03:59 pm: It looks better in the picture of the actual unit than the first image. Not really my taste though, I prefer something simple like what Andy has suggested. Nice logo, GTI font, image of Fast etc.

Post by: GTI-Ross on January 15, 2013, 09:13:42 pm: well with it not been an OEM stereo, thought i would mix it up a little and "try" do something a little cool :grin:

(PS. if anyone is think of buying a Sat-Nav stereo, seriously check this out, such good value for money, totally changed the audio quality, sounds insane now)
