Hi All,

I have been reading on this forum from before I got my 02 M3. It came with a MKIII, but I replaced it with a MKIV right away. When I first installed it, I dowloaded and burned the v32 sw, and then installed it using instructions from here.

Everything worked well, no issues.

So after doing more reading, I decided I needed a custom splash screen on mine. I got NavTweak and magicISO, then went to work.

I moved in the new picture, saved out the ISO, burned it, and tried to install. It didn't work. After more reading I realized it was because the sw version was the same as what I had on there and wasn't updating.

Read more, got a hex editor, and per ccfj's (thanks btw, your contribution on here is huge) changed the sw to 1010 instead of 1000 which it is in the hex on the 2 .tbl files.

I went out to install that disk, and part way through, the screen said that it had a "programming error", and that the update failed.

Screen went black after that and hasn't been back on. I burned a stock copy of the V32 sw and tried putting that back on, it didn't work though.

The stereo still works fine, when I put in the v32 disk, the screen flicks, but nothing appears after that.

Cliff's Notes: MKIV Screen is black/dead after botched SW/Splash Screen update attempt.

What is the standard operationg procedure here as to how to get this thing back on it's feet?

TIA

Marshall
