CU2 2008 Accord Euro Navigation start-up Background Mod
(this would also work with other current gen Honda navi system)
(the steps on CL9 system should be the same except for the file name... I am not sure)
I have been looking around the net to see how to change the start up screen for the Sat Nav

afterwards, i found out that it is basically the same as the US ones, but you have to change different file names and location.
the following is based on a US. civic mod with Australia file names and my own computer's screen shot.
Intro/Requirements:
Well, first things first. Here are the required items before we can start our mini-hack.
-bysin.exe, CECompressv4.dll Download
-Original Navigatoin DVD
-Blank CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-R/DVD+R/DVD+RW (i used a Memorex DVD+RW, 2.4x w/success)
- Create the screen image you want. It must adhere to the following:
Width: 480
Height: 234
Depth: 16 (aka 16bit)
File Size: 224,712
Type: BMP
Name: OpeningBase.bmp
Use converting software to convert the image & make sure that it is set out like the above (or else it wont work)

How-To Guide:
Step 1. Make things easy, lets create a folder structure to work with. Just create a new "navi" folder on your main harddrive (C: drive).
Then create a new folder in the navi folder called "files" (c:\navi\files ), we will put the files we need from the navigation dvd into here.
Also you can create a folder called "bysin" (c:\navi\bysin )and put the 2 files listed above in here (bysin.exe, CECompressv4.dll).
Now we got a workable environment! (creating such a folder structure for most hacks will make your life so much easier, hopefully it lets you keep from getting files confused with others, etc)
Step 2. Remove your Navigation DVD from your Accord and put it in your pc drive. In the root folder of the DVD, copy these six files to the files folder we created (c:\navi\files )
085JogAus.bin
085JogAus2.bin
A0000_00.MNG
DCA0.REG
PRG_INFO.MNG
UPDATE_APL.exe
So your folder will prob look like this:

Then copy the 085JogAus2.bin file to the bysin folder.(c:\navi\bysin )

Rename the Start-up Image which you have made to OpeningBase.bmp, you can view it in Internet Explorer to be sure it worked.
Because of the Australian Virson, the startup image (which is stored in the.bin file) is aslo made up of two other image.( the Honda logo, and the word Navi system)
Inorder to not let them show up, we need to download or make two black image to replace to original ones.
Honda_emblem.bmp (96x68) bitmap
Navi_title.bmp (290x16) bitmap
Place the three images to the bysin Folder.(c:\navi\bysin )

After you got all the files ready, we will now run the bysin.exe in Command Prompt to update (replace) the images inside 085JogAus2.bin with our custom image.
Type "cd\" to get to C:\>

Type "cd navi" enter and "cd bysin" enter to get to (c:\navi\bysin )

http://img380.imageshack.us/img380/05ga8.jpg/1/w675.png
Type "bysin 06AVN2.bin update OpeningBase.bmp OpeningBase.bmp" and hit enter. You will see a “Updating Opening1.bmp…” message. Once you get your command prompt back, update to rest of them.
Type "bysin 06AVN2.bin update Honda_emblem.bmp Honda_emblem.bmp" and hit enter.
Type "bysin 06AVN2.bin update Navi_Title.bmp Navi Title.bmp" and hit enter.

when it is done then we are off to burning our files to a cd/dvd!
Step 5. Burning files to a cd/dvd is our final software/pc part of this guide. I use Nero 6 as my burning program, just choose a new data disc and make its a DVD-ROM (ISO) or CD-ROM (ISO) and then just burn these five files from the original dvd (we put in the c:\navi\files folder)
085JogAus.bin
A0000_00.MNG
DCA0.REG
PRG_INFO.MNG
UPDATE_APL.exe
and the
085JogAus2.bin that we updated (located in the c:\navi\bysin folder)
Then just burn it!
Now turn the key to ACC and take the Burn Disc and insert it into the system inside the boot.
The following image is taken from a US. Civic, the screen message will be the same
Wait till your sat nav restarts, and it will come up with something like this.

Don't Panic!
now Press and hold MAP, MENU and CANCEL (the three button around the big knob) for about 5 seconds to get to the Diagnosis screen.
http://guicide.com/cars/2006civic/na...iagnostics.jpg
Press "Version"
http://guicide.com/cars/2006civic/na...%20version.jpg
Press "Download"
You'll see the following screen for about 45 seconds
http://guicide.com/cars/2006civic/na...ase%20wait.jpg
http://guicide.com/cars/2006civic/na...%20off%201.jpg
Now, to try your patience, watch this screen for 3 minutes
then the system will reboot and your own start up screen should come up. then just eject the burned disc and place the original DVD back into the machine.
If anything goes wrong, remove the ground to the
battery for 30 seconds with the origional DVD
in the car. The old OS will load back on the
system.
Finish Product (sorry about the quality, i'll take a better one as soon as i find my camera)
