Default Anyone make any good backgrounds for the upgraded audio?

I was wondering if anyone made any cool or knows where to download any nice backgrounds for the upgraded 2008 pioneer head unit? Apparently, you can download or create your own backgrounds, burn them to a disc, then use them as the background or movie or whatnot instead of what comes loaded on it.

The website (listed in the manual for the h/u) has some on it, but none are really that nice.

Ideas?

I have a Pioneer AVIC-D2 - there is a sort of hack where you can burn them to the DVDs and use backgrounds. I wonder if the format is the same... I'd LOVE to have something nice for mine!

Those look like single DIN sizes - is that what the upgraded stereo screen looks like in the tC? I thought it was more of a double DIN - I know that's what my AVIC-D2 is.

The stereo is double DIN but the display is not as large.

Funny thing is I was sitting at a traffic light yesterday wondering if there were any displays for this stereo online . . .

Pioneer has the application you can download from above that lets you make your own screens from pictures that you take/make.

Yeah stationary pictures are nice and all but you can put moving images on it like the raindrops or the other weird one that it comes with stock. I can't figure out how to make them or where to find them though.

i have made some. its the same program and size specs as the regular pioneer HU use.

i formated some random scion comercial videos and images for a friend and he was able to upload them fine. the video format they use is .MP4 i beleive.

its limited to only one 8 second video at a time though, you can choose what timespan you wanna use in the program.
