Default Kenwood DNX890HD custom screen

Is there a thread anywhere on how to get a custom background on my kenwood dnx890 double din screen like the ones I see in many interior pics here on the forum. I would love to get rid of that Kenwood garmin screen.

Your gonna love it! It's so nice to have bluetooth, Navigation and back up camera now. I used the logo generator mentioned on a another thread and set it to generate a logo for the Samsung Tab 2 (7" screen) in landscape and it worked perfect for the wall paper and couldn't have been easier to do. Here is the link to that generator which another CF member created http://solidlystated.com/design/corv...per-generator/

I ended up using the C6 logo because i liked the corvette script under it that wasn't an available option with the C5 logo

Although I have had my problems with Kenwood, my unit is still working and sounds good. There are things I wish were better but so far it is still working and I am thankful for that. I can honestly say that I will not be buying any brand head unit again. I am still looking for the Ipad install that will charge itself, have better audio control or even steering wheel control, and can be easily removed and used by a passenger while riding and listening to music. If Apple or anyone else ever figures out how to get the unit to mesh with the cars audio controls I think the days of car audio head units are numbered. I've seen a lot of attempts at this at my local shop and youtube. Its getting closer every month. I hope my Kenwood holds on a little longer.
