Thanks for this. The unpublished dealer screen press sequence is temperamental on the DNX-575s with latest firmware - it seems to work after 5 to 6 tries. A bit frustrating, but the result was well worth it. New question - what's in the Parameters Customize menu, and what does the necessary text file look like? Could that be where the infamous "press Agree" button lives?
I have a DDX394 model I get to thru screen that allows you to change image and it says ok but the picture when it turns back on is upside down and backwards and doesn't cover the entire screen , I used photoshop 800 x 480 16 bit set rgb 565 but still faded upside down and some times a double picture blurred and not covering screen, i did this a long time ago with the ford logo when it was in my wife expedition and it worked perfect but can't get a Buick logo to work now for my project car I pit this radio in! Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated !
Did this on a DNX576S; same procedures and worked! I'm curious why the screen shows for a few seconds, then goes black, then I see the 'agree and continue' screen. Any thoughts on how to retain the customized image from boot up until the agree page? Some people have been asking about "NG" while loading. I saw this when I attempted to use a JPG and not a BMP. I went back in and modified the image from JPG to the proper dimension BMP and it gave me the blue OK screen. I've seen a number of other posts asking how to get the factory kenwood screen back.

I have the new DMX4707S (2020 version). One thing I noticed is that you now need to do the left top corner and the right top corner as oppose to left top and left bottom, in order to get into the service menu. However, the opening customize button does not do anything. I would assume they changed the version number for this. Do you possibly know the new version number?
Followed you inst to the tee. Hooked up usb and connected to unit. BOOM! went thru some action without me tapping the top and bottom. Found Image in the wallpaper. You are working with DNX574-5 and mine is DNX577S. Don't know if my model can accept boot screen and wonder what version "9876" suggests. What to do?
I have the dnx574s the touch is messed up, I keep trying to be calibrated but it still seems messed up., Turns out it was my ouch screen glass needed replaced
I was able to install my custom boot but I would like to replace it with a better picture. Is it possible to install a new boot screen and if so does the version or script need to be changed thank you
Great info and thank you for sharing. Did you ever figured out on how to customize the appearance of the Podcasts when plugged in. i.e. - how to drag and move the play status bar (like in OEM Apple Car Play) or any other cool updates?
Thank you. I just purchased the Kenwood DDX8906S - do you have a procedure that works for that unit. I can get to the menu via the button pushes, but I get an orange screen and the text “NG” - possibly need a different version number in the .txt file or a different image1 format? Thank you.

Hi would it be possible for you to make an image for a Chevy logo i’ve tried I just cannot seem to get it not that tech Savvy if so I would greatly appreciate it
I have a ddx 6705s and the whole radio doesn't come on all the time when it's cold outside ....argh! I have to restart the car and sometimes it will come on, they told me the first thing is to try is a firmware upgrade so there was one and I put it on a thumb-drive but where is the usb port? I see you plugging into the rear of the unit, do I have to take the stereo out of the car ? It was professionally installed but I bought the car from someone.
If the extension cables to your rear USB ports not available in Glow box, you have to take the stereo out and install the USB extension cable one side male and the other side female connector. This will allow you to use USB devices with your stereo later without taking it out.
I did it on my DDX9703S but when the image first comes up, it’s partially reversed and then 2 seconds later it shows the right way for about a second or so.... how would I fix this?
I have a question. I have a DMX906S and a log res image comes up briefly and then a good high res image comes up. Any idea on how to get the low image from coming up? Thanks
Anyone else having the “ng” red screen show up, this was the solution I found for the DMX906s… Using Photoshop (free 7 day trial version) I uploaded a 800X480 image, clicked SAVE AS then I chose BMP on the dropdown Format, then SAVE, then click ADVANCED MODES and choose 16bit R5 G6 B5 and then click OK. Viola! It finally worked for me.
You might have to do it a few times before it will work. I think the first time it took me 10 tries before it went through. After that it worked fine. Try going 1-2 pause a sec 1-2 pause 1 pause 1.
open NOTEPAD software in your windows computer and copy and paste the small script below and save it by giving the file name OpeningCustomize. Since default file type is .txt already selected, that file save as .txt file
Hi! Tap 2 left top corner, 2 right top corner, 1 left top, 1 right top, in STANDBY mode. It gets the sub-menu "CUSTOMIZE" but I tried with the text and image1.bmp, with no luck. There's a blue screen with "NG" and cannot change the splash screen. I do not know what's wrong......
