^ That's a pretty cool program, for the POI creator, and maybe the ability to upload and view the GPS logging data.
But the splash screen creation function is pretty useless, because you can do that without the program, all you need is to put an 800x480 picture on an SD card or USB stick and load it into the unit.. And the settings replicator isn't all that useful unless you have multiple units so you only have to set up one of them and copy the settings to other units.
Although I can't seem to actually find the download for the program on Pioneer's website... maybe they haven't put it out yet?

Nope. There are no backgrounds at all, the unit doesn't even use a background, besides the splash (startup) screen. For everything else, the background is part of the GUI and is always just black.
But honestly, would you even want any kind of other background besides the black? The screen is hard enough to see in the first place.

AVIC Feeds - is it out yet? I was trying to look around for it, and I'm just not seeing a download link anywhere on the page linked.
