I was able to copy my data.zip file from my heady.
I ended up editing the daycar.bmp and nightcar.bmp.
After coping the new data.zip file back over to the heady and restarting it.
At boot up it says error loading "loading.bmp". Any ideas why this is so?
First thing's first is to restore your unit back to normal if you're getting an error message, then discuss what went wrong.

Already did, I put the original data.zip back in place and error disappeared.
Do you use a mac or a PC? there's been some members who have had problems with using a mac to edit .bmp's
Yup I'm a mac.
Also who's loading.bmp is a chicks A** mine came stock like this.
can you attach the .bmp? I'll save it in paint here and reattach it, and you can try using that
when i try to attach it says "The Extension bmp is not allowed"
?? no file..
when i try to attach it says "The Extension bmp is not allowed"
put it in a .zip file then send it over. .bmp's are unable to attach.
Its attached
Let me know if these work.
Thanx bro.
I also noticed my loading.bmp is a chicks A** under the data.zip.
Mine came stock like this.
Are yall's like this?
Yep, there was actually a whole thread on it. Pioneer kthrew it in the first update.
That was nice of them!
So what the difference in making .bmp on a mac or pc in photoshop?
Idk much about why, but I remember there being a problem with the DPI, which I'm going to guess means dots per inch, that it automaticcly went from like 96 to 72, or vice versa. Not exactly sure.
I also tried the software bypass with my mac and when I changed my # to 128.0 and rebooted. The box that says "navigation system is starting up" stays up and never goes away. Any ideas on this situation?
well The thing does run on Windows so I guess any mods done by a Mac may confuse it. Not sure, as I'm almost computer illiterate 
Alrighty, I'll just use my handy VMWare Software and boot up windows on my mac for future mods. It's so nice to be able to run both OS's on one computer.
Thanks for all the HELP CatchMeIfYouCan631, I really appreciate it.
I'll let you kno if it works once I get home.
Still doesn't work, the edited day/nightcar.bmp doesn't show up neither does the software bypass work. But the deleted blue box's on the map did work.
Any ideas?
Can anyone help me out, can someone please upload the original 1.001700 version data.zip for the F90BT. I accidentally formatted my SD card and lost my backup. After I uploaded the modded version my unit keeps rebooting. I would like to restore it if at all possible. Thanks for any help.
