Its not a feature at all. But I'm about to talk with Pioneer on getting it Animated. Just keeping it simple but making it look like something off of star trek, Like a systems check of the Eclipse, or Hull Integrity LOL. I'm a pioneer Person, and Sony has a deck out that you can connect to your computer or connect a usb card up to it and upload high quality animated files. Go to your local best buy and look at the most expencive Sony and you'll know what I mean, that pioneer thier is its contender, but it does not have a 32bit color display like the Sony, it has the Organic-EL display.
 
Ohh yea, I used a 3D Model to do that picture. I used to design aftermarket vehicles for a game called 4x4 Evolution 1 and 2. I found the Eclipse Model and just started playing around with it. Every picture on there is all photoshop work. The night view of the stereo is done by me on photoshop. I will keep on the look out for a 1G 3D Model, and if Pioneer will make this thought of mine a .EL program for that Deck, I'll have them do it for the 1st Gen's also. So Pray I find a 3D Model.
 
Sertain Pioneer or Sony decks can be linked to a laptop/computer or you can hook up a USB Card to them and upload images, the Pioneers dont accept pictures, they use .EL programs that you can download from Pioneer, I'm working on that for my Head Unit. I'm trying to get it clearly animated. If you have an Organic EL display on your Pioneer Deck, go Here!. Must have Shockwave installed to view previews of all the extra visualizations.
 
Here is a picture done by a friend of mine in the 3rd Gen Accord Era of his Coupe. Its kinda what I am doing with this but mine wont be a blue print.

Actualy, I'm making an animated picture and I'm going to have Pioneer's Organic EL people convert it to the right file for me to upload into my Head Unit, you have to have the PC Link for the unit.

I want every change in the frames to fade out then fade in. A friend of mine told me that I should have the car doing a showroom spin, but I don't think I am that talented. If I give the 3D model and textures to Pioneer, maybe they will be able to do it.
It might be hard to see the letters tho, since its going on a small screen, the screen on my head unit is the biggest one pioneer made on thier Non-TV screens. I might just make a 640x480 Animated display and load it onto my laptop since I'm going to install Pioneer LCD monitors inside each sun visor. Then just make something normal for the Pioneer Organic EL. If I knew 3DSM4.2 a little better I probably could easily make that video with the 3D Model.
