ONLY USE IT AS A REFERENCE. ALL QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS REGARDING THE INFOTAINMENT PROJECT SHOULD BE POSTED HERE.

----------------------------------------

So, the Infotainment system is great, but it has me thinking how much greater it could be. There's so much potential wasted right now, and I would like to untap some of that.

The original post: http://mazda3revolution.com/forums/...-infotainment-system-software-components.html.
This got me thinking. This is obviously a linux-based OS running on an ARM chip. This was seen on this post as well: http://mazda3revolution.com/forums/...-accessing-infotainment-diagnostics-menu.html

I'm a software engineer, but don't have any experience dealing with low-level linux based systems. I would love to be able to either install custom, modified linux operating systems in the car or just be able to alter parts of the system to enable hidden or disabled parts of the system.

For instance, every european market has the ability to buy connected services (live traffic, weather, etc), and the Japanese market even can play DVD's and watch live TV!

This may at least give us the ability to upgrade our own systems without visiting the dealer, or use other applications through our phones such as Waze.

What I think may help here is getting the update code dump. This would be solved easiest if someone knows a dealer that can get the update software on a USB stick. If someone could upload that somewhere, we could then start analyzing the update procedure and the software and hopefully fine some way to hijack onto that process.

You need to create a script (tweaks.sh) with the following inside it:

#! /Bin/sh
/jci/scripts/set_display_config.sh visteon
reboot

good luck

In my CMU it worked
Display toggle visteon/jci

Hey, all. I am thinking that I should be able to find this somewhere, but I am striking out. I accidentally hit the Display Toggle when I went in to disable the speed control settings on my 2016.5 CX-5 in the JCI script settings, I think. I immediately hit it again in an effort to toggle back to the setting it was on, but after turning off the car and coming back to it, my infotainment screen won't come on. I hear the radio, and I can mute it, but the screen doesn't come on.

So....long story short:

I HIT THE DISPLAY TOGGLE AND NOW MY SCREEN IS BLACK...HELP?
