			If you use the VW/Seat/Skoda update, it will result in small logos with a thick border around them. This is due different resolution of the textures (160x120 vs 320x240).

	MHI2 US/JP/KR/CN to European ~~conversion~~.		A step-by-step tutorial for Harman MHI2 region conversion between US/JP/KR/CN and European firmware.

	# ~~Update~~ to ~~latest firmware supported by~~ More Incredible Bash~~, because we will~~ need to ~~use M~~.I.B. as ~~the conversion tool.~~		# Check your currently installed firmware. You you have a very old version, your unit might need firmware update first in order to have [[More Incredible Bash]] working. And you need it for this to work.
			# Make sure that power is stable:
			#* if working on bench, make sure that the 12V power supply can provide needed amperage
			#* if working in vehicle, make sure that the car is connected to external power source or the engine is running. Vehicle equipped with keyless system should have the fob close the the keyless antenna during the procedure.
			# Make sure that you know those:
			#* [[REM]] - Red Engineering Menu
			#* [[GEM]] - Green Engineering Menu
			#* [[SWDL]] - SoftWare Download
			#* [[FEC]] - Feature Enabling Code
			#* [[SWaP]] - SoftWare as a Product
