KoTiX S160 ROM UNLOCK INSTRUCTIONS

To avoid sharing of my hard work, i added a security check in the ROM.

To unlock the security check in my ROM please provide me your unit model number (M***).

To know it simply go in Settings->System information screen on your unit.

In the picture you can see it’s a M171 model.

Once you tell me your model number i'll send you a file with the unclock code that you will need to add in the folder WINCACFG on sdcard before flashing the rom.

If you try to run the rom without the unlock file or with the wrong code you will see a picture like this:

S160 KoTiX ROM (05.04.17) - New "TUNE" skin!!

With the help of my friend Alper, a new skin has been developed for S160 Roadnav head units and it's now ready for public.
I kept the name he gave to the skin "Tune" and I helped him completing it and fixing many bugs in the skin engine, allowing now a more complete switch of the icons and graphic between the skins.
So here is the TUNE skin:

As you can see there is a new PowerButton that put the unit in a semi sleep mode.
The icons in audilauncher are now 8 and they have been re-ordered in a more convenient way (maybe in a future i'll be able to make them selectable...)
The car model Logo right now is not visible, i'll try to make it selectable later on.

All icons in main launcher switch according to the skin used .
There is a new player widget too.

Also the graphic in the audio player now switch correctly.

As you can see from the last radio screens, i have changed also the stations list layout showing the frequency and the RDS name of the station and in the bookmarks buttons now you can choose to show the Station name (in 2 lines, not as scrolling text) or the frequency.
This is a new option in the KoTiX mods menu in settings and need a reboot to be applied.

This is the main changelog since 17/01 rom version, in evidence other mods that has been added:
05.04.2017 - Added January 2017 new type 0 mcu file
31.03.1017 - Digital clock III is now default clock widget
