Have a play
It was back in the spring when I last tried franks app and on my old 4:3 screen I could send stuff to the screen as expected then I tried it with my 16:9 and got some odd results probably finger trouble though. almost as if the 16:9 screen was on a different address which it can't be.

If you are keen on giving this a go I will go and redo my experiments so I can refresh my findings as I have forgotten how far I got.

You can start by simply firing off time and date commands using Franks app as that is the easiest way to establish for sure what will appear where on the screen that will also verify the PDF file, something in the back of my mind says either that or the app was wrong somewhere.

If you go back through my posts on BmwNav and hack the Ibus you should also find a few replies mentioned a BMW Radio clock module that took time from the radio aerial and used that to update the IKE obviously no use to our cars IKE but its broadcast could be trapped to update any RTC module.
