Default Skoda MFD = Hens teeth

Hi folks, does any one know if its possible to re-flash the firmware on a VW MFD so that it shows the Skoda logo on start-up ? I'm thinking of getting one for my fabia vrs but the vw ones seem much more plentiful and cheaper.

regards, rob

It may be worth messaging some of the sellers on eBay to see if they have one.
