FORD technical service bulletin : ICC touch screen display

No, unfortunately. That part of the update process is in the read-only boot partition, not the update-able 2nd partition for packages. Strangely, the main update script can have an override in the 2nd read/write partition.. but to fix this problem you would need to rebuild the QNX ipl/spl system.

I can see one good thing about this, and that's when these devices were first built, the bad units get chucked in the bin... Except, those resourceful Chinese "chexkers" (did you see the photos of the FDIM stickers?) might just plug into the debug port to get the useless units working to the Aus. standards by fixing files by hand.

I say Aus. standards, only based on the comments in the scripts, which are generally better than what I see in other foreign source code I see in my day job.

Dang. Thought it might allow for some "preventative maintenance". In any case I am tempted to follow your instructions and see if I can't create/copy my own theme to the unit. Just not sure if I possess the fine soldering skills
