OK, we're happy with the translations; now we need to understand the relevancy.....How about vendors at the (MacWorld-like) Teslive meet-up? You can see things like roof racks, parking sensors etc......

Thinking about the binary stuff...why is it centered? Has anyone tried flipping it vertically and seeing if it translates to anything that way? Or read the whole thing backwards?

Flipped vertically:

Cant see anything new but more eyes are always good :smile:
 
Bearman, I didn't see anything flipped vertically either. So I arranged them in a spiral to better reflect the ever downward spiral of this game:

Nope, still don't see anything.
 
It does look a lot like a huffman code. What do you get if you assume that the first five or six are the usual letter frequencies of "etaoins". I don't have the time or tools at the moment, or I'd try it myself...

I'm playing with this idea. I believe the "00" represents a space, since the frequency is too high at 18.7% for typical English letter frequency. Here's a quick stab using the usual letter frequencies (and assuming "00" is a space):

?E ?E???I ??A ???OOEO ??? ?? ?E? OA?A ?E? ??T ????AE ET ????O N ??E??? ?N?? T?ET ?N??EA ?? ?E? ?E? ?N? IET?E IETEAE? ??TI??E T??A ?? IEA ??N??ET ?EAI??T ?E EA ??T ?? ??AEI??? T?E ?E?AE ETT T??OOEA ??A ?? ??E??E ?E? ?EA? ???A ?E? ??A??OEA ?E? ??? O? ET ?EI??OTNT? ?? ET NTOEAEII?TO ??TT ?E? ???A?E N ?ET ?E??TNI?E IOENTI?A?O? ??A ON??N? ?? IE ?? ?EO ????EA ON? ?? ??N ET T?OON? ??????E?IE E??EA ET O?O?? ?N?I??? ?ET ?EO ?N? ???AE ??AI??O ??TIEOO? ?N? O? O?AET ON? ?NT ?EIOE??AI ?EIOEA ??NT??ET ?ETI ?? ?A?EN?EA ??? ?NT ??? OAE??IE ???T?

Assuming "00" is a space, then "N" cannot be a standalone letter, so it must either be "I" or "A", so some iteration is required. I'm trying to get at least the one, two and three letter words to read as English.

Yeah, I tend to agree that "00" is a space. For those of you that like cryptoquips, I've converted the (maybe) Huffman codes to letters & digits (b through z and 0 through 9), with instances of "00" replaced by spaces:
Code:
6b 2b7xnf xid rh0eebe uos jm pbm edjd pbm nic mpozdb bc rhqne g ntbhkw ygnn cjbc vghkbd it kbl 
pbm tgh fbckb fbcbdbw 1icfnpb cosd kq fbd xtghnbc tbdfpjc kb bd nic kq rjdbfhos cjb vbkdb bcc cozeebd

lbcf kq idvbgkbd uos kgc 829 edbrifb uhicw

In other words, if "00" are spaces, then the above is a simple substitution cipher where English words are already delimited by spaces, and there are 35 non-space characters in the dictionary (probably some uppercase and/or punctuation, and possibly some lowercase English letters not appearing, as stated up thread). And because I sorted the (maybe) Huffman codes by number of occurences before replacing, letters in the above closer to 'a' appear more often, and closer to '9' appear less often.

I started with that, but then it didn't come out to a number of chars evenly divisible by 8, which is what I was expecting, so I tried isolating the "words", as it were.
Random Trivia.... Its probably not related to this puzzle, but wanted to point out that Multics had a 9 bit word instead of 8 bits. Just knowing that makes me feel old.

It's not phonetic. It's Russian. Я немного говорю по русский :wink:
Here's my quick translation:
Dome (spoiler) roof
Parking sensors (two rear
Modification of the photon 1039:

But perhaps the last line should be interpreted as "modified photo no. 1039:"?
Lastly, I have no idea what this means.

I think that whole Russian truck parts page was a mistaken red-herring, and the binary is probably the real clue.

By the way, this is a Foton 1039 truck, made in China and sold in Russia:

One observation on your cryptoquip. The letter "w" above is most likely punctuation (let's assume a period for now). I suspect this because it is the last letter in the message, and all other w's are at the end of another word. They are also always followed by "rare" letters, implying those are the capital letters. So updated with the periods as punctuation it would now be:

Code:
6b 2b7xnf xid rh0eebe uos jm pbm edjd pbm nic mpozdb bc rhqne g ntbhk. ygnn cjbc vghkbd it kbl

If it is related, kudos to whomever used a cursive-like script where т looks like м, to throw us off.

As Russian is my first language, I can testify that Cyrillic 'm' is always read as a latin T. Cyrillic 'M', however, is just a regular M. It depends on whether the letter has curves or not. м = M, m = т = T

We can probably assume that this Russian image is unrelated.

After staring at this for a while I decided to go back to the beginning. The mushrooms might be kicking in, but here is what I think is unusual. A few of the original characters aren't dots but are little "pacman" type symbols. The others aren't dots, either. They look like some type of flowchart symbol. Very strange.
 
And maybe I'm giddy at my first day of driving my new S, but the appearance tonight reminds me of the Star Wars crawling text at the beginning of each movie (Space X reference?), although the menu image appears to have a central vanishing point:
