Good idea, NoDak.

Here's a few tips that aren't very clear or aren't mentioned in the user manual, and here's how I got this function to finally work every time.


1. I used an empty flash drive formatted in FAT32. Make sure to enable "view hidden files folders" on your computer, and delete everything except for a the folders named "StartupImage" and "DisplayOffImage"

2. In those folders, store whatever images you want, as long as their named with ANSI characters. Make sure you use capital letters in the file extensions, either .JPG or .JPEG are acceptable. You may need to change your view options to show file extensions in order to do this.

3. Plug it in, then turn on the vehicle. Go to Settings, General, Startup Image. At first it didn't connect, so I just kept tapping "transfer", and eventually it connected and allowed me to upload the images. It took a couple minutes, be patient. Approve the overwrite, and you'll be good to go.

4. The native resolution of the screen is 800x480. I sized each image accordingly, and they scaled perfectly.
