Disable startup message?

[erikhy]

I'm sick of seeing the same "Drive Safely" startup message on the center screen when the key is turned. It is is basically useless and annoying. Does anyone have a way to make it go away or replace it with my own text? (I have a 2018 Offroad Premium.)

Thanks! - Erik

This. Replaced the splash screen with a photo of my dog and I in the snow so that my fiance has to see it every time she drives it:happy:

A bit of a thread revival but I can't find any other pertinent posts...

Has anyone figured out a way to disable that mommy start-up message on a 2020 (assuming it's different for other years)? Looks like the only thing that overrides it is the back-up camera and the volume is pretty much locked until the screen gives way to the regularly scheduled programming.

yeah, and it seems like you aren't able to change the boot up logo anymore on the 2020s

I'm still looking, but it seems like no more of these! 4Runner Startup/Display Off Images

I imagine the message is embedded in the BIOS, if BIOS is still a thing (51 y/o). lol
