Don't know why it's upside down, as it's downloading it is right side up. But you get the idea

Oh man, this mod sounds totally awesome. Can't wait to put some custom....

 

just saw this post,, i tried this on my 2015 pro,, i get to the transfer part and i get cant access usb device,, have tried everything,, anyone

 

I had the same issue and had to reformat my USB to fat32 since it was ntsf

 

thanks man it worked after formatting to fat32, put a picture of our border collie who's days are numbered due to CHF, but he is hanging in there,, thanks again

 

Worked for me after naming the file folders exactly like you guys said. I'll post pics later. What a fun mod!

 

Haha my feelings exactly!!
The curse of the '13

Why don't we at least have the option to see the startup screen anytime:


....instead of this crap:


I mean, the image is already in there, shouldn't it be possible to display that image, not just at startup?

.

 

Worked perfectly for my brand new 2015. The directions on how to do it was even in the owners manual.

 

to keep with the "Storm Trooper" Theme

Startup and Screen off Images

 

So, I almost feel silly asking this as this seems to be the first and most important question... k

What is the image size?

 

i used 640x480... or close to it,,i think only 2 of mine worked, so i had to make the 3rd pic a little smaller..also had to format stick to fat32 to work

 

Yeah, I hate that screen. It's completely worthless, and to turn it off you have to go like 3-deep in the menu. Every. Time.

I found to make that head unit tolerable I had to lower the screen brightness to almost zero. Still readable in the day, and not nearly as annoying at night.

 

native resolution i belive is 800x480 so its a bit off compared to wide screen sizes. i just left as is and never changed and it filled accordingly with bars on the side i may mess around with resolution of pics next so it fills exactly

This is making me insane. I am using FAT32 on my USB drive, file names are StartupImage and DisplayOffImage, three files in each folder, all JPEGs, all short file names. I've tried several pics, several sizes, and I keep getting a message that there are no files in the folders when I plug it into the truck. What am I doing wrong?

 

Try making the pictures less than 50 kb each. I had the exact same issue.

 

For my startup screen I used semoak's original (post #100 in this thread), upsized it to 1280 x 720 and added a few things, like the red TRD and added a gradient background and drop shadows. Looks pretty good. I used my pooch for the audio off screen.



I don't have flash so the dash and HU aren't showing up but you get the idea. Nice little mod for 14 and up models! I know people in this thread have suggested 50K and below file size, but the TRD one above is 60K and the one of my dog is 315K and they uploaded fine.
