    How many of you have actually read through the owners manual? Is there any cool thing you learned about your Taco.

    It's been my poop-time reading for the last couple days. I just learned you can change the start up and display off photos. As a photographer, this is probably one of my favorite feature.

    I setup two of my photos I took. One is of Mesquite Dunes in Death Valley and the other is of sunset on the westside of Oahu.

    I don't think that will work. It looks for the photos I specific folder names in the root directory of the USB drive. I could be wrong though.

    Ok... So something I don't see in the manual. Is there any way to increase the time the start-up screen is displayed?

    Nice shots, Alex. DVNP is one of my favorite haunts, too. This is my startup screen. Like you said, it’s just a flash, and makes passengers curious when they see it:

    Thanks man. That start-up image is super cool. Haha. I bet it gets people wondering if they just saw what they think they saw. Lol

    By the way, I share photos I take during my travels on Instagram. Shameless plug of my Instagram feed. Love you guys to follow me if you choose: @alexsotelophotography

    PS... Sharing the shot of the DVNP for anyone that wants to use it for their Entune image or puter wallpaper.

    I can't envision buying a $36,000 piece of machinery and not reading the manual. Bigly.
