Customizing the Start Up & Display Off Image on 13+ LS460s
Here's some info for anyone who is interested in this feature or has already customized their screen. I think it's a pretty cool way to personalize your LS and is nice touch upon start up and to display an image while driving when using the data in the window isn't a necessity.
***I will update this initial post with any relevant info. so we can keep it in one place. I got some info. over on the GS thread but given the 13+ have a slightly bigger screen and different details I wanted to share it here.
First off what the instructions don't say is you must use a USB memory stick that is formatted from a PC. The Lexus HD will not recognize anything formatted on a Mac. I formatted mine with FAT32. I also only used 2 folders named EXACTLY "StartupImage" and "DisplayoffImage". It is case sensitive. You can only load 3 images (.jpg / .jpeg file format) per folder so only load the 3 / 6 total. Simply insert this correctly formatted USB drive into the port in your center console and open the menu on the main screen. Go to General Settings and then select "Customize Startup Image" on the second page down. Select "transfer" then choose your favorite image. In my experience the start up image will only flash for a second upon start up after the Lexus & "L" logo and this lasts a total of 5 seconds on every start up.The Display Off Image will be prominently displayed whenever you choose to have the display off (when you're not using navigation etc.) The image will only populate in the center of the display so you may choose to create any size image but keep in mind you may or may not see black bars at the top and bottom of your image depending on the image created and selected.

you only get a quick startup image for mow. is it just me or does that screen seem a little small for a 14MY LS??
or is it just the pic? yes, apple images wont work and also certain other types of images it wont work, but normal jPEG images should be fine.
you can also use a usb flash stick for audio. and watch DVDs but the car has to be in park, with the parking brake applied. ive been trying to figure out a workaround for that
