My wife has a 2016 Lexus ES350 Ultra. I was able to upload a family pic to it so that when ever starting, the pic displays on the infotainment screen for about 5 seconds. You can also set it to display when you turn the display off. Do you know if the 2025 has this feature? I would like to set it up when I get my new ultra.

Thanks for any help

According to bc6152's New Start Up Video Availability? post #2 that feature was discontinued in 2018 (i.e., this generation of ES).

If I had to guess, some people were installing some 'X rated' pics on the cars, and Lexus got wind of it, and decided it was not becoming to the 'Corporate Image'.

That's disgusting to even consider.

Every family picture is different...... Some are more different than others?

I made a nice startup image for my RC350, and it was great fun for 9 years or so. Now I have an ES350 UL and that feature is not available, which is a shame.

As GRP52 states above, 2018 was the last year for this beloved feature. No reason given or explained, just disappeared.

We had a nice photo of a Sunset that came on when the car was shut off.

As a dealer we had a situation when we would do a dealer trade and get a car from
another store. They had instructed their technicians to program a screen shot of
the stores stylized name into the startup screen. Now when we would fire up this
car for a test drive... Easy enough to delete, our managers didn't want to replicate
the effort, however.
