This was very helpful. I'm running a picture of my wife and kids ... a quick reminder to keep if safe. But I also saved an 8-bit mega man and some Mario Kart fan art. Thanks again CL

What mount are you using? Where is it held on? Is it good for curvy roads?

I'm certain someone else out there has had this idea, but it's what I'm going with for now!

I might have missed it but what's the optimal size or resolution for the startup image?

Edit: 1600x900 the optimal one?

How do you do this and what resolution should the image be?

1. Create a directory called "Image" on a USB stick.
2. Place a .jpg file in the Image directory.
3. Put USB stick into the USB port in the center console armrest cubby.
4. Click Menu by the mouse
5. Click Setup
6. Click General Settings
7. Click Customize Images
8: Click Copy from USB and wait for it to copy
9. Click Set Images
10: Click the image you'd like to use
11. Click the option you want, such as Set As Both.
12. Turn your car off and back on and it should be there.

Hope this helps.
I still have not found the resolution question answered. . .
