I've been trying to change the opening image on the NAV from the Lexus to logo to a custom one
but I had no luck

what i have done so far

New USB Fat 32 and fat 16

created a folder (Case Sensitive) : StartupImage
put couple of pictures (4 or 5) in it
2 of them less than 32 characters
2 of them exactly 32 characters (not counting extension)

saved as JPEG and JPG

files less than 5 mb each

and still no luck ,, it says could not find any pictures

Lexus RX 350 Panorama 2013

got any advice how to proceed?

thanks

I just brought my 2104 home yesterday and have not tried changing the screen image yet, but I did find out that there are some USB drives it won't read.
I loaded up some mp3 audio on a 4GB stick to try out on the test drive; and it worked great. So last night I downloaded a bunch of music to a larger (32GB) drive, and the RX would not recognize the drive (but the home computer is fine with it).

So possibly there is a size limitation to the USB drive that can be used.

i have been able to get this to work, before you waste a lot more time, the time the image is displayed on startup is very brief. I was able to load the shutoff image but have never seen it on the NAV Screen.

This is the thumb drive I used. It has lots of music and the two Lexus image folders:


A video of the NAV System startup including our custom image is here.

We enjoy seeing the photo of our daughter and granddaughter but the time the image shows is brief.

Have you read the manual pages?

khaled7cs

Yes i have

Thank you !!

i followed your pictures even the name of the files and it worked !!!!

The only thing i noticed different was the allocation size, i set it to 32 kb and it worked like a charm

thank you sooooo much...

I can compile a quick guide here

1-format USB using FAT 32 and allocation size of 32 kilobytes

2- Make 2 folders in the USB (StartupImage & DisplayOffImage) * Case sensitive

3- Open your picture using MsPaint on windows

4- Save as and type the name for example (123456789.jpg) make sure you include (.jpg)

5- copy the image to both folders

6- eject USB

7- Start your car

8- Insert USB

9 - Menu - setup - Change opening Screen - Transfer (now you get your photo on the list and chose it)

10- Menu - setup - Change Screen off image - Transfer (now you get your photo on the list and you chose it)

now when you start your car will be greeted with lexus logo then the image for quick 1-2 seconds...


--- hit menu -- click display (top right corner) -- chose screen off .. not you get your image always displayed on the screen


Thank you everyone for your help and i hope we have put an end to this question finally

I just did my Image swap last night. I changed the DisplayOffImage. It worked as described above.
Now I need to see if this DisplayOff image will just stay on the screen forever (until I hit "Display Off" button) or if it times out after a while and goes to a blank screen. I only tested for about 15 minutes last night while I was exploring other featurers.

Quick question, does this set up only applies to the MMC RX or can it be done on the 10-12 RX 350?

Thanks

What's the screen resolution? Are images scaled to fit?

very cool way to personalize.....

Screen off stayed on all time never went to blank, at least for the driving time I've done

No idea but I don't see why not

As for my images it was scaled down without messing with ratio of the picture so I got black bar on top and bottom

Indeed it is
