Lexus 3IS: How to Change Startup Screen Image
If you're fed up with your car's existing image and want to change it, you'll be relieved to know that you can upload a new image in just a few simple steps.
This article applies to the Lexus IS (2014-2015).
Whether it's a dealership's name and image or a boring stock photo, many Lexus owners prefer to add a personal touch to their car's navigation system by uploading a photo of choice. Here's an overview of how to get your own photo onto the startup screen.
Materials Needed
- USB stick
- Desired image(s)
Step 1 - Set up the file directory
Setting up the file directory shouldn't take more than a minute, but it's crucial to make sure you're doing it correctly. Create a directory titled "Image" on the USB stick. To successfully upload the photo on a pre-2014 Lexus, it's important to only name the file "StartupImage" with a capital "I." For the 2014-2015 Lexus IS, name the file "Image."
Step 2 - Place your desired file in the image directory
Select the image you want to upload. Save the image as a ".JPG" or ".JPEG" file in the directory you created in Step 1. Then, put the USB stick into the car's USB port, which is situated in the vehicle's center console armrest cubby.
Pro Tips
- Files cannot be larger than 10MB.
- The file names cannot be longer than 32 characters, including the JPEG or JPG extension and period.
Step 3 - Set up the system
Using the navigation system screen, start by clicking on "menu" near the mouse, followed by "setup," and then "general settings." Finally, click on "customize images."
Step 4 - Add the image
Once you've set up the screen, select "copy from USB" and wait for the image to copy. As soon as the picture appears, choose "set images" and click on the photo you'd prefer to use.
Step 5 - Select desired options
Select any option you prefer, such as "set as both." After choosing your desired options, try turning the vehicle off and then back on to ensure that the changes are successfully completed.
