Start Screen Image

Hello -

Joined the forums about a month ago - today is my one month-iversary of owning a 2015 GS F-Sport. (black/black)

I finally changed the startup screen away from the default mpeg showing the dealership info. However, I would like to load a custom image.

I thought from reading the manual that I could simply plug in my iPhone and the image library would populate but no-go.

Do I need to transfer images to an SD card in a camera and connect the camera through USB?

Thanks,

the thumb drive can be any size up to 64/128gb

formatted Fat32 (NTFS will not work)

.jpg format(s)

startup images have to go into a folder named "StartupImage"

display off images have to go into a folder named "DisplayOffImage"

you can upload up to 3 images per folder and rotate between 4 images uploaded (3 personal, 1 factory default)

Also make sure:

The word Image is capitalized
No special characters in file name, i.e. start-up_image.jpg or startup.image.jpg
Using alphanumeric characters, files can be named whatever, i.e. FLogo1280.jpg
The folders are in the root directory of the drive, i.e. when you open the drive the folders appear in the initial list
If you're using a mac, empty Trash before ejecting drive
If using a mac and Trash didn't work:
- close all Finder windows
- open Terminal
- type
  Code:
```
cd /Volumes/name_of_your_drive
dot_clean .
```
- close Terminal
- open Disk Utility
- right click your drive and select "eject"
