Changing the boaring display screen

kamesh · 08-17-2006, 01:38 PM

is it possible to change the display to show pictures/wallpaper? I am boared and get distracted with the consumption screen

I don't have the answer but I also would like to know...... thanks for the question!

I find I turn it off on regular occasion. It becomes a distraction.

That would be cool to do. I wonder why that no one has figured out how to do it...

You could always go whole hog and put in the Coastal eTech Lockpick... http://www.coastaletech.com/LOCKPICK_MAIN.htm

How about an electronic dictionary display.....

Seems to me that if it's boring you, you shouldn't be distracted by it...

Have you tried the energy monitor screen?

Or you could always just turn off the display...

Heckfire gang...We are ENCOURAGING this? Can you say, "drive the car and don't WATCH the MFD?" Hmmm? Mods are one thing...this is INSANITY.

We gonna give instructions next for how best to lay back the driver's seat to full incline, put your feet up, and watch the DVD player you have installed on the back of the passenger seat while the car is on the road and going, oh, say, the speed limit?

WTF???

If you are board (or even bored), don't be driving. Period. Stop. (Even full stop.) Pull over. Get a hotel room. Go for a walk. Fly a kite. Just get off the d**n road.

If, however, you insist on driving anyway, please tell me where you will be, so I can be sure to be elsewear (or perhaps elsewhere).

Heckuva maiden post, kamesh. Welcome to the loony bin.

(Oh yeah, and shouldn't this thread be under "mods?")
