2012 P4 StartupImage USB xfer?

I actually have. I discovered the one thing i didn't follow was to close the console lid before transfer. after 10+ attempts closed the lid and away it went!

I used HAL9000!

 

Yup, a few days after I got my Four with solar roof package I loaded a picture of the space shuttle taking off, which I see every time I start my car now. I just followed the directions in the manual. Strange that it's not working for you.

 

I can't get images to transfer from either folder!

 

Hey guys, just got my first Prius today... Used : 2014 Prius V Five and I have been messing w/ everything! I found this info by reading and watching many articles and videos, and then some discovery of my own where the info wasn't detailed in those sources.

So, you have to have a separate folder for each (case sensitive) StartupImage and DisplayOffImage . I'm sure you've seen that everywhere... but what I didn't see, and is what I did for this to work for me, was to only have one folder on the flash drive at one time. With both folders on the flash drive, it would only recognize the StartupImage folder. When I removed that folder, and tried only the DisplayOffImage folder by itself, I was then able to upload the photos! Now, I've only used a couple of photos for each folder, but I read that the max is 6 for each, and not sure if that Toyota StartupImage default image is removeable, or if it takes up one of those supposed 6 available slots... however, I also learned that 885x530 is a good picture size... so I adjusted my photos, and they fit the screen great with an 885 size!

Also, my flashdrive is formatted FAT32, I haven't tried NTFS, but I read that NTFS doesn't work. I can't say that it doesn't.

I've also looked for a way to download Map updates, Gracenote (still not sure what that is), Entune (still learning), but that stuff seems to be where it needs to be? I wanted to install Entune 3.0 so I could try to use RemoteStart from my iPhone and AppleWatch. I found it cool that with the Entune app, with my Pandora logged into it, I would start up the car, and Pandora starts right up! I was also hoping to find a hack that would allow me to open just one moonroof at a time, if that's a thing.. not for any important reason... just so I can if I want to...

I was hoping to find that I could change the color of the button lights in the car but those stay green from what I see. I am partial to blue myself.

Anyone else have any tips? Having fun w/ this! I can't wait to see how much money I DON'T spend on gas this first month!!!

I am also open to suggestions for good phone holsters, I like magnetic, that don't get in the way. Roofrack would be nice, but with the moonroof, not sure if that's possible... looks like the whole roof is glass. I will also be searching for a trailerhitch, to carry the family's bikes, or rack for cooler or luggage.

What cool mods have you done?
