Silverknight Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 I'll ask this on the Ford Edge forum as well, but has anyone had any luck adding wallpaper images? I've tried all the approved file type and in the exact size recommended (and others--smaller and larger). I get an error message saying the image is not formatted properly. I'm using USB to load (USB works fine as it sees the files--and plays music). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FAT32 and NFTS do not work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put some pictures on the thumb drive and tried to download to my usb and too no luck, stating that it does not support. Can anyone assist????

Thanks Meagan The numbers are the dimensions or "resolution" of the picture. It is measured in pixels. Image editing software measures things in pixels. If you are on Windows 7, it has the new version of Paint and it has the pixels at the bottom. Just resize and crop your picture to the right resolution. PNG is the file type. When you're done cropping, just save it as a JPG or PNG. Also, speaking generally now, I just updated to 2.11 and it seems to be having NO problems displaying pictures I had trouble with on 2.8.

venturesum Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 When I tried this on my F250 Truck, it would not load the images from the USB drive. The photos had to be written to a CD and loaded through the CD player. Of course, they had to be in JPG format and under the max size limit.
