So how exactly do I display the "Wallpaper"?

This is probably stupid, but i looked around on the screen to find the options.

Anyways you have the option to change the wallpaper...but how do I actually even show the wallpaper? What do I do?

I mean theirs never really a blank screen on the 7 inch display? So how do I even show it?

Thanks!

(EX btw).

Try this, using the touchscreen touch Home, Info, then menu, then the clock/wallpaper option is on the screen. This is another nice feature of the fit!

You would have to use the info screen that just shows the clock if it could do more then that it would be nice

I still can't figure out why when you shut the radio off it doesn't default to that screen. Why do we get a big ugly "Audio is off" message? Why do I need to hit 4 buttons to get to the time/ wallpaper?

I obviously have not read up on the manual. We got a MT6 in white a few weeks back. Great car, very functional. So, you can you upload any image to use as a wallpaper on the touchscreen? Am I reading that correctly?

I figure out if you change the info screen options it will be easier to to get to the clock/wallpaper. I had it set on "top menu" and it was impossible to get to. There's 2 other options, one ONLY displays the wallpaper which would be ok if you don't want to look at any of the other info options ever. The other menu option i can't remember the name of is easy to get to the clock with and it remembers the last one you touched on the menu and defaults to it if you just press "info" and leave it alone.

you have to change this stuff in the settings.

My display will show whatever screen I had on when I last shut the car off. It is easy to switch between the wallpaper/clock screen and trip computer screen by touching the menu button. You can easily make your own wallpaper by loading an image to a flash drive and using the usb port.

That is great. I will try this tonight. Do anyone know if there is a pixel spec for the background image?

The manual has it...
When importing wallpaper files, the image must be
in the USB flash drive’s root directory. Images in a
folder cannot be imported.
- The file name must be fewer than 256 characters.
- The file format of the image that can be imported
is BMP (bmp) or JPEG (jpg).
- The individual file size limit is 5 MB.
- The maximum image size is 4,096 x 4,096 pixels. If
the image size is less than 800 × 480 pixels, the
image is displayed in the middle of the screen with
the extra area appearing in black.
- Up to 5 files can be selected.
- If the USB flash drive does not have any pictures,
the No files detected message appears

i-MID Wallpapers

pretty decent site, used them on my previous 2014 civic (before an idiot totaled it). By the way I figured it out. Im so dumb, I was using the "home" button searching for it. totally forgot about the Menu button haah.
