Display Mod 2010-2012

[DJE624]

I have been wanting to mod my display ever since I saw this:



Here is a tutorial on how to do it.

How to Upload Custom Images on Ford Sync Lincoln Mercury

Voila!

Looks good; how come it shows wallpaper twice?

Is that just how it works?

2012 have split screen.  I could put a map on half and Logo on other half or Logo on half and Audio on the other side.  Or other combinations.  You can do a full screen of map too.

OH cool --

We use to have screen modes too when MFT first came out; then the very first update to it they took away our ability to just have a wallpaper without all the buttons you seen in each quadrant. I wish they'd put that back--I had a really cool wallpaper in my Ford Focus that didn't work well with buttons.

I wish I could just fill the whole screen with it.  I'll be investigating a way.  If the Map can do full screen it should be possible. 

I thought about cutting the jpeg in half and putting 1/2 on each side.  I'll try it sometime.

Can you put different photos on each block?

 

[DJE624]

Yes.  But it would have a line through the center of it.

Try these;

Thanks man.  I have to run out and get a cd tomorrow.  I borrowed one from my sister when I was there today.  I have a mini usb drive I use but this operation requires cd.  The 13's can be done with the drive. 

 

[geswek]

Oh damn that sucks.

Yeah I change mine with a USB stick LOL--it also plays MP3's nicely from there too, or my iPod, or even my phone.

Thanks for the image, will use it once the SHO gets out of the shop.

 

[DJE624]

I went over and got the disc from my sister.  Now, I try to load the two images and the dang thing is locked!  Maybe because it was on a Mac and I have Windows.  Ticks me off.  Well, I have to go back there tomorrow or Tuesday and get my appliques. 

 

[DJE624]

OK!  Got it done.  It was a bit of a pain.  Had to run out to Best Buy and get some CD's.  Five pack of CD-r for $7.  Then When I was trying to load the right side, the original small logo kept coming back.  So, I deleted it.  Then I was able to load the right side.  Many thanks to GESWEK for splitting the picture for me.  I think it looks better like this because I'll usually have the Logo picture as display or full map as display.







Now, that I have it down,  I can put whatever pictures I want there! 

 

[dalum]

Kind of a pain, you should just buy a new car

 

[geswek]

No kidding.

I'm glad I don't have that horrendous navigation system--I love my MFT.

:bangin:

The 2010-2012 epitomizes the rawness of the 1989 SHO.  The 2013-2014 are more like the '92-'95.

 

[SoCalSHO]

Thanks Dave and Storm. Just did this to mine also.

 

[DJE624]

Great!  I love mine.
