Kenwood DNX 690HD error message when changing splash screen
I just installed a Kenwood DNX690HD, its a new model not even listed on Kenwood's site. it just came out in Jan 2013. I want to change the splash screen to something more C5ish. I've followed instructions from former models: size 800 X 480, saved as a 16 bit BMP using R5,G6,B5 and saved to a flash drive.
I used the Hold menu + Tel and then press the reset button. the unit shut off and then rebooted to the add a image screen where the Kenwood splash screen image resides. I pressed the OEM line and it brought up the bmp thumb nail and a blank thumbnail from my flash drive. I selected the visual thumbnail and it placed the file name on a line and then selected enter... it started to write because it said writing.. then after 2 seconds it said error. I've been doing this all day..
New flash drive.
I've tried about 6 different bmp files, and all show error. I'm thinking this New unit might have a different format. I used two different flash drive both were different manufacturers, and both were new.
Thank for any thoughts.. Kenwood is no help at this point. Dennis is also trying to debug this issue.

This is what IM trying to load although this is a JPEG, I converted this to a BMP with Photoshop then put it on the flash drive
