Jim, you have load your own pic, but the radio is so new I have not yet found how to do it. The older ones you hold down the power and volume up buttons and then when it starts you hit the reset button, bla ,bla bla.
You have to use a 800x480 pic. this is the one I want !!

I think I got the same head unit! I'm enjoying it with all of its settings & what such. Only issue I have is that it struggles to sync Bluetooth wise. Have you had that issue with yours?

No not at all, with the first app it kept saying to hook up the USB cable ???? (and it was hooked up)

Sometimes if it is paired with something else it can be a issue (the phone)????

Paul that photo is 800 X 600 not 800 X 480

I made this one up at 800 X 600 for you, but could easily make it 480... and uploading to these head units is very specific.. I made a few for my car..

put it on a flash drive and up load it to your head unit.
