Here's how to get your own photo onto the startup screen. This easy job takes 10 to 15 minutes and costs nothing to complete. The materials needed include a computer, USB stick and the desired image file(s). Step One - Set up the file directory On your computer, create a directory titled "Image" and save it on the USB stick. To successfully upload the photo on a 2013 or older Lexus IS, it's important to only name the file "StartupImage" with a capital "I." For the 2014 and newer Lexus IS, simply name the file "Image." Step Two - Place your desired file in the image directory Save the image you want to upload as a ".JPG" or ".JPEG" file in the directory you created. The image file cannot be larger than 10 megabites, and the file name cannot be longer than 32 characters. Next, put the USB stick into the car's USB port, which is situated in the vehicle's center console armrest cubby. Step Three - Set up the system Turn your car on. Using the navigation system screen, start by clicking on "menu" near the mouse, followed by "setup," and then "general settings." Finally, click on "customize images." Step Four - Add the image Once you've set up the system, select "copy from USB" and wait for the image to copy. As soon as the picture appears, choose "set images" and click on the photo you'd prefer to use. Step Five - Select desired options Select any option you prefer, such as "set as both." After choosing your desired options, turn the vehicle off and then back on to ensure that the changes are successfully completed.
