How to change background pictures on AVIC-N2, I tried custom CD-R cd just like they say. I instert it and press a-menu on the touchscreen and all it says is AUDIO, INITIAL, and SETUP and none of those have an option to change background wallpapers. When I put a Navigation cd I dont have that option either. I dont even know how to change time on that thing. I read the manual and did exacly as it says and it doesnt sound hard at all. Just says on the menu option chose "background picture" but I dont even have that choice and dont see the main menu screen. Is there something I am missing? Thanks a lot

make sure that you place the pictures in a specific folder, and then burn the whole folder to the disk. the folder MUST be named something like "BG" for background or something like that. I had the same issue. The headunit looks for the specific folder on the disk, then looks for the pics within the folder. Good Luck.

What is the perfect image size for backgrounds? I know it streches or shrinks it to fit. But the resolution size so that piece of the image is lost. Thanks.
