A little fun with the NAV from PERRIN - Scion FR-S Forum | Subaru BRZ Forum | Toyota 86 GT 86 Forum | AS1 Forum

PERRIN_Jeff · 05-17-2012, 10:39 PM

I spent a bunch of time reading about the NAV system and how it works. In doing so, i discovered something pretty cool! Just another cool way to personalize your BRZ/FR-S.

So how did we do this? Simple, make a graphic, make it high quality, put on an SD card, plug it in and load it up!

The image can be an 16:9 image, and 1980px wide seems to be good, as well as 1280px wide. But other than that, there isn't much to go on in the manual. I had to experiment quite a bit to get it close.

OEM SD card will not work so you will have to go get your own. While i was looking through the data on the OEM SD card I found this interesting folder....

Speed cam folder? I wonder how this is used, or can be used?

Guff · 05-17-2012, 11:38 PM

I wonder what the speed cam is...

PERRIN_Jeff · 05-18-2012, 12:26 AM

I looked for the "Mark the Speed Cam" button but couldn't find it

Jeff did this to my BRZ and didn't tell me first. I nearly pooped myself when it popped up! So very kool!

EDIT!!! i mean my fiance!!!!! lol dammit too late

[M] · 05-18-2012, 03:26 PM

Very neat, will definitely be doing something like this when I get my hands on the car.

Maybe a good pic of the car, or maybe good variation of BRZ / Subaru BRZ

Would like to be able to have multiple though, random upon start.

MannyO · 05-18-2012, 03:29 PM

Hmm now to decide what pic to use...

Thanks for the info/vid Jeff!

Ready...

Thanks for the tip, Jeff! This is really cool. Loaded mine up tonight. I took your advice regarding image size and it worked perfectly on the first try.

Do you have to leave the card in, or can you save it to the head unit?

No, you don't need to leave it in. It saves once you set the image as the custom start up screen. I took my card out and put the original map card back in and it still works at every start up.
