Nshogren Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 My phone syncs fine with Bluetooth but I can't get it to connect to add a wallpaper. I've tried Bluetooth and the usb cord but it can't find my phone. Has anyone else have this problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ls973800 Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 The only way I have ever added wallpaper is to copy it to a USB drive, and then insert the USB into the car. You then save the images to the hard drive ( I guess that is where it is stored in the car). You then have to go into the menu and select which picture you want to have displayed. I have never tried to copy it directly from the phone using BT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, the system is not designed to see the pictures on your phone. I hope that helps! Rebecca Nshogren 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevedebi Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 There's a wallpaper thread that will tell you the specifics, like image size.FrankMay as well list it here: MyFord Touch allows you to upload photos in several different types of formats, including .jpg, .gif, .png, and .bmp. There is a file size limit of 1.5mb and can hold up to 32 pictures total. The optimal resolution for a photo on MyFord Touch is 800×384.

fbov Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Instructions for uploading wallpaper are in the owners' manual, under My Ford Touch / Settings / Display, page 498 in mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fbov Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 There are two kinds of size, file storage size and image dimensions. Both can be issues, as cameras/phones gain increased resolution. 800x384 images in less than 1.5MB files of JPG, PNG, GIF and BMP format should work. Frank Note: Photographs with extremely large dimensions (i.e., 2048 x 1536)may not be compatible and appear as a blank (black) image on thedisplay.Your system allows you to upload and view up to 32 photos.To access, press the Settings icon > Display > Edit Wallpaper, andthen follow the system prompts to upload your photographs.Only the photograph(s), which meets the following conditions, display:• Compatible file formats are as follows: .jpg, .gif, .png, .bmp.• Each file must be 1.5 MB or less.• Recommended dimensions: 800 x 384 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
