boots Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 If you want me to make changes to it, I'm more than happy to change it. Which head unit do you have? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wideford Posted April 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 AVIC 700bt i like the pic. i am not sure what i would change. maybe a little more truck and a little less ford simble. let me think about it. i am not that creative as i stated before. thanks again for all the help. this will be a nice touch. plus your work would be seen at all the shows i take it too.

boots Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Ok, cool. A little later today when I get some time, I'll change it up a little bit and then I'll see what you think. What color is your interior? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

boots Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Hey, here are a few quick ones again. I had a hard time deciding on a font to use so if there is a specific font that you like, let me know and I can download it and put it on there. They are the same picture but one of them has the pioneer logo and the other doesn't. Let me know what you want different about it. -Brian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wideford Posted May 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 sorry bro. i was out of town for the weekend. the second one is bad ass. no how do i get it on to my head unit i guess i will do a search. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
boots Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 I have a F90 and I assume it will be the same for the F700...I just grab an SD card and make a folder on there called "Pictures"(it needs to be called this for the HU to recognize it) and inside of that folder you can put the picture you want as your boot screen. Then you just have to go into your visual settings, i think, and just click on "splash screen". then you just import the picture from your SD card and you're all done. Its pretty simple.

wideford Posted May 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 sweet. i got it to work but you cant really see the faded fender shot of the truck. i am hoping that will be more clear in the night time. and is there supposed to be a black bar on each side of the splashscreen. Or is this just an image size issue? thanks again for your help i am pretty excited about having that as my loading page. lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
boots Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Here is the same picture but I made the faded part of the truck a little more visible. Let me know if you want anything changed. How wide are the black bars on the screen? The picture should fit good since it's the right size for the HU so I'm not too sure why you would be having black bars on the sides. Sorry.

wideford Posted May 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 i will give the new pic a try. the side black bars are about half inch each. it still looks bad ass but it would look better if it fit completely. is there a chance it is a problem with my settings on my head unit? i will take a pic of it and post it on here so you can see what i am talking about. you have been very helpful. i appreciate it a lot there is no way i could have done something like that pic. it will be a good touch when the truck is at shows and photo shoots.

boots Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Maybe try resetting the head unit? If that doesn't work I can make you a picture that is a little bit wider to see if that fixes it. Let me know. -Brian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
