I just made a bunch of custom pics CDs for a D3. Went out to my car and loaded them up only to find the 6.9"W x 3.3"H made the pics about half the size of the D3 screen. I also made a CD with the same pics but the size was 13.89"W x 6.67"H and that made the pics looked stretched up and down. I looked everywhere for the D3 screen pic file size with no luck. Anyone out there know the actual size to make custom pics for the D3?

500 x 240

 

That is what I posted, 500 x 240 = 6.9" x 3.3" It does not work, there is a black border around my picture... Or it's about 1/2 the size of the screen.

Make sure in your photo editing software that you are measuring in pixels. I dont think it directly converts like that.

The res shouldn’t matter; I use 72 as well though. 500x240 = ~6.944 x 3.33 it is not exact so be sure to select pixels and not inches. I am not sure about the D3 but I think all pioneers use 500x240 and if they are not then the unit will make adjustments and sometimes screws up the image.
