we can change the picture? I know in an old ford we had you could, but havent seen the option in my truck. It annoys me they cant bother to code in the right color of the truck to the color they painted it.
cant be that hard. instead I have to look at a blue truck all the time…. sheesh. nothing against blue trucks but.

Retired and not looking. I am driving the wife crazy.
I would rather have a splash screen with provocative rotating female poses and minimum cover. I don't like my blue pickup either.

I just wish the model matched. Us RCSB folks have to look at a crew cab....first world problems :cautious:

I also have a 2019 subaru ascent. Can color match the vehicle on the displays. Minor thing but I thought the same.

If I were to guess (and that's exactly what it is, a guess?), I'd say it's an animation stored in one of the APIM file packages. One would have to decode the file format, find the animation, decode that (if its format it different), insert the new one and reverse the process. Oh, that assumes no encryption was used ?.

Yes, they could have done better ?‍♂ Hmmm, maybe a nice forest scene while stuck in traffic ?

As a loyal RC person, I too am slightly bothered by looking at an image of something I would never own, as well.

But as you stated, first world problem. It’s amazing what has trickled down to the XL.

Ford will probably scrape this idea off forum and put in sync 5. ?
