anyway to put a screensaver on our screen?

I think i've seen someone here with a red G35 sedan with a pic of his own car on the screen.

How is that done? and how do you transfer pic files to the car?

Can't you just put pictures on a COmpact FLash and then view them? It would not be a screeen saver but you could have a picture of whatever there.

you upload the pictures to your computer and whenever you see the picture that you want, right click and set as background. i do not know if that works or not.

That was me, although it's not a screensaver.

Probably hooked up a digital cameras video output to the cars RCA type video input, while the car is stopped and e brake engaged of course.
You could hook up a portable dvd player this way and watch while parked, or listen only while driving...

Nah, not a PS.

All I did was connect one of my digital cameras to the AUX ports in the armrest. The e-brake has to be on to view your pictures.
