How to Set Wallpaper for Car DVD Player GPS Nav Unit?

Nowadays it's common to install an aftermarket car DVD player GPS nav unit because of the excellent features it provides. If you purchased a DVD nav unit, normally there's an default image for the wallpaper which is the same as all buyers, just like the boot car logo when startup. But do you know you can also custom a personalized background image as the wallpaper of the unit?

Firstly you can prepare the image you would like to set, the resolution for the image should be the same as your screen, for example, if your screen is 800*480, then the background image should also be with 800*480 resolution, so that it's clear enough after setting. You may need to use Photoshop to custom the image, the wallpaper can be chosen as a photo from you or your family, or beautiful scenery, or anything else, the clearer the better, for more wallpapers you can check this site.

After you have already prepared the background image, you can copy the image to a USB device or a micro SD card, then connect the USB with USB cable or insert the SD card into the SD card slot(not the GPS card slot) which is usually at the front panel of the DVD nav unit.

So your USB device has been connected with the unit now, click USB icon in main menu, enter into USB mode, browse files and find out the image, double click the image, then save this image as your wallpaper, then you will see a message "set wallpaper successfully".

What Can Aftermarket BMW DVD GPS Navigation Head Unit Do For You?

To the car navigation systems enthusiast and more so BMW car owners, the BMW DVD GPS Navigation Head Unit is the perfect choice for real time car entertainment in as far as quality High Definition (HD) display, quality sound system and detailed navigation are concerned. Depending on the model of your BMW car ranging from the BMW 3 series(E46 or E90), BMW X5 E53 or BMW 5 series E39 and many others, you can choose a BMW DVD GPS navigation head unit that is suitable for you according to your car model.

The aftermarket BMW DVD GPS navigation head unit can do a lot for you as it has been experienced by a number of BMW owners. As mentioned above, this system has a wide full touch screen that allows you to make fast selections for your specifications on the factory menu and the new menu for GPS navigation, USB, DVD player and even the iPod. The screen from the BMW navigation system helps you to keep your kids entertained by playing some DVD movies and cartoons hence less distractions from the children which helps you to concentrate on driving.

The wide screen also offers you convenience. Through its clear pictures one can be able to see clearly the rear part of the car as you drive backwards on the reverse mode if you connect it with a back up camera. This advancement in technology means that the old method of reversing you car by turning your head backwards to check whether you are driving safely so as not to hit the trash-bin or the wall at the neighborhood is a thing of the past. And the new head unit supports your steering wheel controls through a CAN-BUS decoder.

Through integration of the major functions of the main dashboard components such as multimedia, radio, telephone, contacts and navigation into one system with a single controller, the driver is able to make hands free phone calls via Bluetooth connectivity. This reduces distractions so the driver is able to concentrate on driving and avoids causing accidents.

Another benefit of installing the BMW navigation system in your specific BMW car model is that the system enables the driver to receive real time traffic information so that the driver can avoid traffic congestion. With the IGO GPS maps offered for free by most navigation re-seller outlets, the driver is able to track the traffic condition of major road networks that would affect the traffic situation on the roads they are using.

One more benefit that is worth mentioning is that after it has served you diligently for your many navigation and car entertainment needs and you decide to upgrade your car by selling it and purchasing another, the car command is a greater resell value than when it lacks the navigation system.

Since many BMW drivers consider cars with an already installed GPS navigation head unit as more desirable than those without the system, they are willing to spend more to acquire such a car and this assures you that you will get a higher return when you decide to sell you current BMW model with an already installed aftermarket BMW DVD GPS navigation head unit.
