Does anyone know if there's a specific disc you need to put pictures on to do this? I looked in the manual and it says the file can't be more than 1.5 MB (which I've made sure all the pictures I've loaded onto a CD are no more than that). It must be a jpe/jpg/jpeg and the CD or DVD must be ISO 9660 format, UDF format is not supported. Everytime I try to put a CD in with jpeg images with less than 1.5 MB pictures it won't read the disc. What does ISO 9660 format mean? Maybe the disc I'm using is the UDF format?

I think you might have better luck using an SD card or USB device to copy the background image to your system. Can you try one of those two options? I know that there are several posts on a number of forums that show how to do this but here's a video I found from dealer (in OH odd enough) and it's a chick so it's at least tolerable instead of some hillbilly video. LOL.

I tried that and it kept saying to put a CD in. I have a 2012 SHO. I think the newer SHOs (and newer Fords for that matter) will allow you to upload pictures from a USB.

" In summary:

1. UDF is a newer file sytem format compared to ISO 9660.
2. UDF is said to be a more efficient and compatible format compared to ISO 9660. "

When you are burning the disc, you should have an option to choose the format.

That worked! Thanks man. When I put the disc into my computer a small screen popped up as it always does that asks for a disc title. It also asks if you want to show the formatting options. If you click on that you choose "Mastered" instead of "Live File System." I just put the CD in my SHO and it uploaded all the pictures.
