Creating Alpine Background Files - .APN
Does anyone know a program to create your own background files for the Alpine Head Units?
If Alpine can do it, then there has to be software SOMEHWHERE, right?
They use the extension .APN

Read all posts by 'Daniel' this thread completely. He goes into great length of the conversion process and also has links to his own websites regarding this.
As far as getting your jpg onto your Alpine, contacting Daniel is your best bet.
If you want to use some that he's already converted, they can be found here. Mustang wallpapers are on page 6, but I like the ones on page 5!

Thus, Alpine won't want their reputation tarnished.

I would like to see the Running Pony (no stripes) on an Alpine Blue Background, instead of black.

You can download Alpine created Wallpapers as well HERE. Just register, there are quite a few to choose from.
I chose this one.

I wish there was a way to have a "screen saver" feature on these units. So when not in use for....10 seconds or so (except for nav) the screen displays the current wallpaper.
