Custom infotainment background

Hi all, I have recently received my ATTO 2 Comfort, and it is indeed a delightful car. Coming from an almost 10 year old ICE car, this is quite a different experience. There is however one thing I could not find out. How does one set a custom infotainment wallpaper? I managed to copy the files onto the infotainment system (all 1080p, JPEG) using an USB C stick, but I have not found a way to set them as background. It's not showing up in the Themes app, nor does the File Explorer give me any options to set a selected image as my wallpaper. I tried poking Gemini to find a solution, but to no avail. Any hints would be appreciated. Edit: accessing the USB drive was not a problem, that worked pretty much out of the box. "Set as wallpaper" just doesn't appear as an option though, see https://imgur.com/YcdC8Ez Edit 2: System version is 49.1.2.2507132.1

You should go to your album and set it as your wallpaper!

Where are you located? I also have the same model and setup as you.

Hmm. How would that option be called? When I opened any of the images in the Albums app, I only see Edit, Rename, Favorite, Share, Delete, and Details. Edit: for context, the car is on version 2.

I'm in Austria.

Italy, I'm trying to mount the original Dash-Cam, without success, it doesn't seem to exist yet for this model

Odd. There is no "Set as wallpaper" button for me. Does the image have to be a specific kind of JPEG for that to work? Mine are encoded in 4:2:0 progressive. Edit: https://imgur.com/YcdC8Ez

I moved it from a USB stick. Just look around and you will see it.

The Comfort trim only has USB C. The car can see the stick, the car can access the stick, I can look at the images. But there is no option to set an image as a wallpaper where other people said it would be.

Sadly, I do not :( see https://www.reddit.com/r/BYD/comments/1q2trim/custom_infotainment_background/nxgybv2/ But thanks anyway! :)

I have the exact same issue, simply no "Set as Wallpaper" option. Coincidentally i'm from Austria too. Seems odd for this to be region locked, but looks like it is... :/

My goodness, thank you! I thought I was going crazy and questioned my entire existence. If you ever find out what's going on, please let me know.

sanzus-longus 2026-02-13 22:59

Sure thing! Ofc if you find something out, please let me know too. :) Had some custom wallpapers prepared just to find out it does not work :/

Just got my Atto 2 a couple of weeks ago, and was searching over and over for this, as mine also does not have the set as wallpaper option. Not sure if it has been removed intentionally ? Please let us know if you manage to find something...

I haven't found anything yet, but I admit I wasn't looking very hard lately 😅 The only thing I noticed is that for a tiny split second, the button _is_ there. Specifically for the few milliseconds while the image is still loading or preparing to be shown. I tried smashing the place where the button would be during those few milliseconds, but that hasn't worked yet.

Indeed the image shows the set as wallpaper for a split second, I noticed it reading your comment, I did not notice it at first.
