How do I add an image I created of my car

General
1

I created a image of my car which I want to add to my custom dash. But can’t find an option to add it in

2

While editing dashboard:

  • Create new Image gauge
  • Go to Look’n Feel->Images->Background Image
  • Use the plus sign (+) to add assets to your dashboard.

Thanks mate.
I have added the picture to my edited dash which is the Audi virtual cockpit I purchased.
I removed the fuel consumption section and added the picture to that page but it comes up on every page. How do I just add it to that page only.

When setting the dash page background, you can either set it to single page or all pages at the same time.

  • In edit mode, go to Look’n Feel->Dash Page->Select Image
  • On bottom left corner is a gear icon with text ‘Apply to’. Click on gear to change if background image is set to ‘This Page’ or ‘All Pages’.

Hi I have tried this but it sets the image to behind the whole cluster and I can’t adjust the size or bring to front. The image I inserted does not get the option to set it to this page. It’s like the map screen didn’t get set to all pages. That’s what I want to do

Copy-paste your image gauge to all the pages you wish to use it on.

I don’t want that image on all the pages, just one. But when I add it the way you mentioned it automatically goes on all pages. This is the last mod and my gauges are complete. Is there a way I can send you a video of what I mean.

The problem may be that if you started with Virtual Cockpit premium dashboard, that has pre-defined animations that may cause the gauge appear the way you are not planning.

True, I don’t fully understand what you mean. Upload a video someplace and link here.

I just want that picture on one page because it covers what’s on the other pages

Yes, I see. There has been some terminology problems. The Virtual Cockpit premium dashboard has only one page. In addition, it has animation systems that show/hide certain gauges when tapped.

In order to make this work, you would need to find the Trigger that is responsible for showing/hiding the map gauge. The attach a new Action that show/hide your logo accordingly.

Generally we do not recommend modifying our Premium dashboards as it can get pretty complicated fast and its very easy to break existing animations to make the dash pretty much useless.

Ok I’ll have to just forget about it. Thanks for your help

Does anyone know if we can use gifs as the background to just keep on loop? I wanna have the background move.

You can. Once you add the gif you have to make a button and add the action to play video and point that to the gif.

You don’t need the button or action after that unless you edit he gif.

14

Do you have a step by step? I’m going to be honest I have zero clue what you mean. Long story short I just want the gif’s to play on loop as a background image but I can only get them to be static images. Randomly, and I’ll have no clue how, but I can get them to become animated after messing with things but randomly again they will stop. Does anyone have more info on how to accomplish this?

It’s about 830 for me. I can help you out closer to 11 when I’m done with work.

That would be super rad and helpful! I’m just at a loss because idk what I flipped or did but I got it to work for a bit and then it just stopped.

Edit → Add Gauge → Image Gauge → Look’N Feel → Background Image
If you haven’t uploaded it yet then upload the GIF file and select it.

→ Colors
Make sure image blend colors are correct. Usually it changes the hue a bit.

Add Gauge → UI → Button
Input & Values → Select Button Action → New Action → Action Type → Video Gauge Play
Select Gauge → Select Image Gauge Containing Gif

This will permanently make the animation play. You can delete the Button and New Action upon verifying that it’s playing.

IF you update the GIF file you have to do the button/action all over again.

If you save it while playing it’ll load like that. So far no issues on loading even though I have an animation playing. Like no lag that I see

Tried this a couple times with a couple different gifs and doesn’t seem to be working. I’m trying it on my iPhone just to test it before I disconnect my tablet out of my car. Is there a way to just have the dash page play gifs?? This seems oddly and frustratingly complicated when the dash page could just auto roll gifs. If it can display static images gif’s shouldn’t be an issue right?

I have a 2 constant gif playing. One is a mini engine which is visible once It detects the engine is running. Another is a fade that brightens and dims adn they work perfectly fine for me here.

Heads up, transparent GIFs won’t work. You have to have background. I use black behind my fade before exporting it as a GIF.
