Stereo design "theme" not saving

So I was just floating around the net the other day and I found one of those "watch this" type videos. It showed the two button trick to get into the testing menu. You know the one where you can test the speakers and all that. Well one of the options in the menu is the theme. In the video it shows the theme being changed to the ford Shelby option. When the truck is turned back on the theme has changed and now the start up is of the Shelby snake. I can change mine to any of the options but none of them stay as the default. The only one that changes is the ford gt option but that goes back to normal when I restart the truck.
Am I doing something wrong or is this something I need to change using forscan?

Glad you found this but this is well known by many and very old but I see that you’ve updated to version 3.4.

How are you liking it.



Sad that the chosen theme doesn’t stay after the vehicle is powered down and the stock theme will be back when powered up again.

I’m sure it can be made to stay via FORScan.

I used Forscan to change mine and everything works as expected.

You're in the testing menu, it's only for testing. If you want to make a permanent change you have to do it in Forscan.
