C6g3 Infotainment Services (recommended):

A small companion application that runs alongside the game. It allows for loading music and images from outside the game directory, supports a wider range of audio formats, and enables the voice assistant. It is also required for using shortcuts that point to folders located outside the BeamNG user folder or the game directory. The Infotainment Center will still function without it, but with limited features.

Adding Music:

Open the "Music" app and click the "+" button next to the queue (in the top-right corner), then select "Open Music Folder." Place your music files into this folder and click the refresh button on the Infotainment Center screen. Subfolders will appear as playlists (ensure "Use Folders" is enabled). You can also add Windows shortcuts (.lnk) that point to music folders located anywhere on your PC.

Adding Images and Wallpapers:

Open the "Photos" app and click "Open Images Folder" at the top. Place your images into this folder and click the refresh button on the Infotainment Center screen. Subfolders will appear as albums; Windows shortcuts (.lnk) work here as well. To set a wallpaper, open any image and select "Set as Wallpaper."

Keyboard Override:

Press Ctrl + F12 or tap the on-screen keyboard icon to type on the Infotainment Center using your physical keyboard. Press it again to return keyboard control to the game. Installation Instructions

Download the mod and do not extract it. Open the game launcher, but do not click "Launch." Select "Manage User Folder," then "Open User Folder," and navigate to the "mods" folder. Place the mod file there without extracting it.
