Sick of Stock Shots? Try a "Coming Soon" Image Instead

Last month a customer asked us if we could stop showing stock photos for their used vehicles. Instead of the standard still shot from the manufacturer, our dealer wanted to display their own, custom, "coming soon" photo. Unfortunately, we had to tell her that such a feature wasn't available in our system.

But, just like many customer requests, we thought it was a great idea. So we worked with the dealer and have produced what we think is the best and easiest way to kick stock photos to the curb and put your own touch on new arrivals.

New Settings for Coming Soon

All you need to do is visit the Image Processing Settings Page and choose to "Use Coming Soon Image Instead of Stock Photos". Then, select the image you want to use in the "New/Used Vehicle Coming".


  • You can control this setting for New or Used vehicles independently.
  • Be sure to click save when done modifying your settings.
  • Your vehicle images will be updated during your next polling job. Normally, this will happen overnight. If you are getting a little antsy, send support an email and they will take care of you ASAP!
