You might be able to use an SD card or such in a card reader that you can plug into the USB port in the truck - but I haven't tried that.
If you're talking about using a wifi or Bluetooth connection to download wirelessly from your iPhone, I don't think you can do that.
I found it very easy to load the images to a thumb drive, then plug it into my truck to download the images to the truck.

If anyone's interested, I created this Photoshop template to make it easier to see what your wallpaper will look like once loaded to My Ford Touch. It should help with image alignment and beats going back and forth to the truck.

All you have to do is select the bottom-most layer labeled "Wallpaper (800 x 384)" and paste your image. Now you can preview your wallpaper with all the menus, buttons, etc overlaid on top. Note that pasting the image will automatically create a new layer. To delete the image simply right click on the new layer (probably labeled "Layer 1") and click 'Delete Layer'.
Tip 1: After pasting your image you can press CTRL+T and re-size your image by dragging the anchor points that appear around the image.
Tip 2: You can turn the guides on and off by toggling 'Extras' from the 'View' menu. The guides allow you to precisely lineup your image to the edges or center of the wallpaper area.
Tip 3: You can also change some of the text such as your phone's name, Nav directions and temperature.
Hope you find it useful
