There's no E90's...and if there was, the difference would be too small to notice considering the size of the screen and the car in the Nuvi unit.

If these shouldn't be up, I can tell the host site to pull the files.

Thank you very much

I copied them over to the folder on my nuvi 360 however just the black one shows up in the menu when I try to select it. Anyone else experience this? Thx

Splash Screens

How are they working out for you?

2kaccordocoupe · 01-10-2009, 05:22 PM

Thanks for the splash screens, they are cool. I had to re-size them to 320 x 240 to properly fit the screen.

For some odd reason I still only seeing the black car within the menu. I even downloaded the the direct links to the cars as and no luck.

try this trick and see if it works...notice the E in the bmw_E92_black.srf file is a capital E?

try changing the e to a capital E in the rest of the files and see if that works....like bmw_e92_blue.srf would be bmw_E92_blue.srf

Let me know if that worked.

No dice. Name makes no diff.
I can even rename the black one which currently works to bmw_car.srf and it still comes up fine.

Well I was going to post them but didn't because I have the same problem. Only black works. If I have any of the other colors loaded and try to view them my Garmin shuts off. 777ER sent them to me again but still no luck.

777ER · 01-11-2009, 11:10 PM

Well man I don't know what else to do?

They all work in my BMW Nuvi 360 as it came with....even copied it twice and still the same thing.

When I load them and select them, every one of them works.

Could it be a anti-copy thing?

2kaccordocoupe · 01-12-2009, 04:32 PM

Yeah must be some anti-copy deal. I will use the black one

Thanks for all your help, much appreciated.

Avery · 01-12-2009, 11:51 PM

Good News! After a little work I was able to get all the colors to work correctly and will post them tomorrow.

Well after looking at the file there were a few discrepancies. I tried a few things with no luck but tried going to http://techmods.net/nuvi/ and converted the .srf to a .png. I then converted it back to .srf and that did the trick. It took out the coding that was blocking its use by recreating it.

Avery · 01-13-2009, 11:55 AM

If anyone is interested here are the splash screens I use for my Garmin.

2kaccordocoupe · 01-13-2009, 12:38 PM

Excellent, the fixed downloads you posted worked for me

Much appreciated. Thx

Glad you found the problem...it's strange it works in my Nuvi as it came with it but not when I copied it other than the black one.
