Ah right... my sincere apologies then....
I was thinking of TomTom's main product ranges, and we get an awful lot of people with those who (quite reasonably!) think the part number they find on their unit will be enough to describe it to us.
In my defence, I'm not even sure Mazda have a TomToms system with that name in the UK! Whould you please do me a favour and adjust your forum profile so it says something like "Mazda NB1, just so I don't forget again?
hwell:
Also, through long experience, when we hear people asking why model xyz isn't mentioned on TomTom's website somewhere, we automatically tend to assume it's an error on the website... usually that TT simply haven't added their more recent models.
However, they MAY be quite right in this case... once they start designing things in tandem with a car manufacturer, all sorts of little things might be different.
For example, a car maker may insist on having their own logo coming up on screen on switch-on, so TT MAY disable the normal splashscreen functionality.
I'm not saying that's definitely the case, but in the likely absence of anyone else on the forums with specific knowledge of your unit, we'll probably have to do a few experiments to try to work out what is possible or not.
First things I can think of to ask are
1. Do you get ANYTHING on screen during the start-up?
2.You mentioned putting your new file in the same folder as splashw.bmp...
On normal TomToms, that file isn't in a folder, it's inthe top level or "root" of the TomTom memory. Have you tried that? (preferably with the originalsplashw.bmp first - just to rule out any issues with your own file)
3. If that works, then try taking the original splashw.bmp file off the unit for safety, and then rename your new image to the same name, and try that.
