    Bored of that plain looking GARMIN start up icon well do this. It doesnt have to be just this you can use any image. I chose this for the how to.
    Supplies

    Google.

    Step 1: Google images (Garmin Toyota Icon)
    2nuhzt_3ebd41ced77b1acccd7ec01d9b0c7bdabbdd526b.jpg
    Step 2: Save the image to your desktop
    Step 3: Plug in your Garmin into the computer USB port and into the Garmin (you'll see a little Icon on your Garmin and a new device on computer)
    Step 4: Click Open folder to view folders in Garmin autoplay
    2mxq1zo_8398d71eecdb1062149b8d8b47bdf94507334c72.jpg
    Step 5: Select Garmin folder

    205xpfl_b4afaa1cde60aef86d77dd925343a3f096338f03.jpg
    Step 7: Click you image file on your desktop and drag it into the JPEG file
    1zz1cae_41dbb073ceabc1586a357106b7d9fbdc041fc5c8.jpg

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    Nice. I understand you can change the voice, too. I'm gonna try and see if I can download Daffy Ducks voice.

    One of my friends had a pornstar voice, it wasn't a Garmin though. I didn't know you could change the voice on the Garmin.
