    I have a TomTom Go GPS and I wanted my vehicle cursor to look like my Tacoma instead of the default vehicle icons that come pre installed so I took a photo of my truck and made one. I attached it here for you to use if you'd rather have a Tacoma truck icon instead of a sedan. (the red background is invisible to a TomTom)

    I also attached a few custom startup screens for your Entune system. In order for your Tacoma to "see" the files they have to be on a thumb drive in a folder called "StartupImage" (for the splash screen) and “DisplayOffImage" (to use as a screen saver when the screen is turned off). Below is a more detailed description for how to accomplish this:

    Load a usb device, such as a flash drive with the image of your choice. The images file name, including the file extension, can be up to 32 characters. Name the image without spaces or strange characters. When saving the images to a USB, name the folder that the startup image is saved to “StartupImage” and name the folder that the screen off image is saved to “DisplayOffImage”. If these folder names are not used, the navigation system cannot download the images. (The folder names are case sensitive.)
    The images file extension is JPG or JPEG. Image files of 10MB or less can be saved.
    Up to 3 images can be downloaded. Plug the flash drive into your car usb port.
    On the entune nav system:
    Press the “SETUP” button
    Touch “General” on the “Setup” screen.
    Touch “Customize Startup Image”
    Touch “Transfer”
    Touch “Yes”
    You can also delete and switch between screens.
    You should now see your new startup screen flash by when the entune system is started each time.

    Why does this not have more replies!?

    We could create a collection of Entune Screens in TacomaWorld! Anyone have a TW splash screen?
